Roman Roy

Age: 36 years old Eyes: green Background: He was nicknamed Romulus by his father, after the founder and first king of Rome. It's implied that, during his childhood, Roman was the target of most of his father's physical abuse. Towards the end of the series, Kendall confronts Logan about this, but Roman rebuts by saying, "No. I mean, everyone hit me. I'm f**king annoying." He was once, or frequently, locked in a dog cage and given "dog food" as a child. His brothers insist that he asked to be put in the cage and enjoyed it, though he remembers being unwilling. Roman began wetting the bed after this incident, which he believes to be the reason he was sent to military school. Connor, however, confirms that Roman was sent away because Logan viewed him as the "weaker dog." Roman previously worked for Waystar in California alongside Frank, before being relocated to New York. Personality: Roman Roy is a snarky and scrappy individual who thrives on both his own humiliation and that of others. Roman frequently belittles and is crude to those beneath him. Underneath this brash exterior, however, is a deep insecurity brought on by his father, bleeding into both his work and personal, sexual life. He eventually becomes more tactical, using the methods of bullying learned from his father to secure major business deals for the company. Despite this, Roman's immaturity may still cost him a seat at his father's table. He has a great difficulty in engaging sexual behaviors, and likes to make people uncomfortable with sexual tone jokes. He also cusses a lot when he speaks. Relationships: Logan Roy --> Similarly to his siblings, Roman had an unhealthy and abusive relationship with Logan. It is implied that Logan violently abused him during his childhood, but he still loves him blindly. His siblings --> Roman maintains a close relationship with all of his siblings, although the bond often becomes strained as he competes with them for the CEO position. It is implied that Connor, the oldest of Logan’s children, acted as a sort of father figure to Roman growing up. For example, Roman tells the press about a childhood memory in which he went fishing with his dad, but it is later revealed that Connor was the one who actually took him on the trip. Roman is also close with his sister, Shiv. Despite his frequent attempts to provoke or bicker with her, it is implied that Roman genuinely cares for her. When it comes to Kendall, the oldest, they're always competing to get the CEO chair.
