Byron was a powerful trainer who became gym leader of the Canalave City Pokémon Gym. He had a son named [[Roark]] who trained hard to impress him. However, Byron always treated Roark as a child and with low expectations, although he later secretly admitted that part of the reason that they clashed was because Roark had become a man in his own right. Byron had gone as far as to offer a gym leader position to [[Riley]] instead of Roark, which Riley declined so that Roark could have a chance. It is unsure if this offer referred to the Oreburgh Gym before Roark became its leader, or to Canalave for the future whenever Byron might step down. Byron was known for his tough nature and often trained at Iron Island. He even spent part of his daily life living on that island and working with Pokémon to mine for iron ore.

Byron was a powerful trainer who became gym leader of the Canalave City Pokémon Gym. He had a son [[Roark]] who trained hard to impress him. However, Byron always treated Roark as a child and had low expectations from him. This can be shown in how he offered a gym leader position to [[Riley]] that he he declined so that Roark could be considered instead (it is unsure if this refers to the Oreburgh Gym before Roark before it became its leader, or to Canalave in the future after Byron leaves). Byron was known for his tough nature and often trained at Iron Island.

In the fourth generation games, he was challenged by [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]]. He recognized Roark's Oreburgh gym badge on their person and expressed little surprise that Roark had lost a gym battle. After being defeated by the trainer, he commended their strength by giving them the Mine Badge and TM91: Flash Cannon. Byron resolved to train at Iron Island more in order to contend with this new generation of Pokémon trainers. He could later be found at the house on Iron Island after the player's defeat of the Elite Four. There, he would look back at his treatment of Roark over the years with regret, but he chalked that up to father-son relationships always being tricky. He would reward Lucas/Dawn for listening to his rambling by giving them a Steel Coat.

In ''Platinum'', he could also be challenged to rematches at the Battleground on random days. He would also visit the player's villa on random days, saying that he felt out of place at the villa due to all his time living on Iron Island, but did not think that it compared to his son's place. Byron also spoke highly of Riley, considering him to be mystifying as well as having no idea how old he was. In ''Brilliant Diamond''/''Shining Pearl'', he could be challenged to rematches at his gym instead, and he could also appear as an opponent at the Battle Tower during both single and double battles. For double battles, he would be paired up with Roark.

*Byron appears in two episodes of the Pokémon anime's ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, which chronicle [[Red#Other Media|Ash Ketchum]]'s gym battle with him while touching on his relationship with Roark. In the first episode it was shown that he used to be Oreburgh's gym leader before leaving to Canalave due to his interest in fossils, and he was revealed to have truly cared for Roark by having secretly kept a fossil Roark had given him as a child. The second episode depicted Ash's victorious gym battle against Byron.

*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Byron appeared in the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc and acted as the overall leader of the Sinnoh gym leaders. He held a meeting with Roark and the Underground Man early in the arc that later turned out to be about his suspicions of [[Team Galactic]], and he later was beaten by Platinum in a gym battle, which impressed him. He also spent some time protecting [[Professor Rowan]] and Mr. Berlitz, and he later had to reluctantly call in [[Volkner]] as his last resort to train Platinum, [[Maylene]] and [[Candice]] after they lost to Team Galactic. Byron and his family later dug a tunnel through Mt. Coronet allowing himself and the other gym leaders to attack Team Galactic at Spear Pillar.
