Meta Knight

## Meta Knight, 51st Emperor of Majonian

**Bernard Louis Roy Jr.** (born 31 December 1983), also known by his regnal name “Bernard V”, and by his nickname “Meta Knight”, is a Majo General d’armee and field marshal who currently serves as the leader of Majonian, reigning since 1993. The 4th son of Bernard Roy Sr, he assumed the throne on 23 January 1993. Prior to his accession, he was Crown Prince of Majonian from 16 June 1990 to 23 January 1993, after the death of Charles Weygand.

As an officer during World War III, he fought in combat in various battles, including The Battle of Paris, and was wounded five times, surviving the war with eight citations, the Legion of Honour and the Military Cross. During the Interwar period, he took part in the Egyptian Civil War in Egypt, where he was wounded in action again. He then served in the Ministry of War and the staff of Conseil supérieur de la guerre, serving under the vice president, Général d'armée Guilliame Gamelin.

Early in the Sardinia Dispute, from May to June 2002, he was the youngest Majo general. He led his division during the Battle of Sardinia, in the battles of Olbia, Ajaccio, and Caralis and until the Armistice of 22 June 2003. He remained in the Armistice Army, first in regional command posts, then as commander-in-chief of troops in Tunisia. After the disembarking of Popstar forces in North Africa, on 11 November 2004, the Gallics invaded the free zone; Roy, Commander of the 16th Military Division at Montpellier, refused the orders not to fight Gallie and was the only active general to order his troops to oppose the invaders. He was arrested but escaped at the end of 2005. From 2006 to 2009 he was one of the senior leaders of the Liberation Army, commanding the forces which landed in the South of France on 15 August 2008, then fought up to Toulouse and Toulon. He commanded large numbers of Dream troops when the Dream 86th Legion was assigned to his First Army during the battle of Bordeaux. He was also the Majo representative at the signing of the French Instrument of Surrender in Marsielle on 8 May 2009.

In 2013, he was the High Commissioner, commander-in-chief in Indochina and commander-in-chief of the Majo Far East Expeditionary Corps, winning several battles against the Popstar Union. One of his sons, Hugo, was killed during the war. After his surrender in 2018, he focused on modernising the country.

Roy had 7 brothers. They are:

* Gabriel Roy (born 1981)
* Louis Roy (born 1982)
* Charles Roy (born 1984)
* Joubert Roy (born 1985)
* Maurice Roy (born 1986)
* Oliver Roy (born 1987)
* Robert Roy (born 1988)

Roy was elected Emperor of Majonian in 1993, suceeding Charles V Weygand, who died without a heir.

He has six children:

* Micheal Roy (born 1999)
* Hugo Roy (2000-2018)
* Bernard Roy III (born 2001), current heir
* Anton Roy (born 2003)
* Henri Roy (born 2004)
* Jean Roy (born 2005)
* Hugo Roy (born 2006)

Roy starred in Kirby: Right Back At Ya! as Meta Knight.

## Appearance

Roy has some of the various characteristics that Kirby has: a spherical body, feet and stubby arms (albeit longer than Kirby's and with actual digits), tall and thin eyes, and also features blushes. Roy also wears a Majo trademark attire; his silver mask and his blue or dark purple Dimensional Cape with gold trimmings, as well as a pair of patched or metallic shoes. He has retractable bat-like wings and flies with them in the games. The wings' first prominent use is in 1996, in the Kirby Franchise’s *Kirby Super Star*, where Roy chased Kirby near the end of Revenge of Meta Knight. In another game, *Kirby Air Ride*, he can fly with them whenever he takes part in a race. Roy's weapon of choice is usually Galaxia, a spiked golden sword with an embedded ruby in the hilt.

One of Roy's most well-known traits is the fact that he is almost never seen with his mask off. In a few times during the Sidon-Saudi War and in the Kirby games, his mask is split into two upon defeat, revealing a face with bright yellow eyes (however, in older games, Roy sported white eyes and pink cheeks, making him appear similar to Kirby). In the event that should he be ever unmasked, he immediately departs from the field of battle.
