Roy was a petty thief operating in Rainwall with his friends, [[Faylen]] and [[Faylon]]. Roy was told during his childhood that he bore an uncanny resemblance to the Prince of Falena. This angered Roy, who wondered why, if they looked so similar, he had grown up a pauper, and his counterpart a Prince. [[Euram Barows]], seeking to smear the Prince's name after his family had been embarrassed when it was revealed that they had stolen the [[Dawn Rune]], took note of Roy's facial features and offered him a job: to dress up as the Prince and rob the citizens in [[Sable]], a town that supported the Prince. Roy, eager to not only steal massive amounts of loot but also tarnish his doppelganger's name in the process, eagerly agreed. | Roy was a petty thief operating in Rainwall with his friends, [[Faylen]] and [[Faylon]].

Soon after Roy began stealing from the citizens of Sable, | Soon after Roy began stealing from the citizens of Sable, rumors began to spring up about the "Bandit Prince". Using a wig and a copy of the Prince's outfit, many within Sable who saw Roy began to believe that their Prince had indeed turned into a bandit. Even [[Boz Wilde]] and [[Dinn]] could hardly believe their eyes upon seeing the sudden likeness. Boz even cried out the Prince's name, asking what he was doing, upon seeing Roy; this gave the rumors spreading throughout Sable even more legitimacy, and soon the majority of the town shifted opinion on the Prince. | ||
Eventually the Prince himself traveled to Sable in the hopes that if he were to catch his impostor, the people of Sable would realize that he was not a bandit after all. The group eventually cornered Roy at the top of [[Ranro Mountain]]. Confronted, Roy claimed he had done it all for fun, noting that he had enjoyed embarrassing the Prince, whose pampered life Roy felt the prince did not deserve. Incensed by [[Lyon]]'s declaration that he was acting childishly and that the Prince was far more worthy of his life than Roy would ever be, Roy challenged the Prince to a duel, stating that if he lost, Roy would do what he wished, but should Roy prove the victor, he would take over the position of Prince. | Eventually the Prince himself traveled to Sable in the hopes that if he were to catch his impostor, the people of Sable would realize that he was not a bandit after all.
