Having grown up in the Midlands of Aventüria, Robert stayed in Central to continue his education after completing high school.  He enrolled at Central University in TS384 to pursue a major in Theology.  During his time at the University, he fell in love with a young woman by the name of Carol Evans.  He and Carol pledged to marry one another once Carol finished her college education.  Following the wedding, which took place two years later, the couple moved into a house in Smalton to raise a family.  In the fall of TS394, Robert was gifted with his first and only son, Kevin.
