Robert comes from a long line of common farmers, and was conscripted into the Crusader courses heading east to fight. He was forced to help with logistics and hauling goods on the way there, where he was then forced into being one of the first through the breach as battles began. He accumulated a lot of scars in those fights, which now obviously show on his face. Indeed,  Robert returned home to find his family dead, and their farm appropriated. When he tried to sort out what happened, the guard tried to run him off. Robert reacted rather poorly to how he was being treated, and the resulting altercation and its fallout forced him to flee into the Forest, where he joined up with the New Merry Men.

Sir Robert has been worn down by fighting, and is glad to join up with the New Merry Men to help those been held down by the oppression of the local rulers.
