Royce is
Claire's butler who is always helping her with tasks. Like all butlers, he was dressed in a suit and tie even though he would be outside doing chores. The day
Ash Ketchum and his friend met him, he was helping
Claire look for her lost Spinda. Max was very impressed with Royce's ability to look at Spinda tracks to determine if they were from "Lucky Spinda" or not.
