'''Roy''' (ロイ, ''Roi'') is the main character of {{FE6}}. He is the son of [[Eliwood]], the marquess of [[Pherae]]. On his journey, he becomes the leader of both the [[Lycia League|Lycian League]]'s army and the [[Etruria]]n army. He is childhood friends with [[Lilina]] and a milk brother to [[Wolt]]. Roy's mother, while not known, could possibly be [[Lyn]], [[Fiora]] or [[Ninian]], as all of them have paired endings with Eliwood in {{FE7}}.
'''Roy''' ({{hover|ロイ|Roi}} ''Roy'') is the son of Marquess [[Eliwood]] of [[Lycia]]'s House [[Pherae]]. In the [[Disturbance of Bern]], he was entrusted with the leadership of Pherae's army in opposing the invading Kingdom of [[Bern]] in lieu of Eliwood's illness, later becoming the leader of the Lycian army as a whole following the death of [[Hector]] of [[Ostia]], and ultimately assuming command of the [[Etruria]]n army. He sought to assist Bern's Princess [[Guinivere]] in finding a peaceful resolution to the war, to prevent King [[Zephiel]]'s ambitions of exterminating [[human]]s and returning [[Elibe]] to the rule of [[dragon]]s.


In {{FE13}}, Roy returns as an [[SpotPass|extra]] playable character, and he appears in several [[List of bonus chapters and downloadable content in Fire Emblem: Kakusei|DLC chapters]].
Roy is the [[Lord|main character]] of {{FE6}}, also appearing briefly as a child in the extended epilogue of {{FE7}} and as a [[Bonus units|bonus character]] in {{FE13}}.  He is also a playable character in {{SSBM}}.


=={{FE6}}==
==Biography==
===Role===
{{Spoiler}}
{{Spoiler}}
At the start of the game, Roy is studying in [[Ostia]] under Mage General [[Cecilia]] of [[Etruria]]. Having been called by his father, Roy goes home to find the castle, with Eliwood and Lilina inside, being held by a group of bandits. With the help of some Pheraean knights, Roy takes the castle and rescues those inside.  
===Early life===
Roy was born in the [[Timeline of Elibe|year 985]], five years after his father Eliwood defeated [[Nergal]] at the Dragon's Gate; his mother is not canonically identified, but in the gameplay of ''Fire Emblem'' she can potentially be [[Lyn]], [[Ninian]] or [[Fiora]].  During his upbringing, he was [[wikipedia:Wet nurse|wet-nursed]] by the Pheraen knight [[Rebecca]], and her son [[Wolt]] is considered his [[wikipedia:Sibling#Milk sibling|milk brother]]. At the age of ten, he and Eliwood traveled to [[Ostia]] to meet with [[Hector]], Eliwood's old friend, and Roy was there introduced to Hector's daughter [[Lilina]], and the two became close friends.
 
===The Disturbance of Bern===
Five years afterward, at the onset of the [[Disturbance of Bern]], Roy was in [[Ostia]] studying under the tutelage of [[Cecilia]], the Mage General of [[Etruria]]. During his studies, he was summoned home by Eliwood, who had fallen ill while Lilina was visiting; when he arrived back in Pherae, the region was under siege by a bandit mob led by [[Damas]], with Eliwood and Lilina barricaded inside the castle. With the assistance of his retinue of Pheraen knights, Roy subdued the bandits and reclaimed Pherae.  Once there, he was tasked with leading the Pheraen army to join with the rest of the Lycian armies to oppose Bern's impending threat, owing to Eliwood being too ill to do it himself.  
 
Before heading to [[Araphen]] to join with the rest of the armies, on Eliwood's instruction Roy headed to the Lycia/Bern border to meet with a mercenary band led by [[Deke]], hired by Eliwood to bolster Roy's ranks.  During this meeting, he was approached by [[Elen]], who implored him to save her mistress from captivity in the nearby Bern fortress.  Roy challenged the Bern unit stationed at the castle and its master [[Ruud]] and won, rescuing the noblewoman.  The noblewoman revealed to Roy her identity as [[Guinivere]], the princess of Bern and younger sister of King [[Zephiel]].  Guinivere had fled Bern in the hopes of meeting a Lycian representative in a bid to bring the war to a peaceful end.  Roy agreed to assist her in this goal and allowed her to join his army.


Due to Eliwood's bad health, Roy is to lead Pherae's army against Bern, who has been attacking the Lycia Alliance. Following the ancient tradition, the young man departs to the border, where he is to meet up with a small band of mercenaries who will accompany him to [[Araphen]], the meeting place of the Lycian Alliance. However, on the border he also meets a lady of Bern and her vassal, who were captive inside a castle. The lady is none other than [[Guinevere]], princess of Bern and [[Zephiel|King Zephiel]]'s sister. She had fled her home to try and meet a Lycian noble, so they can find a peaceful solution to this war. Roy agrees to help her and lets them join his army.  
En route to Araphen, news reached Roy that Araphen had already been attacked by a Bern army led by [[Brunnya]] and [[Narcian]], decimating the League's army. By the time he arrived, the bulk of Bern's army had already pulled out, leaving an occupational guard in Araphen; Roy defeated the occupation force, only to find a severely wounded [[Hector]]. Even a warrior of Hector's talent had been overwhelmed by the raw power of [[dragon]]s, Bern's secret weapon, and with his last words Hector warned Roy of the dragons in Bern's service and entrusted him with the leadership of the Lycian army in his stead, then died from his wounds.


[[File:Ss fe06 roy and sword of seals.PNG|thumb|left|Roy in the Temple of Seals.]] However, once they arrive in Araphen, they discover that Bern had already attacked the Alliance, decimating their forces. Roy fights his way inside the castle, only to find a dying [[Hector]]. The leader of the Alliance fought valiantly, but not even he could be a match for Bern's secret weapon, the dragons. With his last breaths, Hector names Roy as the next leader of the Alliance and dies.  
Roy's next destination was Ostia, to recover a weapon capable of fighting dragons and protect Lilina. On his way, he was forced to fight against traitorous Lycian forces who sought an alliance with Bern in light of the imminent collapse of the League. After defeating Lord [[Erik]] of [[Laus]] and the [[Thria]]n advisor [[Wagner]], Roy arrived in Ostia only to find it in the midst of a coup d'etat. A rebellion led by the Ostian knights [[Debias]] and [[Legance]] had seized control of Ostia, allied with Bern and taken Lilina hostage, opposed only by an [[Ilia]]n mercenary band under Hector's employ. With the assistance of the Ilian mercenaries - [[Zelots]], [[Trec]] and [[Noah]] - Roy challenged the rebellion and, for the first time in the city's history, successfully invaded Castle Ostia to defeat Legance and rescue Lilina. His victory was short-lived, however, with the arrival of a Bern unit headed by Narcian, saved at the last minute only by the arrival of Cecilia and [[Perceval]] from Etruria, who placed Lycia under Etrurian protection and drove Narcian out.


Next, Roy is forced to fight against other Lycian lords, who had foreseen the collapse of the Alliance and so decided to side with the most powerful side - Bern. After battling in [[Laus]] and [[Thria]], Roy and his army arrive in [[Ostia]], only to find a full blown revolution. The leaders of the rebellion have even captured Lady [[Lilina]], the heiress to Ostia's throne, planning to use her as a hostage. Roy, with the help of an Ilian mercenary squad, manages to recapture the castle and rescue Lilina, but not fully quell the rebellious forces, who have received the help of Bern's dragon knights. Yet at the last moment, the Etrurian army comes to the rescue, led by Cecilia.  
===The Western Isles expedition===
The Etrurian assistance came with a cost, with the Lycian army - now headed by Roy - indebted to them for their protection.  On Etruria's orders, Roy's army was sent away from Lycia to the [[Western Isles]], an Etrurian colony, to fight the encroaching bandit infestation.  Cecilia informed him that the decision to deploy Roy came not from the Etrurian king or military, but from the Isles' governor [[Arcardo]] and royal advisor [[Roartz]], without anyone else's involvement; Guinivere was left in Cecilia's care during Roy's campaign.  While initially determined to complete his set task as quickly as possible, as he progressed Roy instead learned of the abuse and enslavement of the people of the Isles at the hands of corrupt Etrurian governors, including Arcardo, all to fuel the Etrurian mining industry in the region.  Roy elected to lead the army on a different mission in the Isles: to defeat the Etrurian occupation and free its people, earning the support and aid of mercenaries and the resistance movement led by [[Ekhidna]] along the way, and receiving another advisor: [[Elphin]] of the resistance. At the Isles' capital, Jutes, Roy's army fought a Bernese unit as Arcardo fled the Isles, defeating a dragon left behind to defend the capital by the Bernese commander [[Flaer]].


The help does not come for free, though. Roy must now work for Etruria, and his first mission sends him away from Lycia and to the [[Western Isles]], a colony of Etruria. Determined to resolve the conflict as quickly as possible, Roy instead discovers that some corrupt Etrurian nobles have enslaved the islanders. He even finds a creature of lore in the isles - one of the fabled dragons. Roy's honest nature gains him the help of the Resistance movement, a Etrurian nobleman and some mercenaries.
Upon capturing Jutes, Roy received news that a coup d'état had broken out in Etruria, under the leadership of Roartz and Arcardo.  Of the Etrurian army, only Cecilia has escaped being forced to serve the Revolutionaries and even she was now cornered with Guinivere in a castle in [[Missur]].  When Roy arrived to rescue her, she was confronting King Zephiel himself, who quickly overpowered and defeated her, seizing her castle for himself and finding Guinivere. After Zephiel's departure, Guinivere was to be taken back to Bern by [[Milady]], her bodyguard, but instead the two rejoined Roy's army at Guinivere's insistence. Roy led his army to recapture the castle and save Cecilia, defeating its defender Flaer; at the castle after the battle, he found Cecilia and [[Sophia]], who had been tending to Cecilia's injuries. On Sophia's advice, Roy led his army into the [[Nabata]] desert to find [[Arcadia (place)|Arcadia]], which was under attack by Bern.  Afterward, Roy led a march on [[Aquleia]], the Etrurian capital, and defeated Bern's General [[Narcian]] and freed Etruria from the Revolutionaries' grasp with the assistance of the [[Elimine Church]]'s influence.  


Having cleared the islands, Roy returns to the mainland after receiving the surprising news of a coup d'état in Aquleia, Etruria's capital. The only general who is resisting the rebellious forces, Cecilia, has been cornered and Guinevere is in danger. Roy does not make it in time and Cecilia is defeated, but Guinevere's loyal bodyguard, [[Milady]], comes to the rescue and defects from Bern. Now labeled as betrayers of Etruria, Roy pushes forward and conquers Aquleia, managing to avoid bloodshed in the streets thanks to the [[Elimine Church]]'s influence.  
===Etrurian general===
The collapse of their coup d'état forced Roartz and Arcardo to flee Etruria to find shelter with Bern's army. With King Mordred and the three Etrurian generals now in support of him, the Lycian and Etrurian armies merged into the single "Etrurian Army" with Roy as its commander. The united army's first mission was to liberate [[Ilia]] and [[Sacae]], other nations already conquered by Bern. During the campaign, Roy confronted Roartz and Arcardo - now reluctantly commanding small Bern armies - and challenged traitorous forces within both nations, the Djute tribe of Sacae and a faction of Ilian mercenaries; along the way, Guinivere related to him stories of Zephiel's history, his conflict with their father [[Desmond]] and how those events ultimately twisted him into deep-seated distrust of mankind.


[[File:Ss fe06 roy vs zephiel.PNG|thumb|left|Roy battling Zephiel.]] After gaining the full support of Etruria's king and generals, Roy renames his forces the "Etrurian Army" to avoid any more conflicts, and sets off to liberate [[Ilia]] and [[Sacae]]. Roy meets more enemies in both lands, the traitorous Djutes of Sacae and the mercenary forces of Ilia, but eventually he frees their main cities and learns more about Zephiel's past and the dragons.
With the rest of Elibe free, all that remained was Bern itself.  Roy led the Etrurian army in an attack on the [[Shrine of Seals]], defeating [[Murdock]] and [[Galle (The Binding Blade)|Galle]] of the [[Wyvern Generals]].  There, he used the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] entrusted to him by Guinivere to unlock the [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]], and was "chosen" by the blade as its new wielder to finish the war. With the Binding Blade in hand, the Etrurian army stormed the Bern palace, defended by Zephiel himself.  Upon unlocking the throne room with the Fire Emblem, Roy confronted Zephiel, making one last bid to reason with Zephiel and convince him to end the war.  His efforts at negotiation proved useless with Zephiel determined to stay his course, and in a final battle Zephiel was defeated by Roy and the Etrurian army.


The last part of the campaign takes Roy to Bern itself. After defeating [[Murdock]], Zephiel's most loyal warrior, Roy visits the [[Temple of Seals]] and unearths another piece of the dragons' legend. Bern's last bastion now is its main castle, which is being defended by Zephiel himself. Roy makes a last attempt at understanding Zephiel, but it is useless, and the Etrurian Army kills the king of Bern.  
If all of the Divine Weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, the [[Eckesachs]], reacted to their presence in Roy's army and emitted a light beam pointing to the Dragon Temple, the last bastion of Bern's army and the hiding place of the Demon Dragon, [[Idenn]]. Roy led a final charge on the Dragon Temple, first defeating the final Wyvern General, [[Brunnya]], then invading its interior and learning the true history of [[the Scouring]] from [[Jahn]], the sole surviving true [[Manakete]].  Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of [[Fae]], Roy realized he could not kill Idenn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idenn's lost heart.


If Roy's army posess all Divine Weaons and [[Fae]] is alive, Zephiel's sword points to the location of the Dragon Temple, and with that, Bern's remaining forces. This temple is where the last enemy, the [[Demon Dragon]] lies. Roy must keep fighting, now in their very same sanctuary. After a long and hard battle, Roy finally reaches the Demon Dragon. Yet, after having heard the truth behind the legend of [[The Scouring]], Roy decides not to kill the dragon; instead, brandishing Hartmut's sword, he fights to restore the Dragon's heart.[[File:Ss fe06 roy vs demon dragon.PNG|thumb|right|Roy against the Demon Dragon.]]
With the war over at last, Roy attended the coronation of Guinivere as the new Queen of Bern, then returned to Pherae to rebuild the war-ravaged region. If he reaches an A support with [[Shanna]], [[Sue]], [[Lalum]], [[Cecilia]], or [[Sophia]], he married her and the couple rules together over Pherae. If he reaches an A support with Lilina, the two married and united Lycia into a single kingdom.


Once all is said and done, Roy assists to Guinevere's coronation and returns to Pherae to rebuild the trampled lands. If he reaches an A support with [[Thany]], [[Sue]], [[Lalum]], [[Cecilia]], or [[Sophia]], he marries the girl and the couple rules together over Pherae. If he reaches an A support with Lilina, they marry and later become the monarchs of the new Kingdom of Lycia.

==Personality and character==
==Personality and character==
Roy is a quite competent leader and warrior. Despite his young age, he manages to lead an ever growing army and gain people's trust wherever he goes. Idealistic and loyal, he is commited to protect those in need and fight for the right causes, even if this means fighting against old bonds. He is also understanding of people's desires and reasons, and feels that a victory obtained by sacrificing people is not a true victory.<ref>{{cite|'''Roy:''' I'm not rushing.

Through Lilina and Wolt's conversations about Roy, though, the player can see a different side of him. According to Lilina, Roy is somewhat clumsy.<ref>'''Lilina:''' It's about Roy...

Roy values friendship and family greatly.

[[smashwiki:Roy (SSBM)|Roy]] makes an appearance in the second game of fighting crossover series ''Smash Bros.'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He appears as a "clone" character of [[Marth]], meaning they share many similar attacks and similar poses. Roy's attacks are most powerful the closer the foe is to Roy, and some of Roy's attacks consist of fire upon contact. However, he is often viewed upon as an inferior version of Marth competitively.


When ''Melee'' was being translated for Western audiences, the developers first considered removing Roy and Marth, being unfamiliar characters to American audiences due to no actual other ''Fire Emblem'' line games being released in other countries. However the decision was made to keep Roy and Marth, with the inclusion of Japanese voice acting for both regardless if the language chosen is English. Due to this, fans began to show interest for the ''Fire Emblem'' series and thus began the series' overseas appearances.
In his debut appearance in any game, Roy is [[smashwiki:Roy (SSBM)|a playable character]] in {{SSBM}}, wielding the Binding Blade.  He is unlocked through using [[Marth]] to complete Classic or All-Star Mode without using a continue, or by playing 900 matches in VS Mode. He is a [[smashwiki:Clone|"clone" character]] of Marth, meaning they share many similar attacks and similar poses; compared to Marth, Roy is lighter but slower, his attacks are more powerful the closer the foe is to Roy himself, and some of attacks use fire. In competitive environments, Roy is viewed as inferior to Marth.


His voice actor is [[wikipedia:Jun Fukuyama|Jun Fukuyama]] in all versions of the game.<ref>http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=337</ref>
Roy was originally placed in ''Melee'' at the request of [[Intelligent Systems]] in order to act as a promotion for the then-upcoming {{FE6}}.  During the Japanese development, Marth and Roy were intended to remain exclusive to the Japanese version and be removed from international releases of the game, owing to their then irrelevance to international audiences; however, the localization teams came to like the two and instead chose to leave both characters in the game, both still speaking Japanese to reflect their Japan-only status.<ref>速報スマブラ拳!!: [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0115/index.html ロイ] (Japanese)</ref><ref>速報スマブラ拳!!: [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/1204/index.html マルス] (Japanese)</ref> In the international releases of the game, the positive reception of both characters among international audiences is widely credited as being the catalyst for [[Nintendo]]'s international subsidiaries to commence localizing and releasing future installments in the {{FES}} in the United States, Europe and other nations.

==={{SSBB}}===
In ''Brawl'', Roy was excluded while Marth made a reappearance, likely due to Roy fading away from the ''Fire Emblem'' series at the time. At the same time, [[Ike]], who had recently appeared in {{FE9}} and {{FE10}} was included in the game. Roy is only present in the game as a sticker.
Roy is no longer playable in {{SSBB}}, with [[Ike]] replacing him as the second {{FES}} representative alongside Marth.  While it is possible that Roy was removed due to no longer being relevant as a recent main character of a game, it is also possible that he was intended to be included and was cut solely because of time constraints disallowing him to be finished for a timely release of the game. Through hacking, [[smashwiki:Beta elements#Scrapped characters|unused remnants of character data]] and [[smashwiki:Music (SSBB)#Removed tracks|an empty unused victory fanfare file]] have been found hidden within the game's data, suggesting the latter scenario.


Through hacking, it has been found that [[smashwiki:Beta elements#Scrapped characters|Roy]] might have originally been planned to appear as part of his programming can be found.
Roy's sole representation in the completed game is as a [[smashwiki:Sticker|sticker]].

You have lost faith in humanity and in yourself. I believe in mankind, and I know that your lunacy must be stopped!
— Roy, to Zephiel

Roy (ロイ Roy) is the son of Marquess Eliwood of Lycia's House Pherae. In the Disturbance of Bern, he was entrusted with the leadership of Pherae's army in opposing the invading Kingdom of Bern in lieu of Eliwood's illness, later becoming the leader of the Lycian army as a whole following the death of Hector of Ostia, and ultimately assuming command of the Etrurian army. He sought to assist Bern's Princess Guinivere in finding a peaceful resolution to the war, to prevent King Zephiel's ambitions of exterminating humans and returning Elibe to the rule of dragons.

Roy is the main character of Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, also appearing briefly as a child in the extended epilogue of Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and as a bonus character in Fire Emblem Awakening. He is also a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Biography

Template:Spoiler

Early life

Roy was born in the year 985, five years after his father Eliwood defeated Nergal at the Dragon's Gate; his mother is not canonically identified, but in the gameplay of Fire Emblem she can potentially be Lyn, Ninian or Fiora. During his upbringing, he was wet-nursed by the Pheraen knight Rebecca, and her son Wolt is considered his milk brother. At the age of ten, he and Eliwood traveled to Ostia to meet with Hector, Eliwood's old friend, and Roy was there introduced to Hector's daughter Lilina, and the two became close friends.

The Disturbance of Bern

Five years afterward, at the onset of the Disturbance of Bern, Roy was in Ostia studying under the tutelage of Cecilia, the Mage General of Etruria. During his studies, he was summoned home by Eliwood, who had fallen ill while Lilina was visiting; when he arrived back in Pherae, the region was under siege by a bandit mob led by Damas, with Eliwood and Lilina barricaded inside the castle. With the assistance of his retinue of Pheraen knights, Roy subdued the bandits and reclaimed Pherae. Once there, he was tasked with leading the Pheraen army to join with the rest of the Lycian armies to oppose Bern's impending threat, owing to Eliwood being too ill to do it himself.

Before heading to Araphen to join with the rest of the armies, on Eliwood's instruction Roy headed to the Lycia/Bern border to meet with a mercenary band led by Deke, hired by Eliwood to bolster Roy's ranks. During this meeting, he was approached by Elen, who implored him to save her mistress from captivity in the nearby Bern fortress. Roy challenged the Bern unit stationed at the castle and its master Ruud and won, rescuing the noblewoman. The noblewoman revealed to Roy her identity as Guinivere, the princess of Bern and younger sister of King Zephiel. Guinivere had fled Bern in the hopes of meeting a Lycian representative in a bid to bring the war to a peaceful end. Roy agreed to assist her in this goal and allowed her to join his army.

En route to Araphen, news reached Roy that Araphen had already been attacked by a Bern army led by Brunnya and Narcian, decimating the League's army. By the time he arrived, the bulk of Bern's army had already pulled out, leaving an occupational guard in Araphen; Roy defeated the occupation force, only to find a severely wounded Hector. Even a warrior of Hector's talent had been overwhelmed by the raw power of dragons, Bern's secret weapon, and with his last words Hector warned Roy of the dragons in Bern's service and entrusted him with the leadership of the Lycian army in his stead, then died from his wounds.

Roy's next destination was Ostia, to recover a weapon capable of fighting dragons and protect Lilina. On his way, he was forced to fight against traitorous Lycian forces who sought an alliance with Bern in light of the imminent collapse of the League. After defeating Lord Erik of Laus and the Thrian advisor Wagner, Roy arrived in Ostia only to find it in the midst of a coup d'etat. A rebellion led by the Ostian knights Debias and Legance had seized control of Ostia, allied with Bern and taken Lilina hostage, opposed only by an Ilian mercenary band under Hector's employ. With the assistance of the Ilian mercenaries - Zelots, Trec and Noah - Roy challenged the rebellion and, for the first time in the city's history, successfully invaded Castle Ostia to defeat Legance and rescue Lilina. His victory was short-lived, however, with the arrival of a Bern unit headed by Narcian, saved at the last minute only by the arrival of Cecilia and Perceval from Etruria, who placed Lycia under Etrurian protection and drove Narcian out.

The Western Isles expedition

The Etrurian assistance came with a cost, with the Lycian army - now headed by Roy - indebted to them for their protection. On Etruria's orders, Roy's army was sent away from Lycia to the Western Isles, an Etrurian colony, to fight the encroaching bandit infestation. Cecilia informed him that the decision to deploy Roy came not from the Etrurian king or military, but from the Isles' governor Arcardo and royal advisor Roartz, without anyone else's involvement; Guinivere was left in Cecilia's care during Roy's campaign. While initially determined to complete his set task as quickly as possible, as he progressed Roy instead learned of the abuse and enslavement of the people of the Isles at the hands of corrupt Etrurian governors, including Arcardo, all to fuel the Etrurian mining industry in the region. Roy elected to lead the army on a different mission in the Isles: to defeat the Etrurian occupation and free its people, earning the support and aid of mercenaries and the resistance movement led by Ekhidna along the way, and receiving another advisor: Elphin of the resistance. At the Isles' capital, Jutes, Roy's army fought a Bernese unit as Arcardo fled the Isles, defeating a dragon left behind to defend the capital by the Bernese commander Flaer.

Upon capturing Jutes, Roy received news that a coup d'état had broken out in Etruria, under the leadership of Roartz and Arcardo. Of the Etrurian army, only Cecilia has escaped being forced to serve the Revolutionaries and even she was now cornered with Guinivere in a castle in Missur. When Roy arrived to rescue her, she was confronting King Zephiel himself, who quickly overpowered and defeated her, seizing her castle for himself and finding Guinivere. After Zephiel's departure, Guinivere was to be taken back to Bern by Milady, her bodyguard, but instead the two rejoined Roy's army at Guinivere's insistence. Roy led his army to recapture the castle and save Cecilia, defeating its defender Flaer; at the castle after the battle, he found Cecilia and Sophia, who had been tending to Cecilia's injuries. On Sophia's advice, Roy led his army into the Nabata desert to find Arcadia, which was under attack by Bern. Afterward, Roy led a march on Aquleia, the Etrurian capital, and defeated Bern's General Narcian and freed Etruria from the Revolutionaries' grasp with the assistance of the Elimine Church's influence.

Etrurian general

The collapse of their coup d'état forced Roartz and Arcardo to flee Etruria to find shelter with Bern's army. With King Mordred and the three Etrurian generals now in support of him, the Lycian and Etrurian armies merged into the single "Etrurian Army" with Roy as its commander. The united army's first mission was to liberate Ilia and Sacae, other nations already conquered by Bern. During the campaign, Roy confronted Roartz and Arcardo - now reluctantly commanding small Bern armies - and challenged traitorous forces within both nations, the Djute tribe of Sacae and a faction of Ilian mercenaries; along the way, Guinivere related to him stories of Zephiel's history, his conflict with their father Desmond and how those events ultimately twisted him into deep-seated distrust of mankind.

With the rest of Elibe free, all that remained was Bern itself. Roy led the Etrurian army in an attack on the Shrine of Seals, defeating Murdock and Galle of the Wyvern Generals. There, he used the Fire Emblem entrusted to him by Guinivere to unlock the Binding Blade, and was "chosen" by the blade as its new wielder to finish the war. With the Binding Blade in hand, the Etrurian army stormed the Bern palace, defended by Zephiel himself. Upon unlocking the throne room with the Fire Emblem, Roy confronted Zephiel, making one last bid to reason with Zephiel and convince him to end the war. His efforts at negotiation proved useless with Zephiel determined to stay his course, and in a final battle Zephiel was defeated by Roy and the Etrurian army.

If all of the Divine Weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, the Eckesachs, reacted to their presence in Roy's army and emitted a light beam pointing to the Dragon Temple, the last bastion of Bern's army and the hiding place of the Demon Dragon, Idenn. Roy led a final charge on the Dragon Temple, first defeating the final Wyvern General, Brunnya, then invading its interior and learning the true history of the Scouring from Jahn, the sole surviving true Manakete. Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of Fae, Roy realized he could not kill Idenn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idenn's lost heart.

With the war over at last, Roy attended the coronation of Guinivere as the new Queen of Bern, then returned to Pherae to rebuild the war-ravaged region. If he reaches an A support with Shanna, Sue, Lalum, Cecilia, or Sophia, he married her and the couple rules together over Pherae. If he reaches an A support with Lilina, the two married and united Lycia into a single kingdom.

Personality and character

Roy is a competent leader and warrior. Despite his young age, he manages to lead an ever growing army and gain people's trust wherever he goes. Idealistic and loyal, he is commited to protect those in need and fight for the right causes, even if this means fighting against old bonds. He is also understanding of people's desires and reasons, and feels that a victory obtained by sacrificing people is not a true victory.[3] Although his knights try to keep him away from the front lines, Roy refuses to, stating that the only way he can understand people and fight for them is to experience their hardships.[4]

Through Lilina and Wolt's conversations about Roy, though, the player can see a different side of him. According to Lilina, Roy is somewhat clumsy.[5] He tends to doubt his competence,[4] heavily relying in Marcus and Merlinus' experience and support, and from what it is seen in Shanna's supports, he has trouble keeping himself in good spirits.[6]

Roy values friendship and family greatly. He does not particularly care about the social status of others, and in particular he views Wolt as a brother and not as a vassal.[7] He maintains a close relationship with Cecilia, his former teacher, and Lilina, his childhood friend, but is also friendly towards new people, such as Sue and Sophia. He is also not very good at handling women, and he is especially flustered by Lalum's forwardness.[8]

Endings

Roy, Young Lion
Short: Worked to rebuild Pherae.

Long: Roy returned home to rebuild the lands in Lycia that were ravaged by the war. He was always popular with the people and was well-remembered long after his tenure as Marquess Pherae.

Roy and Shanna
Shanna gave up her life as a pegasus knight and went to Pherae with Roy, where they wed. Rebuilding Lycia was never easy, but her energy always encouraged everyone around her.

Roy and Sue
Sue accompanied Roy to Lycia, where they wed. She could never cast away her love for nature, however, and other nobility found her behavior unusual.

Roy and Lilina
After returning home, Lilina became the Marquess of Ostia, and shortly after, was wed to Roy. Together, Roy and Lilina united Lycia to create the Kingdom of Lycia, a nation blessed with prosperity and harmony.

Roy and Lalum
Lalum accompanied Roy to Pherae where they wed. Many voiced unease about a Lycian marquess marrying a woman of common descent, but in spite of the criticism, they were happy.

Roy and Cecilia
Cecilia accompanied Roy to Pherae where she helped rebuild the battered land. The two eventually wed, and she continued to offer him close support as his wife.

Roy and Sophia
Sophia accompanied Roy to Pherae, where the two married. Despite her quiet nature, her informed decisions assisted greatly in the reconstruction of Lycia.

Other appearances

Roy as he appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

SSB.png This article or section is a short summary of Roy.
SmashWiki features a more in-depth article.

In his debut appearance in any game, Roy is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee, wielding the Binding Blade. He is unlocked through using Marth to complete Classic or All-Star Mode without using a continue, or by playing 900 matches in VS Mode. He is a "clone" character of Marth, meaning they share many similar attacks and similar poses; compared to Marth, Roy is lighter but slower, his attacks are more powerful the closer the foe is to Roy himself, and some of attacks use fire. In competitive environments, Roy is viewed as inferior to Marth.

Roy was originally placed in Melee at the request of Intelligent Systems in order to act as a promotion for the then-upcoming Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade. During the Japanese development, Marth and Roy were intended to remain exclusive to the Japanese version and be removed from international releases of the game, owing to their then irrelevance to international audiences; however, the localization teams came to like the two and instead chose to leave both characters in the game, both still speaking Japanese to reflect their Japan-only status.[9][10] In the international releases of the game, the positive reception of both characters among international audiences is widely credited as being the catalyst for Nintendo's international subsidiaries to commence localizing and releasing future installments in the Fire Emblem series in the United States, Europe and other nations.

Trophies

Roy
SSBM Trophy Roy.png The son of the lord of Pharae Principality, Roy was studying in Ostia when the Kingdom of Bern invaded League of Lycia. His father fell ill at this time, so Roy assumed leadership of Pharae's armies. After his fateful meeting with the Princess Guinevere, his destiny became inextricably linked with the fate of the entire continent. Classic Mode
Roy [Smash]
SSBM Trophy Roy Smash 01.png While Roy's moves are well balanced, he's a little on the slow side,and doesn't excel at midair combat. His blade, the Sword of Seals, gives him excellent reach, and makes his Double-Edge Dance slightly different then Marth's Dancing Blade. When it's fully charged, Roy's destructive Flare Blade delivers an instant KO. Adventure Mode
Roy [Smash]
SSBM Trophy Roy Smash 02.png Roy's blade is different than Marth's: he does the most damage hitting with the center of his sword. So, a fearless advance into the arms of his foe is Roy's best bet. Blazer is a bit slower than Marth's Dolphin Slash, but it's still a mighty attack that sets anyone it strikes aflame. Roy's attack after using Counter differs slightly from Marth's. All-Star Mode

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Roy is no longer playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, with Ike replacing him as the second Fire Emblem series representative alongside Marth. While it is possible that Roy was removed due to no longer being relevant as a recent main character of a game, it is also possible that he was intended to be included and was cut solely because of time constraints disallowing him to be finished for a timely release of the game. Through hacking, unused remnants of character data and an empty unused victory fanfare file have been found hidden within the game's data, suggesting the latter scenario.

Roy's sole representation in the completed game is as a sticker.
