Bobby Barrows

**Bobby Barrows** is one of the antagonists of the survival horror video game Clock Tower.

## Background

Mary Barrows gave birth to a pair of twins, Bobby and Dan, with the help of Dr. Walter Simpson, in November 1986. However, they were not normal twins. The children were ill, their bodies deformed. They should have died of their afflictions, but they did not. And, most horrifically, they devoured Dr. Simpson's right hand when they were born. Walter immediately discovered that the children were demons, and thought that they should have died. As a result, Mary had Dr. Simpson sealed in a padded room that was intended for her, where he died three days later of suffocation. On September 14, 1995, Mary Barrows would adopt 4 girls—Jennifer Simpson, Laura Harrington, Anne, and Lotte—from the Granite Orphanage and bring them to the Barrows Mansion. Bobby—now 8 years old—would attack the girls there, wielding a huge pair of scissors to deadly effect as he hunted them through the mansion.

## Stats

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Invulnerability:** Due to the time distortions that exist within Clock Tower, he is invulnerable to physical trauma. This, however, would change as soon as time resumes to its normal pace.
* **Teleportation:** Within the Barrows Mansion, he is able to freely teleport between rooms. Seems to have a limit, as he doesn't always use it when chasing Jennifer.
* **Underwater Breathing:** He has shown the ability to breathe underwater for extended periods of time, such as when he drowned Anne inside a pool.

### Equipment

* **Scissors:** A giant pair of shears, which he uses to kill his victims.
