Robert was one of those types of guys who wanted to become a millionaire from a farm boy. Well, he half succeeded that dream of his. He started school at sixteen because he came down with a disease, but that did not stop him. He worked hard day and night on his studies without any distractions. But right when he graduated high-school, his parents left him as an orphan. BUt all hop was not lost! They left him with a reasnoble fortune to go to Westminister college. From then on, he wanted to be a scientist. He worked day and night as he did when he was younger, to prove theories wrong, or even prove some theories himself. News kept on coming and coming with Robert such as "The biggest scientific dispute ever: will Robert and Isaac ever get along?" or "Robert has done it again: he has developed an invention he calls the airgun!'. This kept on going until March 3, 1703 when he died of age.

AND NO HENNA, HE DID NOT HAVE A BEARD
