Roy is the former apprentice of Prince Marth of Archanea. Roy had shown promising potential, but unfortunately flew too close to the sun, challenging the legendary Pokémon, Mewtwo and failing to defeat him. However, his death was not in vain, for he died a hero, taking Mewtwo with him into a dark void that sucked them both into it, never to be seen again. Roy is a brave, slightly immature, but loyal swordsman, who can be overconfident sometimes, and can be short fused if he reaches a boiling point of frustration.
