This is revealed in The Last Guardian.Lion of Macedon is a historic fantasy novel written by English author David Gemmell. He took the name Shannow after a mentor, Varey Shannow, was murdered. One of the reasons he’s so deadly is that there is no grey area for him, meaning he kills anyone who is evil. He also has semi-automatic guns, stolen from enemies in the first book and held close ever since, and his cap and ball revolvers, with which he’s amazingly accurate. Shannow wields a minimum of three pistols. Shannow also manages to pick up sword-fighting within moments of laying his hands on a Sipstrassi sword once owned by Pendarric. Rolynd is a state of being, and with it, Shannow was afforded incredibly fast reflexes and an uncanny sixth sense for danger. You have a sense for danger that you call instinct, but it is far more. You have not survived this far on skill alone that within you guides you. It is an apartness, a loneliness, a talent. A man cannot be born Rolynd or even become Rolynd. "The Rolynd is not a race, Shannow it is a state of being.
Shannow was described as "Rolynd" by Pendarric in a conversation to the Jerusalem Man: Deeply religious, but follows both the old and new testament Gods as one individual, and deals amazingly well with shooting people dead if they step out of line. He’s the most feared gunslinger in this post-apocalyptic world, an incontrovertibly insane man looking for a dead city to atone for past sins. Jon Shannow, also know as the Jerusalem Man, is featured in three novels in the Stones of Power series.
