Robert used to be a farmer. A dirt farmer. Not the most glamorous jobs, and given that he farmed his dirt in the least nutrient rich region, not the most useful of jobs. Still, he some how managed to make it by on what he made selling his dirt.

He later discovered, after a taste testing to see just what it was that convinced people that his dirt was worth buying, that his land made people into zombies. After his undeath the necromancer he used to supply drafted him onto the team. He now regularly hangs out with William and Derrick at the bars, letting his new team of zombies run his dirt plantation.
