'''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.

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}}, {{SSB4}} as downloadable content, and {{SSBU}}.

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.  

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.  

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.

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 (location)|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.  

[[File:Ss fe06 roy and binding blade.png|thumb|right|Roy receiving the [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]].]]

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 (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.

Roy is the [[lord]] character for ''The Binding Blade'', and in every chapter except the [[Beyond Darkness|finale]] he is required to [[Objectives|seize the throne]] to clear the chapter. His death means an automatic Game Over.

Roy is the main character of {{FE6}}. As such, he will be force deployed in every chapter and his death means an instant game over.  

Roy's not the best of units right off the bat: Lance and Alen both are more durable and have higher mobility. He does have weapon advantage in the early levels, which can give him the edge he needs to stay relevant. Roy's growths are pretty high by ''Binding Blade'' standards and he can grow up to be quite potent in the early chapters of the game, especially when using the rapier against armored and cavalry foes. In hard mode, he does suffer a lot from his very low durability and may face death quite a few times.

He will however reach a wall after the Western Isles. Especially in hard mode, Chapter 13 is a huge change of pace that Roy can't keep up with. He'll likely be level 20 or will be soon if you used him a lot, and sadly he doesn't promote until Chapter 22. For most of the game, his only job will be to seize thrones.

When promotion finally happens, his promotion bonuses and the acquisition of the most potent weapon of Elibe make Roy good again for the rest of the game: he will pretty much be as good as any other in chapter 24, and the MVP of chapter 25.

Don't be afraid to use the rapier when the situation calls for it; you get a new shiny one in a chest in chapter 7.

Roy appears briefly in the extended epilogue of ''Fire Emblem'', which takes place five years before the events of ''The Binding Blade''; here, his first meeting with Lilina is depicted. This epilogue is not present in the European version of the game. He is also mentioned in Eliwood's A-rank endings with [[Ninian]], [[Lyn]] and [[Fiora]].

Roy also appears as an enemy in six DLC chapters, and as a neutral unit in ''[[Rogues & Redeemers 1]]'' and ''[[Smash Brethren 1]]''.
