Royce Greystone was born to Howard and Annette Greystone. Annette was Royce’s connection to the magical world. A gifted witch in her own right, she was employed as an Auror for the Ministry of Magic. Possessed of a vibrant personality, Annette was the source of energy for the household, fully willing to drag her husband and son out on small adventures and keeping the house lively. By contrast, Howard Greystone was a simple and reserved banker of no magical ability, who was content that he would never truly be apart of his wife’s world and acting as a grounding tether for his wife. Tragedy struck the household when Royce and his father received news that Annette had died while pursuing a suspected dark wizard.

Her surviving family became more withdrawn as a result. Royce’s father became more outwardly focused on his work, wanting to make sure his son was supported properly. Royce himself, grew frustrated with how stagnant he felt his world had become. Magic had been cut form his life along with his mother and he felt her absence more keenly because of it, souring his relationships as he felt more and more directionless without the mother he idolized.

Upon his tenth birthday, a year after his mother’s death, Royce began to set his sights on becoming an Auror himself and follow in his mother’s footsteps. It was something his father hotly contested at first, as his claimed the profession would be too dangerous to allow. But it was only a matter of time before Royce’s magical abilities would become apparent and necessitate attendance at Hogwarts, and Howard Greystone relented on his stance. It was at the train station in London before Royce boarded the Hogwarts Express that Howard presented his son with a parting gift. It was a silver band embedded with a pale green stone. Royce instantly recognized his late mother’s wedding band. It was a final blessing from Howard for his son’s future. Royce would wear the ring around his neck as much as possible to remind him of the dream he would make into a reality.

Royce Greywolfe's trip to Hogwarts was without personal incident, although a chaotic trip across the lake to Hogwarts would unsettle him momentarily, he was fully committed to pursuing his magical education. The Sorting Ceremony would be its own personal proving ground. Armed with the knowledge of his mother being sorted in Slytherin decades prior, Royce wanted to be in the same house as his mother. It was to his dismay that he ended up in the Ravenclaw House instead. Despite wanting a do-over, Royce was aware the Sorting Hat's decision was final, and reluctantly attended the Ravenclaw Table at the Welcoming Feast.
