[[File:Rood Gorm Bronius Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Rood in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Rood appears as a member of the Seven Sages in the {{chap|Black & White}}. Three years prior to the start of the chapter, he is tasked with finding the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} so that it may use its powers to bring victory for Team Plasma.
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Rood is one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma. Three years prior to the start of the {{MangaArc|Black & White}}, he was tasked with finding information on the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} so that its power may be used to bring victory for Team Plasma. Rood debuted in person in ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]'', where he and the other sages were seen in [[Accumula Town]] after [[Ghetsis]] gave a speech convincing people to release their Pokémon.
 
Although not seen in person, in ''[[PS480|At Liberty on Liberty Garden]]'', Rood sent three of his subordinate {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s to [[Liberty Garden]] so they could capture Victini. The Grunts were eventually defeated by {{adv|Black}}, who used Victini's ability to bring victory to help him defeat the Grunts' Pokémon.
 
In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma launched their attack on the {{un|Pokémon League}}, surrounding the building with N's Castle. As a form of mockery and display of Team Plasma's power, the [[Gym Leader]]s were hoisted on cross-like fixtures and displayed in front of the masses. While Black went ahead to face {{adv|N}}, a group of regular Trainers led by {{tc|Hiker}} Andy fought the sages in his place. Together, Andy and the others managed to free the Gym Leaders, forcing Rood and the other sages to flee.
 
===={{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}====
Two years later, Rood and the other sages were sought after by the [[International Police]] members {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, who aimed to arrest them along with the other remaining Team Plasma members. Unlike the other sages, Rood, along with Gorm, decided to side with the members of Team Plasma who believed in N's ideals.


Rood first appears alongside the other sages in ''[[PS467|Letting Go]]'' walking with Ghetsis after the latter gave a speech on releasing Pokémon to the public. Although not seen in person, he sends three {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s to capture Victini for Team Plasma on [[Liberty Garden]]. They were defeated by {{adv|Black}}, who used Victini's ability to bring victory to help him defeat the Grunts' Pokémon. After N awakens {{p|Zekrom}} from the [[Dragon Stones|Dark Stone]], Rood and the other sages watch as N attempts to befriend Zekrom and have it join Team Plasma's cause.
In ''[[PS539|Frozen World]]'', Rood arrived in [[Castelia City]] shortly after it was frozen by the [[Plasma Frigate]]. There, he met {{adv|Whitley}}, a former Team Plasma Grunt tasked with guarding a memory card containing data on a device that could counteract the Pokémon-controlling [[Colress Machine]]. Whitley revealed she lost the memory card, but it was found by [[Hugh]], a classmate of hers. Rood had his subordinates search the unconscious Hugh's body, only to discover it wasn't on his person. Whitley came to conclusion he must have left it behind at the [[Aspertia City]]'s [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]]. Rood decided to leave immediately, but Whitley feared leaving her classmates behind would expose her identity as a member of Team Plasma. Rood had N's {{TP|N|Zorua}} {{a|Illusion|take}} Whitley's form to fool the classmates long enough for them to find the memory card. Before they could act, Whitley pushed Rood out of the way of an incoming {{p|Mandibuzz}}, leading to her being captured and taken aboard the Plasma Frigate, allowing Rood to escape.


At the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}}, Team Plasma enacts its plan and summons N's Castle from the depths of the earth to surround the League building. Rood and the other Sages emerge from the castle as they watch the chaos unfold. {{adv|Black}} attempts to confront them, but Ghetsis easily defeats Black's team. With no way to save the Gym Leaders, stop the Grunts causing havoc below, and face N in battle, Black is assisted by several Trainers that he had met over the course of his journey. The Trainers battle against the sages and rescue the Gym Leaders from the bindings. The Gym Leaders then help battle the sages, but Rood and the others eventually escape from the battle without being seen.
In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Hugh awakened at the Aspertia Trainers' School. Rood requested Hugh reveal the location of the memory card, but the boy refused as Team Plasma stole his [[Hugh's sister|younger sister]]'s {{p|Purrloin}} years ago. Rood assured Hugh that Purrloin was safe in the care of someone else and promised to retrieve it once the memory card was dealt with. Before Hugh could respond, a group of Plasma Grunts broke into the room in order to stop them. Hugh reluctantly gave up the key to his room and told Rood to get the memory card while he stayed behind and kept the Grunts busy.  


In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Rood was revealed to be the direct superior to [[Whi-Two]] and her mother when they were both [[Team Plasma Grunt]]s.
In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', after the memory card was retrieved, Rood and Hugh fled to the white Team Plasma's hideout and activated the anti-Colress Machine device. Afterward, Rood went to the [[Giant Chasm]], where he confronted Colress, telling him that his plans had been foiled. The device successfully freed {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} from Colress's control, only for it to absorb {{p|Reshiram}} and transform into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|White Kyurem}}.
 
In ''[[PS548|Epilogue: Graduation Ceremony]]'', after Team Plasma's defeat, Rood was arrested and taken into custody by the [[International Police]]. He was visited by Whitley, who returned to her normal life after her friends agreed to keep her status as a former Team Plasma member a secret. Rood informed Whitley that N would be released on bail so he could work to return the Pokémon liberated by Team Plasma back to their original owners.
