Like his brothers, Roy often speaks collectively, using terms like "we" or "us" instead of referring to himself in the first or third person. He also enjoys devouring the lives and memories of his opponents, similar to Rye and Rui. However, unlike his brothers, Roy doesn't care specifically about what he eats. As a representative of Bizarre Food, he has no preferences and craves and loves all people equally, so he desires to devour every last person in the world. Because of this, he doesn't share Rye's exacting standards regarding his meals; he lacks his brother's meticulousness in determining the value of his opponents or their particular likes and dislikes.
When he began devouring his enemies, he placed his hopes on the possibility that one day one of their "dishes" might fill him and allow him to find his own way to satisfy his hunger, just as his brothers had found theirs. However, failing to find the food he craved, he often ended up feeling discouraged, dejected, and disappointed. Because of this, he didn't place much importance on the quality of his meals or whom he devoured, which drew considerable criticism from his brothers. It was also for this reason that he kept one of the Black Serpent's heads hidden, as it could immobilize its prey without killing them, allowing him to devour their names and memories. He was even willing to unleash the Serpent in densely populated areas to accomplish this. Realizing that perhaps his hunger could never be satiated, Roy concluded that, more than satisfying his appetite, what he truly desired was to experience a genuine sense of being alive. This gave him a genuine purpose for devouring his enemies. Roy began to feel grateful for all the names and memories he had devoured, thinking that no "ingredient" was useless and every food item had value.

Even when faced with powerful enemies he cannot devour, he is willing to temporarily abandon his desire to consume them and push his life to the limit, fighting with everything at his disposal, even if it means expelling some of his past meals or burning his own soul.
Unlike Rye, who preferred to flee or postpone a meal to prioritize her own survival, Roy believes that if he lets someone escape, he may never have another chance to devour them. He considers that meal lost forever due to the high probability that they will never meet again.
Furthermore, he believes that not giving his all would be disrespectful to an enemy who fought to the utmost to confront him. He believes that unless he dedicates his entire being to what he desires, he cannot truly express love, an ideology he shares with his "Mother."
He also seems to enjoy the combat itself, even going so far as to decide not to heal his wounds in order to concentrate on attacking, even if it means consuming his own life force.

Roy is a young man with dark skin and a slender build. He has striking, bright green eyes and is often seen smiling; a wide smile that reveals sharp, pointed teeth. His hair is long, straight, and dark brown, with two strands that fall on either side of his face and end in tips dyed a reddish hue similar to wine. At the back, his hair is gathered in a low braid shaped like a scorpion's tail, also ending in a reddish color.
He wears a long, dark green, oriental-inspired tunic with a high mandarin collar and gold trim and closures at the chest. The sleeves are wide and end in grayish-white cuffs. The garment has a worn appearance, with the bottom hem frayed in several places and wide side slits. Underneath, he wears dark gray or black tights or leggings, the ankles of which are also frayed. He is completely barefoot.

Due to the Gluttony siblings' young age, it is presumed they were born less than two decades before the story begins. While much of Roy's past is unknown, the youngest of the Gluttony triplets, Rui, died in utero, and according to him, his biological father and Rye's father died shortly after their birth, taking his sister with them. He also once mentioned to someone else that his adoptive father would be incompatible with them. Sometime after coming into contact with the Gluttony Warlock Factor, Roy first met his younger sister, Rui Arneb, when she possessed Rye's body. He later gained access to Eclipse after discovering it with Rye and began using it to devour as many people as he desired.

Due to his vast array of abilities granted by his Authority, Roy is one of the most skilled martial artists in the world, capable of fighting and overpowering most warriors through a wide variety of physical techniques, magic, and other similar abilities, along with his Authority, which also allows him to instantly defeat any number of powerful warriors simply by touching them and knowing their names. What makes him even more dangerous is that, due to the unique nature of his Authority, he went completely unnoticed until his ability was recognized after the events of Arc 3, meaning that not only was he strong, but he was also more than capable of escaping his enemies without anyone realizing who or what he was. Furthermore, unlike his brother, his level of danger is exacerbated by the indiscriminate nature of his view regarding his food.

Gluttony (暴食, Bōshoku): Roy can devour his opponent's name and memories. To devour a name, he touches it with his left hand and then licks the palm of that same hand. Things like experience, talent, and likes and dislikes in human relationships serve as sustenance, allowing him to draw upon any skills or memories his opponents possess. He can also choose whether to devour only names, only memories, or both, though he claims it's difficult and like trying to eat only the fillings of a sandwich without removing the bread. However, if Roy devours a false name, or if he attempts to devour the former name of someone who has managed to change it, for example, through marriage or adoption, he suffers severe nausea. Similarly, attempting to devour the name and memories of someone with an excessively large and powerful soul puts Roy at risk of being possessed by that spirit. Even after killing Roy, the names and memories of his victims will not return to their original owners. However, he can regurgitate specific names and memories to disturb those who were once connected to certain people. According to Roy, everything the brothers eat goes to the same Stomach of Souls (魂の胃袋, Tamashī no Ibukuro), from which they can share and extract the same names and memories their brothers have ingested.

• When a name is "devoured", the person whose name was eaten is completely forgotten by everyone, family, friends, acquaintances, lovers, everyone.
• When a person's memory is "eaten up", the person forgets everything they once were, obtaining severe amnesia, losing everything they once were and transforming into a completely different person than they were.
  When both name and memory are "devoured," the person is left like an empty shell that does not age, does not eat, and does not awaken. The person remains alive, but unconscious, incapable of awakening.

Eclipse (蝕, Shoku): Eclipse is considered the trump card of Gluttony. It is divided into two types: Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse.

• Lunar Eclipse (月食, Gesshoku): This technique allows the user to utilize the memories of their victims and extract their skills and knowledge. Roy used Lunar Eclipse to augment his physical strength and speed in his fight against Julius and Ricardo Welkin. Furthermore, Roy could combine any number of memories and skills, allowing him to create any synthesized, high-class technique he desired. However, Roy cannot access the full potential of techniques in this way; he only gains a portion of their power. It is worth noting that by absorbing a person's name and using Lunar Eclipse, Roy does not gain their Divine Protections, spiritual arts, or Authorities.
  Solar Eclipse (日食, Nisshoku): This technique allows the user to extract the names of their victims and transform their appearance accordingly. Rui, for example, transformed into Neiji Lockhart and numerous other victims she and her two brothers had devoured over the years, using her brothers' bodies. By doing so, although limited in the number of techniques he can use, the techniques of those Roy has transformed into can reach their full potential. Roy dislikes using Solar Eclipse because he dislikes the side effects of transforming into his victims, as he feels he loses his identity.

Supreme Palm (絶掌, Zettenohira): Supreme Palm is a powerful palm strike that grants Roy the power to push people back with the force of a car and destroy physical objects like swords simply by colliding with them. It is implied that this ability originally belonged to an individual who claimed to have killed eighty-eight "handsome boys."
Twin Swords Serpent (双剣の蛇, Sō Ken no Hebi): With Twin Swords Serpent, Roy has the technique of using his daggers quickly at high speeds, giving him the ability to direct a flurry of slashes at an opponent.
Carnivorous Beast (肉食獣, Nikushoku-jū): This ability allows Roy to strengthen his body and grants him two advantages: he can withstand powerful attacks and strengthen his limbs to deliver devastating blows that, from Subaru's perspective, would be as devastating as being hit by a car. With it, he could avoid being decapitated by Ram's point-blank wind magic.
King of Fist Palm (拳王の掌, Ken Ō no Tenohira): The King of Fist Palm allows Roy to strike his opponents with an extremely powerful fist, and its destructive force grants him the ability to pierce and cut through steel or flesh.
Jumper (跳躍者, Chōyaku-sha): Jumper allows Roy to use short-range teleportation in rapid succession, essentially letting him "jump" behind his opponents or avoid extremely precise and fast attacks. He is also able to use it vertically, making it appear as if he is flying.
Snow Vallum (雪喰, Yukikui): A technique that allows Roy to increase his physical strength and gripping ability, enabling him to stop the charge or attack of a beast larger than himself.

Just as with his martial prowess, Roy has gained access to numerous magical abilities thanks to absorbing countless names and memories. However, this doesn't increase his mana pool, meaning he might not be able to use spells to their full potential, depending on each spell's mana consumption.
Twilight Mage (逢魔術師, Ōmajutsu-shi): The Twilight Mage grants Roy unique magical abilities, such as manipulating a jet of water into a pair of enormous, serpentine water dragons capable of tearing someone's body apart, or countering the effects of other people's magic by nullifying it with his own. It is implied that this ability originally belonged to an insignificant sorcerer, a social outcast rejected even by his family.
Magia Manus Magister (魔弄師, Ma Rō-shi): A technique that allows Roy to manipulate multiple magical attributes to cast several spells at once, such as simultaneously creating spears of fire, ice, and earth, which had the ability to lock onto a target and fire at it.

Rui claimed that she and her siblings can create life using their Witch Gluttony Factor, just as Daphne created the witch beasts four centuries ago. However, Rui also stated that she and her siblings had no reason to do so, and therefore never acted on the idea. While all of this has been stated strictly by Rui, it's safe to assume that Roy can also create life using his Witch Gluttony Factor.
Since Roy, Rye, and Rui possess the Witch Factor of Gluttony, which once belonged to Daphne, they can direct witch beasts to attack specific areas. This is why the White Whale's attacks were coordinated with those of the Witch Cult. In Arc 6, Rye and Roy manage to reach the Pleiades Watchtower in half a day by controlling the witch beasts in the Augrian Sand Dunes and ordering them to attack the Watchtower. The White Whale, as well as, to some extent, the Great Rabbit, can also obey the will of the wielder of the Factor.

Each of its fingers bears sharp, metallic extensions in shades of black, red, and silver, resembling mechanical claws or small stingers. These pieces considerably lengthen its fingers and are one of the most distinctive features of its appearance.
You can also use two daggers or small swords belonging to the witch's cult.
