Roy Depape is a fictional character in author Stephen King’s
The Dark Tower series. The youngest member of the Big Coffin Hunters, Depape is also known as the most reckless and least intelligent.
Brought into the group by Eldred Jonas to help with a job in the mining town of Ritzy, Depape was kept on for his accuracy and quickness with his weapon, an old five shooter.
Known for being spiteful, Depape develops a dislike for Sheemie Ruiz, the slow-witted boy who works at the Traveller’s Rest. It is this dislike that leads to the Big Coffin Hunters’ first confrontation with Roland and his mates.
Depape murders Hart Thorin, planting Cuthbert’s Lookout at the scene in an attempt to frame the boys for the crime.
Ambushed in the Bad Grass along with Eldred Jonas, Depape is killed by Cuthbert Allgood.
