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 (Fuuin no Tsurugi)|Galle]] of the [[Wyvern Generals]].  There, he used the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]] entrusted to him by Guinivere to unlock the [[Sword of Seals (weapon)|Sword of Seals]], and was "chosen" by the blade as its new wielder to finish the war. With the Sword of Seals in hand, the Etrurian army stormed the Bern palace, defended by Zephiel himself.  Upon unlocking the throne room with the Sword of Seals, 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.

If all of the Divine Weapons of Elibe came together in the Bern throne room after Zephiel's defeat, Zephiel's former sword, the [[Eckesachs]], reacted to their presence in Roy's army and emitted a light beam pointing to the Dragon Temple, the last bastion of Bern's army and the hiding place of the Demon Dragon, [[Idenn]].  Roy led a final charge on the Dragon Temple, first defeating the final Wyvern General, [[Brunnya]], then invading its interior and learning the true history of [[the Scouring]] from [[Jahn]], the sole surviving true [[Manakete]].  Between Jahn's tale and the concerns of [[Fae]], Roy realized he could not kill Idenn; instead, Hartmut's sword in hand, he resolved to restore Idenn's lost heart.

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


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.

In his debut appearance in any game, Roy is [[smashwiki:Roy (SSBM)|a playable character]] in {{SSBM}}, wielding the Sword of Seals.  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.

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.
