'''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. | '''Roy''' (Japanese: {{hover|ロイ|Roi}} ''Roy'') is the son of Marquess [[Eliwood]] of [[Lycia]]'s House [[Pherae]].

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. | Roy was originally placed in ''Melee'' at the request of [[Intelligent Systems]] in order to act as a promotion for the then-upcoming {{FE6}}.

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. | Roy is no longer playable in {{SSBB}}, with [[Ike]] replacing him as the second {{FES}} representative alongside Marth.

*Roy is the only {{FES}} main character whose father survives the entire course of his starring game. In contrast, most main characters witness their father's death, while [[Marth]], [[Celica]], [[Seliph]], [[Leif]], [[Hector]], [[Lyn]] and [[Chrom]]'s fathers are already dead. | *Roy is the only {{FES}} main character whose father survives the entire course of his starring game.

*Roy and Leif are the youngest lords in the series; in their [[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|main]] [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade|games]], both of them are 15 years old. | *Roy and Leif are the youngest lords in the series; in their [[Fire Emblem: Thracia 776|main]] [[Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade|games]], both of them are 15 years old. | ||
* 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. | |||
