Studious but sickly, and fifth cousin of Queen Sellandarse, Bob was tapped to be a Royal Scribe at a young age. As he watched his peers grow into powerful warriors, he fell into despondency and eventually to drunkenness. Still capable of doing his job, he was nonetheless mocked by others, who saw him as a joke, right up until the War of the Coop, during which Bob received The Sliver and saved the world. But that was long ago, and few remain who remember that day. Bob has since traded in The Sliver for a broom and dustpan.
