Editing LoGaS-Infinity's Call:RobertStaab (section)

== Background ==
Born from a whirlwind romance that turned sour, Robert grew up raised by his mother. His father was always willing to fulfill his financial requirements, but the lifestyle of a longtime bachelor did not mesh well with familial obligations. His birth certificate has his mother's surname, and there is not much of a paper trail to connect him with his father. It was therefore a complete surprise when Robert was contacted about being an heir to an overseas estate. Robert hadn't seen his father since graduating from high school, and figured the man had drank himself to death long ago.

The last time Robert saw his father, they took a walk around what appeared to be an office building. They took the stairs to the top floor, though the stairwell was...unusual. He listened to his father drone on about being proud of the man Robert turned out to be (though his father had little to do with that) and deliberately kept a neutral face. This wasn't easy, as the doors in the stairwell were of different styles and makes that had little to do with an office building. His father seemed disappointed as the two emerged on the top floor, and Robert was sent away shortly afterward due to a pressing appointment. Robert never heard from him again.

Robert graduated with degrees in finance and communications, then joined an intelligence agency and was 'traveling' for the next two decades. He retired at the end of 2016, and has spent the years since then as the owner of an import/export business. However, his past actions caught up with him more than once, which gave him his first suspicion that there were things about reality that didn't add up. There have been three different attempts on his life, and each time he managed to find a sword behind a door at just the right time to use against his attacker...the '''same''' sword each time. Once he evaded a pursuer by ducking into a stairwell, and the pursuer was gone when he emerged. The last three times he booked a hotel, he took the stairs and found the room to be identical - even though the hotel chains were different. When he received news about an inheritance from his father's family, his curiosity about how it could be linked to these strange events overcame his reluctance.
