Roper was an employee of the National Security Agency. Using his position, he provided Damian Cray with the codes required to set off American nuclear missiles. He was bribed by Cray to supply him with essential information. However, in the process he was careless and the journalist Edward Pleasure became interested in his affairs. Edward knew about Roper's gambling habit and shadowwed him. Cray became aware of this, and believed Roper to be a traitor.
