Roy is one of the most popular characters, even if he was only featured in one game in the series and even if said game was never released outside of Japan. The reason if such success is widely attributable to his presence as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In fact, Roy was inserted in the game (which was released in Japan even before his own game was) solely for promotional reasons. This happened during the final moments of the game's development. Proof of this fact is that Roy's data in the Melee disc is simply stated as a general Fire Emblem character, meaning that he probably was featured for commercial purposes, exchanging himself with another Fire Emblem character that has yet to be disclosed (however, considering the releases in the series at the time, it was most likely that said character would have been Sigurd).
Roy is only fifteen years old when the story of Fūin no Tsurugi 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), however, 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, and it is this encounter (along with his tardy arrival at Araphen to a dying Lord Hector) that will eventually lead him on a journey across Elibe to save the continent from another war between dragons and humans. Roy is also under oath to the dead Lord Hector throughout the game after Chapter 3, in which he promises Hector that he will forever protect Hector's daughter Lilina.
Roy is an upstanding, thoughtful, and idealistic young man who repeatedly shows a desire to help and support others, shown in his interaction with Guinevere and his friend since youth, Lilina. While he would prefer to avoid blood-shed – a fact reflected in his interaction with Guinevere and his tactical efforts to conserve his soldiers – he maintains a strong resolve to see peace return to Elibe. Unlike most young protagonists, however, he is perceptive and cunning for his age – he tricks a traitorous Lycian vassal into exposing himself, deciphers that the bard Elphin (who is in reality the missing Etrurian Prince Mildain) is more than he seems (though he does not pursue the truth against Mildain’s will), and often reacts calmly and tactically to disturbing news.
Roy is also quite oblivious to the obvious feelings that some of the women in the army develop for him (most via support conversations). Lilina in particular is quite smitten with him regardless of the player’s actions, but he never notices this. He can either marry her or several other women on the army (these ladies being the Sacaean Nomad Sue, the Dancer Lalam, the Valkyrie Cecilia, the Pegasus Knight Thany, or the Shaman Sophia) as an alternate ending to the game.
The main lord of the first Fire Emblem game to appear on the game boy advance, Fire Emblem: Fuin no Tsurugi. He bears a striking resemblance to his father Eliwood.

History
Roy is the sole Lord character and protagonist of Fūin no Tsurugi, the first Fire Emblem game to be released on the Game Boy Advance. In the typical tradition of Fire Emblem's Lords, he starts with somewhat shaky base stats, but will soon grow into a high-performance unit. He reaches his secondary class very late in the game, with only four chapters left to go. His promotion to the Master Lord class is triggered, story-wise, by him inserting the Fire Emblem into the hilt and thereby unlocking the Sword of Seals from Shrine of Seals in Bern, then subsequently drawing the blade.Roy is only fifteen years old when the story of Fūin no Tsurugi begins.
