Roy is one of the main protagonists of Nintendo's Fire Embelm franchise.
He is the main protagonist of the Elibe duology, being the main protagonist of the 2002 tactical role-playing video game Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade and a minor character of its 2003 prequel Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He later returns as a supporting character in the 2023 video game Fire Emblem Engage.
He is the leader of the Lycian Alliance, and the son of Eliwood, with his mother being either Lyndis, Fiora, Ninian, or a nameless woman, depending on who Eliwood gained support with in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade or if he had any supports at all.
Roy is also given access to the Sword of Seals, one of the most powerful weapons in The Binding Blade. He is stated in the Hasha No Tsurugi manga to be 15 years old, making him one of the youngest Fire Emblem protagonists.
In Japanese, he is voiced by Jun Fukuyama (who also voiced Lelouch vi Britannia from the Code Geass series, Korosensei from Assassination Classroom, Yukio Okumura from Blue Exorcist, Joker from Persona 5, and Finral Roulacase from Black Clover) and in English, he is voiced by Ray Chase (who also voices Tengen Uzui from Demon Slayer, Bruno Bucciarati from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Alphen from Tales of Arise).
Appearance[]
Like his father Eliwood, he has red-orange hair and blue eyes. He is shown to be wearing a blue shirt with armor with a blue and red cape, white pants, and boots.
Biography[]
Roy is only fifteen years old when the story of The Binding Blade begins. Bern had recently conquered the neighboring nations of Sacae (a vast plains country inhabited by mounted nomadic warriors) and Ilia (an arctic, barren nation famous for its skilled and devoted mercenaries) and had turned its sights to the Lycian League. Following the Lycian code, each province is obligated to send their armies into battle against those who would attack the nation-states; Roy is thus called home from his studies in Ostia to lead Pherae's armies in his ill father's stead.
Along the way to Araphen (the Lycian realm closest to Bern), he meets the errant princess of Bern and sister of King Zephiel, Guinevere, who had escaped from her land in the hopes of negotiating a treaty with Lycian nobility. Roy quickly agrees to her proposal to search for a peaceful means to end Bern’s aggression. This encounter, followed by his tardy arrival at Araphen to a dying Lord Hector, eventually leads him on a journey across Elibe to save the continent from another war between dragons and humans. Roy also swears an oath to Hector in Chapter 3, in which he promises to protect Lilina, Hector's daughter.
Personality[]
Roy is an upstanding, thoughtful, and idealistic young man who repeatedly shows a desire to help and support others, shown in his interactions with Guinevere and Lilina. While he would prefer to avoid bloodshed – a fact reflected in his interactions with Guinevere and his tactical efforts to conserve his soldiers – he maintains a strong resolve to see peace return to Elibe. Roy is also perceptive and cunning for his age; he tricks a traitorous Lycian vassal into exposing himself, discerns that the bard Elphin (who is in reality the missing Etrurian Prince Mildain) is more than he seems, and often reacts calmly and tactically to disturbing news.
Despite his tactical prowess, Roy is also quite oblivious to the obvious feelings that some of the women in the army develop for him, as demonstrated most often in his support conversations. Lilina in particular is quite smitten with him regardless of the player’s actions, but he never notices this.
Other Media[]

Super Smash Bros. series[]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
Roy appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee and, to an extent, makes his first appearance in any video game. He can be unlocked by completing either Classic, Adventure or All-Star Mode as Marth on any difficulty without using continues, or by playing 900 Vs. Matches; he then must be defeated on the Temple stage in order to be unlocked. Roy debuted in this game as an original character before appearing in his home franchise.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Roy did not return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a playable character, but music associated with the character, "Winning Road - Roy's Hope", including data for a character slot, is present in the game. Roy also appears as a sticker.
Super Smash Bros. 4[]
After being absent in Brawl, Roy returns in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U as a playable DLC character. Marth has an alternate costume that resembles Roy's outfit from Melee. Another Roy also appears as an unrelated new character. Music associated with the character, "Winning Road - Roy's Hope", is also present in the game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
Roy returns as an unlockable character with an English voice in the games' international releases for the first time in the series but retains his Japanese voice actor in the Japanese version. As with his previous Melee clone Marth, Roy previously spoke Japanese in all localized releases in Melee and for 3DS/Wii U. Fellow Fire Emblem protagonist Chrom from Fire Emblem Awakening appears as Roy's "echo fighter". His fighter spirit can be obtained by clearing the classic mode with him.
In World of Light, Roy is one of the many fighters that are vaporized by Galeem's beams, despite not appearing in the opening cutscene. Roy's puppet fighter can be found on the light side of the final battle.
Trivia[]
- Before becoming a DLC character for Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U, sound files for Roy's victory theme were found in the 1.0.6 update, and a video of his classic mode ending was later found.
