'''Roy''' (ロイ, ''Roi'') is the main character of {{FEFT}}. He is the son of [[Eliwood]], the marquess of [[Pherae]].  

He later becomes the leader of the [[Lycia League|Lycian League]]'s army and the [[Etruria]]n army. He is childhood friends with [[Lilina]] and a milk brother to [[Wolt]].

===Role===

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.  

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, in 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.  

However, once they arrive to 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 him 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.  

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 to [[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, lead by Cecilia herself.  

The help does not come 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. Decided 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.

Having cleared the islands, Roy returns to the mainland after receiving the horrible 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 considered as betrayers to Etruria, Roy pushes forward and conquers Aquleia, managing to avoid a bloodshed in the streets thanks to the Elimine Church's influence.  

After gaining the full support of Etruria's king and generals, Roy renames his forces as the "Etrurian Army" to avoid any more conflicts, and sets off to liberate [[Ilia]] and [[Sacae]]. In both lands, Roy must fight against the traitorous Djutes of Sacae and the mercenaries forces of Ilia, and eventually he frees their main cities and learns more about Zephiel's past and the dragons.

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 Roy's army posess all Divine Weaons and [[Fa]] is alive, Zephiel's sword points 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.

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 [[Sofiya]], 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.

Roy appears in the extended epilogue of ''Blazing Sword'', which takes place five years before the events of ''Fuuin no Tsurugi''. Eliwood goes to Ostia to visit Hector and remember the old times, bringing Roy with him. Here, Roy meets Lilina for the first time, and they strike a fast friendship.

This epilogue was removed in the European versions of the game.

==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>'''Roy:''' I'm not rushing. I won't try anything impossible. But we must move as quickly as we can.<br>'''Cecilia:''' Why?<br>'''Roy:''' The quicker we move, the more people in need we can reach. Right?<br>'''Cecilia:''' ...Yes, that's true.<br>'''Roy:''' We are fighting to win this war. However, if we focus only on winning and ignore those people needing help, is that a true victory?</ref>. 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<ref>'''Roy:''' But I don't think anyone would listen to me if I only keep myself safe and start telling people what to do.<br>'''Lance:''' That's not true!<br>'''Roy:''' I'm not particularly smart, and I don't have much charisma, either. So I have to gain trust by experiencing the pain that everyone else is...</ref>.

Through Lilina and Wolt's conversations about Roy, though, the player can see a different side of him. According to Lilina, Roy is somwewhat clumsy<ref>'''Lilina:''' It's about Roy... What do you think about him?<br>'''Bors:''' Well... I think he has grown splendidly well to be a wise and caring leader to us all.<br>'''Lilina:''' But the Roy I know would have mismatched buttons on his suit, and he wouldn't be able to do one dance step properly... So I always thought I had to take care of him.</ref>. He tends to doubts his competence, heavily relying in Marcus and Merlinus' experience and support, and from what it is seen in Thany's supports, he has trouble keeping himself in good spirits<ref>'''Roy:''' No. I was just thinking that you always seem so...free of worries.<br>'''Thany:''' Hey! ...Are you making fun of me?<br>'''Roy:''' No! I'm envious.<br>'''Thany:''' ...I still think I'm being made fun of.<br>'''Roy:''' No, I'm not making fun of you. You see, I have to always show people that I'm happy and confident because I'm the leader. But I often get depressed or become worried. Oh, I wanted to ask you, is there some kind of tip that you can give me to stay happy like that?</ref>.

Roy values friendship and family greatly. In his supports with Wolt, Roy shows he does not care about their social status, for he sees the archer as a brother and not as a vassal<ref>'''Roy:''' Wolt!<br>'''Wolt:''' Master Roy, is something wrong?<br>'''Roy:''' ...Just call me Roy. We grew up like brothers, you know.</ref>. He maintains a close relationship with Cecilia, his former teacher, and Lilina, his childhood friend, but he is friendly towards new people, such as Sue and Sofiya. He is also not very good at handling women, and he is especially flustered by Lalum's forwardness<ref>'''Lalum:''' Roy...? Are you...trying to avoid me?<br>'''Roy:''' Ah... N-No! Not at all.<br>'''Lalum:''' Yes you are. As soon as I came, you stepped back. You're already prepared to dodge.<br>'''Roy:''' Y-You're imagining things.<br>'''Lalum:''' Your eyes are wandering...<br>'''Roy:''' S-So...</ref>.
