Bob's Personality

“I should be grateful to him, right? O-Oh look at the time! I’m going to be late...so very late…”

Bob is, at xer core, nowhere near as heartless and cold as xer king. However, being underneath the rule of King Xymar has certainly left quite the effect on xem. They seem to believe that they are always running late, even if they have said even moments prior that everything is on schedule. You would only know this if being addressed by Bob, though; Bob is mute, and elects to communicate solely through telepathy. It is rumored that they are actually capable of speech, but this has never been publicly observed in xer many years of service.

Xer motives are questionable and enigmatic at best, never really showing their entire hand even to xer king. As the royal advisor of House Duskmaire, it falls to xem to oversee day to day affairs in the kingdom– but more often than not this boils down to Bob avoiding King Xymar as they are liable to change their demands on a whim, something that Bob seems keen on avoiding. Despite this, Bob seems to be mostly grateful for the position granted to xem by Xymar, and considers this task of finishing jobs before the king can change his mind to simply be part of xer role as advisor. From tending to the dungeon to addressing the public on behalf of his cruel, insane ruler, Bob doesn’t have terribly much downtime and often skips eating and sleeping just to make sure xe has enough time to finish xer ‘chore list’.

While Bob is often seen busy and rarely stopping to chat, there are rare lapses in xer work ethic where one can see the more ‘human’ side to the Espeon. These usually occur in the dead of night or early morning, where xer appears to be more exhausted and willing to chit-chat with prisoners in House Duskmaire’s dungeon. It turns out they feel a great deal of guilt for the prisoners kept in the dungeon, though they never act upon it. It's an internal conflict of sorts for Bob, as they seem quite aware that Xymar is in the wrong and needs to be stopped, but at the same time refuses to break xer loyalty no matter how bad things get.

After all, when a life of servitude to your king is all you’ve ever known, why would you want to break the status quo and betray your kingdom..?
