—Roger, "Rogercop" | ||
Lieutenant Roger Raincomprix[7][8] (also known as Agent Roger or, formerly, Officer Roger) is a recurring character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is a policeman and Sabrina Raincomprix's father.
In "Rogercop", when he was fired by André Bourgeois for refusing to arrest Marinette Dupain-Cheng for stealing Chloé Bourgeois's bracelet without evidence, which would be in violation of the law, he was akumatized by Hawk Moth and became Rogercop, a robotic police supervillain.
In "Kuro Neko", Roger was reakumatized into Rogercop by Shadow Moth for unknown reasons.
In "Daddycop", after being called by Sabrina to pick her up and hearing her say no one wanted to be her friend, he is akumatized by Chrysalis into Daddycop, an upgraded version of his previous akumatization as Rogercop. He also received a Magical Charm from Ladybug that prevented him from being akumatized again.
Appearance
Physical Appearance
Lieutenant Roger is at a medium height and a bit overweight. He has pale skin, short orange hair on the back and sides (but has gone bald on the top as revealed in "Startrain") and eyebrows, vivid spring green eyes, and a large nose.
Civilian Attire
His police cap is dark blue and has the word "police" written in all uppercase white letters. He wears a blue polo shirt with a badge with the flag of France on his right arm.

He also wears dark blue pants with a black belt, a baton attached to the belt, and black work boots. His silver police whistle dangles from his neck, like a necklace.
As Rogercop
Rogercop was taller and more muscular, and he wore a dark blue armored jumpsuit. His chest, hands, the underside of his upper arms, behind, back of his legs, and hips were black. The police whistle was still around his neck. Also, he had light blue lines around where his blasters were on the back up his forearms, around the black on his chest, and around the bottom of his feet. His skin was quite pale, and a hollow light blue triangle pointing downwards was at the center of his chest. His helmet included a light blue line above a light blue shield in front of his eyes. His left shoulder and right shoulder had a blinking red light and blue light, respectively.

Personality
Roger signaling the police force to not attack.
Roger is a dedicated police officer who firmly believes in the principle that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In the episode "Rogercop," he disobeys André Bourgeois's orders to arrest Marinette without sufficient evidence, as he believes that would violate the law; this decision results in his temporary suspension. Roger is known for being strict, as demonstrated when he throws Xavier Ramier out of the Trocadéro in "Mr. Pigeon" for his habit of feeding the pigeons. He also takes pride in the police's ability to handle situations without outside help, telling Ladybug in "Copycat" that her assistance is unnecessary. However, he can be excessive in dealing with lawbreakers. In both "Gigantitan" and "Gorizilla", he piled numerous tickets to Placide I.T. for seemingly minor offenses, even asserting that he tickets Anarka Couffaine in "Captain Hardrock" for reasons such as "bad behavior," claiming that it made him use too many tickets, which disrupts his sleep and makes him seasick. Despite his strictness and pride in his duties, when not focused on work, Roger is friendly, loving towards his daughter, and kind to others.
Roger loves his daughter very much, but his love can sometimes lead him to be overly protective. When he notices that she is feeling sad, he goes to great lengths to help her, even if his actions prevent her from processing her emotions independently. After being de-akumatized from his persona as Daddycop, Ladybug reassured him that Sabrina is very capable of handling her own struggles, thanks in part to having him as a father.
As Rogercop, he became a merciless, emotionless, law-abiding figure who forced civilians to comply with what he believed were the rules. He sought order and obedience and was not tolerant of anyone questioning his authority. His desire for revenge also fueled him, particularly regarding his anger towards André for firing him.
As Daddycop, he became determined to help Sabrina make as many friends as possible. However, this obsession made him unaware that Sabrina doesn’t want to be forced into friendships; she desires to be loved for who she truly is.
Abilities
As Rogercop
Rogercop had blasters on his forearms that shot handcuffs, one of them red and the other blue. When they attached to people, he could command them and blow his whistle to make them do whatever he wanted, whether for a short period of time or continuously. The blasters could also fire tracking devices, which allowed Rogercop to easily locate anyone or anything they attached to, like André Bourgeois' limousine. He was also able to attach his shoes to moving surfaces. Another ability of the blasters was shooting a laser beam, allowing him to break down doors.
His car, having gotten an upgrade when he was akumatized, was able to fly. It also had an autopilot option so that he could do other tasks without having to drive.
As Daddycop
Similar to Rogercop, Daddycop has a flying car and blasters on his forearms. Anyone hit by his blasters will become infatuated with his daughter Sabrina and will chase her down so they can love her the way he does. The pupils of people affected by their lasers turn bright pale pink.

Sabrina Raincomprix/Miss Hound

Roger presenting with Sabrina at Career Day.
Sabrina is his daughter, whom he loves a lot. In "Santa Claws", he reassures her that they'll find her friend, the missing Adrien Agreste. His love for his daughter shows that he listens to Sabrina and thereby loses negative emotions in "Startrain". In "Mega Leech", when he received a call from Miss Bustier, Roger Raincomprix was quick to inquire about his daughter's wellbeing.
He likely knew that Sabrina and Chloé were friends but Sabrina didn't tell him that she took part in Chloé's bullying of several other students especially Marinette. Probably also because Sabrina knew what her father would say or do if he knew telling Sabrina to end her friendship with Chloé immediately or confront Chloé's father about her behavior likely risking his job in the process.
In "Daddycop", it is shown that Roger also shows great care for Sabrina. He would become worried with his daughter, thinking that maybe she was struggling to make new friends, something that Sabrina tried to hide by pretending she had a new group of friends. After a distraught Sabrina called him to pick her up and told him no one would become friends with her, his worry and overprotectiveness over her wellbeing causes Roger to be akumatized into Daddycop, who proceeds to force everyone to be Sabrina's friend.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng/Ladybug
In the few instances Roger has interacted with Marinette, he treats her respectfully while still acting professionally. He silently and suspiciously stares at her when she retrieves a pigeon feather at the Trocadéro in "Mr. Pigeon", but he smiles at her after she leaves. Also, he defies André's orders to search Marinette for Chloé's bracelet in "Rogercop", as he firmly believes in not breaking the law and jumping to conclusions without solid evidence.

Roger and Ladybug arguing about Cat Noir's innocence.
With Ladybug, Roger appreciates her and Cat Noir's work as long as they don't cause any trouble for the public or the police. In "Stoneheart", he accuses Ladybug of failing with Stoneheart previously and commands for her and Cat Noir to stay out of the police's way. The police officer and superhero also disagree about Cat Noir's innocence in "Copycat". Although stubborn at times with Ladybug, he knows that she truly cares about protecting Paris. In particular situations, he openly wants her and Cat Noir to save him and others, like when he and other police officers get captured by the titular villain in "Mr. Pigeon". Also, he sometimes shows pure gratitude towards her and her heroics, including when she destroys Hawk Moth's Akuma projection in "Stoneheart" and when her Miraculous Ladybug returns the Mona Lisa in "Copycat".
In "Frightningale", he apparently admires Ladybug enough that he auditions for the role of Ladybug in Clara Nightingale's music video, though he doesn't get the part.
As Rogercop, he sees Ladybug and Cat Noir as being no longer needed to protect Paris. It takes a little time before he starts thinking of them as lawbreakers, as once he replaces André as the head power of Paris, he declares Ladybug and Cat Noir as fugitives.
Adrien Agreste/Cat Noir
Roger doesn't know Adrien personally, however because he knows that Sabrina sees him as a friend, he determinedly searches for him with her in "Santa Claws".

Roger trapping Cat Noir after deceiving him.
Rogercop feels the same about Cat Noir as he does with Ladybug, liking their heroics while not being troublesome to Parisians and the police. When Copycat impersonates Cat Noir and steals the Mona Lisa in the episode of the same name, Roger firmly believes that Cat Noir is the culprit, leading the superhero into a trap, but after the real culprit was deakumatized he started to be nice to Cat Noir again as seen in later episodes.
André Bourgeois

André firing Roger.
Roger respects and serves André, but he doesn't agree with André's impulsive orders that go against the law. Despite André commanding him to search Marinette, even stressing his authority as mayor, Roger stands his ground on not disobeying the law. While being Rogercop, he goes after André and blackmails him with his daughter so André will give Rogercop authority over Paris. After he is returned to normal, Roger gets promoted by André for finding Chloé's bracelet, and Roger thanks him, saying he is proud to be on the police force.
