'''Roy''' (pronounced {{IPA|ɹɔɪ}}<ref>''Super Smash Bros.'' announcer</ref>; Japanese: {{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.

==Biography==

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.

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.

* At [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade pre-release information|an earlier stage in the development]] of ''The Binding Blade'', Roy had a significantly different and more youthful design. Although his current design replaced this one by the time ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' was released, remnants of the old design can still be seen in his battle and map sprites in the finished version of ''The Binding Blade'', both of which sport his old design's large and distinct hair style.

* In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', unlike every other character, Roy's files and debug menu listings do not reference him specifically: he is instead referred to generically as "EMBLEM" in many places, most prominently the debug menu<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee/Master_Debug_Menu#CHAR_SELECT|title=Super Smash Bros. Melee/Master Debug Menu|site=The Cutting Room Floor|published=2015-03-09|retrieved=2015-03-16}}</ref> and his texture files refer to him with the two-letter codename "Fe", an obvious abbreviation of "Fire Emblem".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://smashboards.com/threads/melee-hacks-and-you-updated-1-7-11.247119/page-2#post-8291198|author=Steelia|title=Guide - Melee, Hacks, and You -- *UPDATED 1/7/11*|site=Smashboards|published=2009-09-03|retrieved=2015-03-16}}</ref> This suggests that Roy was chosen as the Marth clone relatively late in development.
