- "Temenos, I... I can no longer trust the church! You are the only person I can trust, apart from the pontiff. As someone who was lifted up by the pontiff himself, I wish to confide in you." —Roi
Roi is a character in Octopath Traveler II. He is a former inquisitor of the Order of the Sacred Flame, alongside Temenos.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Roi had short brown hair and wore a cleric's outfit similar to Temenos's.
Personality[]
Although Roi receives little time on screen, Temenos describes him as an extremely honest soul who never doubted others. To counterbalance Roi's trusting personality, Temenos grew to question everything. Despite his potential naivete, Roi's devotion to uncovering the truth and destroying the unholy Darkblood Bow testify to his integrity as an inquisitor.
History[]
Roi and Temenos were foundlings adopted together by Pontiff Jörg. At some point during his early life, Roi fell very ill, though he recovered due to his best friend Temenos praying for his recovery. Both friends would eventually follow the path to be clerics, appointed as inquisitors by the pontiff.
An unknown amount of time before the events of the game, Roi met a young Crick Wellsley, a member of a noble family which resorted to stealing and using others as stepping stones to their own success. Roi told Crick that a noble flame burned within him, which led him to join the Order of the Sacred Flame.
Five years before the events of Octopath Traveler II, during his tenure as an inquisitor, Roi came across the Darkblood Bow hidden within the church. He shared this information and his misgivings about the church to Temenos before departing to take care of the bow. At some point, he was caught and killed by the Moonshade Order, and the Darkblood Bow was taken by Petrichor.

Etymology[]
"Roi" is a name of multiple origins, meaning "shepherd" in Hebrew and "ruler" in Gaelic. The former likely reflects Roi's role in the church as a spiritual leader.
Trivia[]
- It is highly implied that the Dark Entity faced in Ochette's first chapter is a transformed Roi, as parts of its dialogue after its defeat match that of what Roi told Temenos during their final meeting before his disappearance.
- Also, during the battle, pieces of what appear to be a cleric's tattered robe are seen near the beast's tail.
