Robbie Miers

"*Miers! Considering we've crossed a who continent and a half looking for him and five others like him, I've never been so shocked to see anyone in my life.*"
—Malik Bruder, *Payback*

**Robbie Miers** was cloned from a counterfeiter named Brother Juan Antonio Laterna as a result of Project Osiris, a social experiment designed by Felix Hammerstrom and Tamara Dunleavy.

He grew up peacefully in Serenity, New Mexico, believing the lie that it was like everyone else. Robbie was the first to see and be convinced by Eli Frieden, Tori Pritel, Malik Bruder and Amber Laska at Poseidon Resort and Water Park, which is when he first learned of Project Osiris.

Robbie later went to live with internet billionaire Tamara Dunleavy and the ten other Osiris clones in Tamara's mansion. He also attends Jackson Hole High School as a freshman in September at the end of *Payback*.

## Biography

Around 2002, Robbie Miers was born to two unnamed surrogate parents in the town of Serenity, New Mexico.

Shortly after Eli Frieden, Tori Pritel, Amber Laska, Malik Bruder and Hector Amani escaped from Serenity, Robbie was told that the other kids had come down with a bad illness and sent to a hospital in Santa Fe to be cured. He then traveled to the Poseidon Resort and Water Park along with the remaining clones and other residents of Serenity as part of Felix Hammerstrom's plan to hide and prevent them from escaping as well.

In Poseidon, Margaret was photographed by a few investigators Tamara Dunleavy had sent to the water park to ensure that Eli's theory was true and the other clones really had been sent to the Bahamas. Along with Steve Pritel, Tori's surrogate father, Robbie was in the first picture shown.

Malik Bruder was the first to spot Robbie while in Poseidon, slumping down in an inner tube along with Amber Laska so as not to be seen yet himself. When Amber approached him, Robbie looked at her blankly, not recognizing her at first due to the fact that her hair was the complete opposite of what he remembered. However, he spotted Malik, Tori and Eli, connecting the dots and becoming very excited.

Robbie then wanted to bring them to the others to show they were okay, but the other clones denied and told him the entire story of Project Osiris. Robbie's first reaction was laughter, but his eyes widened as he realized they weren't joking. He shoved Malik back and broke away from them, but Malik tackled him underwater for a few seconds. As Robbie flailed, Malik yelled at him for not believing them, but felt sympathy for the other boy. Robbie accused them of being crazy and ranted about how they had been changed by the outside world, ready to get Henry Bruder to help them. However, Hector Amani appeared for the first time and managed to convince him of the truth.

Robbie walked with the other clones as they went to find more of the Osiris subjects, looking stunned as he helped fetch Ben Stastny and Freddie Cinta. While beginning to convince them, Robbie started to realize that a lot of things he was told in Serenity didn't match up now that he was in the outside world. After running towards the edge of Poseidon to escape, Robbie was amazed when Tori mentioned stealing another boat.

When Project Osiris was announced to have officially ended, Robbie was adopted by Tamara Dunleavy and went to live with her, along with the ten other Osiris clones, in Tamara's gigantic mansion located on a ranch near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He was a freshman attending Jackson Hole High School by the end of the trilogy.

## Personality and traits

Robbie is described as being quiet and a little on the shy side. When he first heard about Project Osiris, Robbie's first reaction was laughter, but that soon changed into anger and disbelief. Eventually, after Hector Amani shows up, he reluctantly gave in to the idea. According to Malik, Robbie was the last person he'd ever expect to be "printing funny money".

## Physical description

Robbie Miers has intense burning eyes and a long, pointy nose, which is how he was recognized as Brother Juan Antonio Laterna's clone (as there were no pictures of him as a teenager). Robbie is sturdily built and has curly hair.

## Trivia

* Miers means *peace* in Latvian.
* His DNA donor died in prison in 2010, one of the only criminals in the trilogy known to have died (besides Gus Alabaster and Q. Sinjin Lee).
