Rory Regan's father

"That's conjecture." —Nate Heywood[src] The subject of this article has never been given an official name. Unless one is revealed, this conjectural title will be used.

"Last week, you told Oliver that you had joined the team to honor your father. When you quit... I wanted to find out more about what you were giving up. Your father was a Gulf War veteran, 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, but that's not what made him a hero, was it?"
"No."
"He wore your rags, his father before him, whose name was also Rory. That's a big legacy to live up to."

—Felicity Smoak and Rory Regan^[src]
