Roy Fokker
Japanese name: Roy Focker
American voice actor: Don Warner
- As a great pilot in Rick Hunter dad's flying circus, Roy Fokker would
eventually enroll himself in the military. During the Global Civil War,
Roy would become known as one of the great pilots of this war, having shot
down many aircraft. During his time at a military base in the U.S., he
would a have the chance to meet Claudia Grant, a new recruit. Roy would
always be trying to impress her; but would be unsuccessful, since he's
late for dates and is constantly passing his off duty time with other ladies.
As the Global Civil War comes to and end, Roy doesn't return to the flying
circus but becomes a test pilot for the Robotech Veritech fighter. Roy
knows that being a test pilot is very dangerous and needs someone to talk
about these things and therefore turns to Claudia for friendship. There
friendship eventually grows to love. As the SDF-1 nears completion he becomes
leader of Skull Squadron and helps a young amateur pilot, by the name of
Rick Hunter to join the military. Seeing that Rick is getting better as
time goes by, Roy gives Rick command of his own flight group called Vermillian
Squadron. One day as Roy is piloting his Skull-1 in battle, he gets caught
in a crossfire and is mortally wounded. Later that night, in Claudia's
quarter's, Roy falls to the ground and dies. His death is a great loss
to everybody, especially to Claudia who loved him and Rick Hunter who always
look up to his "big brother" for advice.
