=== Still Wakes the Deep ===
Roy is introduced in the kitchen, where he offers reassurance and advice to Caz regarding his divorce. Greeting him warmly as an old friend, Roy tries to comfort Caz by expressing his belief that Suze will come around eventually. He acknowledges the difficulties Caz is facing, mentioning the familiar sound of Davey Rennick and remarking that it's no surprise given the situation. Roy also brings up Caz's past actions, suggesting that considering the consequences earlier might have helped. He advises Caz to face the situation head-on, even if it means dealing with the police, and reassures him with a blend of practical advice and spiritual comfort, emphasizing that "The lord loves you mate, no matter what, and I'm pretty sure Suze does too."
After the event, Roy is seen again when Caz makes his way back to the kitchen. They both hide in the kitchen as Roy asks what is going on. Caz explains the situation, mentioning that people are dead and detailing the severity of the threat they face. During their conversation, Roy reveals he saw something on the deck, despite his fear, Roy agrees to Caz's plan to head to the lifeboats. Roy reassures Caz that he will stay in the kitchen and pray. Before Caz leaves, Roy expresses his trust and fear, making sure Caz won't abandon him.
Once Caz returns, he finds Roy in a bad state due to his lack of insulin. Caz explains that the lifeboats are now unusable. Roy starts feeling the effects of his lack of insuline, and tells Caz about it. Despite the severity of the situation, Roy tries to lighten the mood with humor but despite his humor, it's clear that Roy is struggling. Caz promises Roy that he will get to the evacuation helicopter and wait for him. Determined to do his part, Roy insists, he is not useless and that he can get there. He also asks Caz to tell Archie to radio in the support ship to get all the help they can get. Roy then says he will grab his insulin before heading to the evacuation helicopter so that they can both escape. After this exchange, Roy is not seen for a while as he sets off to find his insulin.
Roy and Caz share a moment on the phone later. Roy is relieved to hear from Caz. He inquires about the situation and Caz explains the failed attempt to evacuate, leading Roy to express concern. Despite the dire circumstances, Roy maintains his supportive nature and tries to reassure Caz. As their conversation continues, Roy insists he can find his insuline himself and urges Caz to find a way back home. Roy ends the call with a heartfelt farewell saying he prays for Caz.
After Caz finishes fixing the pontoons, he receives a desperate call from Roy revealing his dire situation. Tragically, after surviving an encounter with the infected Trots, Caz discovers that Roy has died on the rooftop from diabetic ketoacidosis due to his lack of access to insulin.
== Appearance ==
Roy is bald, wears a white shirt, a blue plaid apron tied around the waist, black pants, white sneakers, a towel on the right shoulder, and a spoon in the left breast pocket.
== Personality ==
Roy is usually warm and conforting with everyone, especially his best friend Caz whom he supports throughout his marital issues. He was even willing to give Caz a job offshore to help him escape the authorities. Roy also interacts with Dobbie in a light-hearted manner. When Dobbie informs him about Trots placing his insulin in his cabin, Roy responds with gratitude, calling it a "lovely job" and humorously blessing Trot's "little communist socks.".
Throughout the game, it is clear, he uses humor as a coping mechanism, however, Roy's anxiety surfaces sometimes, most notably when he makes Caz promise not to leave him behind, nervously stating, "Caz, ummm ... Y-you won't ... leave me ... It's bloody ... Terrifying out there." He further confesses, "I-I wouldn't blame you, if you did, mate ...". He also shows concern about the other crew members when he learns people have died during the initial contact with the creature and when the helicopter crashes.
