'''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.

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 [[Rude]] 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 [[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.

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 [[Devias]] and [[Leygance]] 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 Leygance 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 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 [[Arcard]] 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 Arcard, 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 Arcard fled the Isles, defeating a dragon left behind to defend the capital by the Bernese commander [[Freya]].

Upon capturing Jutes, Roy received news that a coup d'état had broken out in Etruria, under the leadership of Roartz and Arcard.  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 Freya; 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.

The collapse of their coup d'état forced Roartz and Arcard 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 Arcard - 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.

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.

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 {{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.

A fire-channeling strike which can be charged for up to five seconds to deal a more powerful blow; if left to charge for too long, it will deal damage to Roy. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Shield Breaker|Shield Breaker]] with added fire effects.
* '''[[smashwiki:Double-Edge Dance|Double-Edge Dance]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|マーベラスコンビネーション|Māberasukonbinēshon}} ''Marvelous Combination''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Side special move|side special move]]. A combination of four sword strikes, which attack in different directions depending on which way the analog stick is pointed for each swipe. The fourth strike, as well as the third if downward, sets his sword ablaze and deals fire damage. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dancing Blade|Dancing Blade]], with which it shares its Japanese name.
* '''[[smashwiki:Blazer|Blazer]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|ブレイザー|Bureizā}} ''Blazer''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Up special move|up special move]]. A sweeping upward strike which carries Roy into the air with his sword ablaze; can be used as a recovery move to try and climb back onto a stage if Roy falls off. A clone of Marth's [[smashwiki:Dolphin Slash|Dolphin Slash]] with added fire effects.
* '''[[Counter]]''' (Japanese: {{hover|カウンター|Kauntā}} ''Counter''): Roy's [[smashwiki:Down special move|down special move]]. Roy assumes a brief defensive stance and will retaliate if struck in this stance, cancelling the foe's attack and dealing to the foe 1.5x the damage Roy would have sustained.

* 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.
