"I'm sorry I hassled you about bein' gay. If it makes you feel any better, once when I was fifteen at Safety Patrol camp I let my bunkmate blow me."

―Royce Williams, apologizing to Lafayette Reynolds in his final moments.

Royce Allen Williams was a human living in Bon Temps, Louisiana on the HBO original series True Blood. Played by American co-starring actor Caleb Moody, Royce makes his debut on the episode "Sparks Fly Out" in the series' first season. Playing a recurring role through the same season, Royce did not like vampires, such as Eric Northman and killed three of them. He had hip replacement surgery on one of his hips, and was last seen on the episode "Nothing but the Blood", at the beginning of the series' second season.

"Plaisir D'Amour"

When Diane, Liam and Malcolm came into Merlotte's and terrorized the locals, Royce decided to get back at them.

Diane, Liam, Malcolm and the new teenage human town coroner's assistant Neil Jones were killed in the fire.("Plaisir D'Amour")

Royce was in Merlotte's when Eric entered to warn people that crimes against vampires would not go unpunished.
