## Family

### Magnus

Magnus is Robert’s biological father. It is unknown what their relationship was, but he was close to him from the stories he told his children. Robert recalls spending a few farmer's markets with his father as a pup. When he got news from his mother that his father had passed while traveling to a village in Nepal, Robert was devastated. He says he was sad that he didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye. Even though Robert didn’t have a close relationship with his father like his older brother, Eddie, he kept his memory alive by telling his friends and friends stories about him. In the sequel, Robert hung up a portrait of his father on the castle walls.

### Jade

Jade is Robert’s birth mother. Of his brothers, Robert was the closest to his mother. While Eddie and Wolfgang helped their father at work, Robert stayed home to help his mother care for the house. This allowed Robert to bond with his son. Spending time with his mother allowed her to teach her son the importance of family and the power of love. After his father died and Eddie was stranded in the Nepali village, Robert helped comfort his mother as she struggled to cope with Magnus’ passing. Jade’s family values helped Robert form long-lasting relationships with his family and friends. When talking with Hansel after Ralph’s blessing ceremony, Robert says he will be forever grateful for his mother’s love as it allows him to love and pass it down to his descendants. He continues to honor his mother’s memory by sharing her story with the kingdom.

### King Odin

Odin is Robert’s stepfather as he married his mother, Jade. Unlike Wolfgang, who struggled with having Odin as his stepfather, Robert accepted Odin as his father and immediately referred to him as “Dad.” Robert looked up to Odin for his friendly services to the kingdom. This inspired Robert to follow in his stepfather’s footsteps and volunteer after high school. Robert honors his memory by telling people stories about how Odin’s services made life better for countless EverRealmians.

### Eddie

Eddie is Robert’s older brother and the last living blood relative. Since his relationship with Wolfgang was strained, Robert bonded with Eddie when he wasn’t busy helping their father. Because of Eddie’s work, he never spent any time with Robert, but from the stories that he tells Hansel, the two dogs are close. He can recall asking Eddie to bring something nice back when he goes to an overnight farmer’s market with Magnus. After their father died, Robert had no one else in the family (besides his mother) to turn to. Every night he would pray for his brother’s safety and well-being and that someday he would return home. When he does, he gives him the biggest hug.

Years later, Robert and Eddie reunite as adults after Hansel learns from his father that the Mastiff he had been traveling with was Robert’s long-lost brother.

In the end, Robert was relieved that Blacktail’s death was avenged and that he and Dalila could rest peacefully.

### Bloodmoon

During Robert’s years in the palace, he and Bloodmoon were always seen together. Robert helped Bloodmoon run for governor and helped him build a relationship with his future wife, Luna. When their wives were pregnant with their firstborn children, Robert and Bloodmoon were deciding on several boy names for their sons until deciding on Adam and Dwayne. Leaving EverRealm to protect his wife and kids was a hard decision for Robert as he didn’t want to abandon his brothers. While living on Earth for twenty years, Robert said that he missed life on EverRealm and hoped that someday he would be reunited with his brothers. At the film's end, Robert returns home to EverRealm and can reunite with his brothers after being separated for two decades. Bloodmoon and Burnskin greet Robert with a bear hug.

Their relationship growing up in the palace together was described as close. Having shared an interest in alchemy and chemistry, Robert would often ask Burnskin for help on a chemistry assignment and the latter would happily assist him. When Robert got married and started a family of four, Burnskn would happily watch his children when he had to go out of town for a business trip. After Blacktail and Dalila's tragic deaths and Sebastian's disappearance, Robert feared for his children's safety. Sadly, Robert couldn't confide in his brothers and regrets having to leave them behind. While living on Earth for twenty years, Robert said that he missed life on EverRealm and hoped that someday he would be reunited with his brothers. At the film's end, following Wolfgang's defeat, Robert returns home and reunites with his brothers after being separated for two decades. Burnskin and Bloodmoon greet Robert with a big bear hug. Following the return of EverRealm's magic and Hansel's crowning as king, Robert works with Burnskin and Bloodmoon when they deal with EverRealm's political matters. With Blacktail no longer living in the palace, Robert is the second person (first being Bloodmoon) to keep Burnskin's temper in check.

### Dwayne

Dwayne is Robert’s first-born child. Although they have limited interactions in the first film, Robert is close with his son. According to Robert, Dwayne looked like him when he was a pup. Whenever Robert would do work around the palace, Dwayne would volunteer to help, which Robert would happily accept. After seeing Dwayne’s newfound strength on the night of his blessing ceremony, Robert was amazed. As Dwayne grew, Robert helped him with controlling his strength. He was compassionate and understanding when controlling his powers, knowing it isn’t easy to control one’s powers. When reunited with Dwayne after twenty years of separation, he embraces him and his younger siblings. He even expresses how proud he is of his children.

### Sierra

Sierra is Robert’s only daughter, whom he affectionately calls “Daddy’s Little Girl.” Since Sierra’s goal was to become more involved in her kingdom through academics, Robert has supported her with her goal.

It shows Robert happily wrapping his arm around Sierra’s shoulders, showing his pride in his daughter. After being separated from his daughter for several years, Robert embraces her and her brothers after reuniting. Robert is also happy his daughter has found true love in the Deer Guard captain, Kirby.

### Charles

Charles is Robert’s third and middle son. With Dwayne and Sierra busy with their jobs, Robert spent most of his time with Charles. One way Robert and Charles would spend time together is by going on tours through the Chillrock Natural History Museum. The tours gave Charles his interest in Egyptian history and his abilities as a genie after his blessing ceremony. One day, Robert noticed that Charles was attempting to do several things at once and had a breakdown after getting overwhelmed. Robert comforted his son and learned that he was trying to do several things at once because he wanted to be the perfect child. Robert explained to Charles that he’s perfect the way he is, he wouldn’t change anything, and he’s proud of him every day. Robert always provided Charles with patience and compassion, ensuring he felt loved.

It is revealed that Robert was aware of Charles and Hansel’s brotherly problems before they were separated. Before Wolfgang attempted to murder the Pups, Robert hoped that moving to another planet would allow the brothers to repair the rift in their relationship. Fortunately, Robert was happy to see Charles and Hansel’s strengthened bond after reuniting with him. Robert is proud of Charles for being there for his brother.

### Hansel

Hansel is Robert’s youngest son. Robert has a strong relationship with his youngest son. On the day of Hansel’s birth, Robert was struck with awe at how much his youngest child looked like him. With Dwayne and Sierra busy working in the kingdom, Robert spent most of the time with Hansel and Charles. Because of his time with his son, he wanted to make sure Hansel would be taken care of when he was not around, which led him to ask Charles to look after his brother no matter what. Like with his older children, Robert never put any expectations on Hansel and discouraged others from doing so. Whenever the two spent time together, Robert would amaze his son with his magic and tell him stories of how the kingdom came to be. When Hansel was blessed with powerful ice magic on his eighth birthday, Robert was in awe at his son’s magic. He couldn’t help but be so proud of Hansel. That night, Robert learns from the council that Hansel is next in line to rule EverRealm as king due to his powerful magic. Although amazed at the council’s latest vision, he asked the elements not to tell anyone, especially Hansel, about this, as he wants his son to enjoy his childhood and not have kingly responsibilities placed on his shoulders.

During the aftermath of Blacktail and Dalila’s deaths, Robert became concerned about the safety of Hansel and his siblings and wanted to protect them. With Hansel still young and unable to understand what was happening, Robert still provided his son with compassion and understanding. After Wolfgang had attempted to kill the Pups, Robert had to relocate his children to another planet to keep them safe. Because of witness protection rules, Robert couldn’t have contact with his children. Being unable to see Hansel grow into a lovely young man was painful for Robert. Twenty years later, Robert reunites with Hansel. Upon seeing his son after two decades of separation, Robert was on the verge of crying and embraced Hansel. In the scenes where Hansel helps the populace rebuild their destroyed homes and is later crowned EverRealm’s newest king, Robert’s eyes are filled with tears as he has fulfilled his destiny.

Robert and Hansel’s father-son have been strengthened in the sequels and animated series. Hansel always turns to his father when faced with problems with ruling EverRealm and protecting the family. Robert also joins his son on adventures and enjoys hanging out with him and the gang.

### Sebastian

Sebastian is Robert’s first-born nephew, the only son of his stepbrother, Blacktail. It is unknown what their relationship was when they lived in the palace, but the fact that Robert trusts Sebastian to look after his children when absent suggests they’re close. Robert was one of the many relatives that were made aware of Sebastian’s issues with anxiety. One of Sebastian’s anxieties was being heir to the throne, and he hoped that his uncle could help him. Fortunately, for Sebastian’s sake, Robert learned from the council that his son, Hansel, would be heir to the throne. Robert helped comfort Sebastian after the death of his parents but gave his nephew space when he wanted to cope with his grief by himself. When Wolfgang told the family that Sebastian took his life after being overwhelmed by grief, Robert was saddened, believing he lost his stepbrother and supposedly his nephew. This encouraged Robert’s need to protect his children. Twenty years later, Robert learns from Hansel that Wolfgang lied about Sebastian’s death and that he’s alive and back home. Relieved by this, Robert hugs Sebastian when he sees him.

### Kirby

Kirby is Robert’s son-in-law as he married his daughter, Sierra. Although the two had limited interaction in the first film's ending, Robert was happy that Sierra found love in him. In the second film, after Ralph’s blessing, Robert happily chatted with Kirby before going outside to check on Hansel.

### Amber

Amber is Robert’s daughter-in-law as she married his son, Hansel. Robert was the first to see the budding romance between Hansel and Amber when they were pups. Initially, he was against the idea of having the two dogs betrothed because he wanted his son to find love himself. Still, after seeing a vision of Hansel and Amber happily married with children in the future, Robert figured that be all right. Robert’s concerns about Hansel’s future love life were simply out of love as he wanted to make sure Hansel had found someone who loved him so much. When Robert is reintroduced to Amber at the film's end, he pulls her into the group hug, Kirby and the rest of the family.

Robert was able to bond with Marley as the two both had powerful ice magic. The two continued to see each other whenever the rulers of Snowi came for a visit. Robert trusted Marley enough to let him protect his children when Wolfgang threatened them. After reuniting with his children at the end of the film, Robert thanked Marley for raising his children with love and care.

### Council of Elements

The elemental council are close allies of Robert. He met them on the day he met his step siblings and castle servants. As Robert rose in the EverRealmian monarchy, he started to work closely with them. Like the Pups, Robert came to them whenever he needed them to make visions about the kingdom's future. It is unknown what Robert's reaction was when the elementals had left without telling anyone but since he left shortly after, he may of deduced that they had left due to Wolfgang's laws. Although, he was happy to learn that they were all safe and doing well.

Max also described Robert as his wingman since he helped him find love in his future wife, Jessica. After twenty years of separation, Robert happily reunited with Max, and the two mammals resumed their friendship.

## Enemies

### Wolfgang

Wolfgang is Robert’s oldest brother, rival, arch-nemesis, and a threat to Giselle and his children. Since Robert was imbued with magic, his relationship with Wolfgang has been strained. As Wolfgang saw Robert’s skills and success as a challenge, Robert could not bond with his brother. Today, Robert is still unsure why his brother hated him so much. Despite Wolfgang’s treatment towards him, he still considered family because he promised his mother to always look out for his brother. However, Robert’s promise didn’t prevent him from reprimanding Wolfgang’s cruel mistreatment of his wife, stepbrother, and first-born nephew. Robert always feared that his brother would do something to harm him or the family. When Blacktail and Dalila died in a suspicious accident, Robert's fears proved him right. Robert said he was suspicious about Wolfgang being involved with Blacktail’s death. At that point, Robert had to protect his children and was ready to leave EverRealm in a second. In a desperate attempt to get Wolfgang to leave him and his family alone, Robert faked his family’s and his death.

Even though he was safe from Wolfgang, he feared that he would track him down and finish the job with him once and for all. Fortunately, Robert didn’t have to worry about that as Hansel defeated him and told his father that he was no longer in danger. Despite being relieved that Wolfgang was gone, he expressed grief upon learning about his death from Hansel. Robert admitted that Wolfgang let his hunger for power get the best of him, leading to his demise.
