Bio
Early Days
Roberto was secretly married to a young woman in 1901, who, for some unknown reason, committed suicide in 1904. He remarried in 1906 but left his second wife in 1909 after discovering she had been keeping money from him. A few short years later, under watch by locals concerned about his past, he immigrated to the United States in 1915, where he spent a year in New York before moving to Chicago to work as a janitor. When he was fired from that job, he eventually moved to New Prairie.
Living in New Prairie
Roberto met Rachel Filcher in 1916, and the two wed a short time later. Roberto’s first and only child Francis was born later that year. Roberto and Rachel became good friends with the city board members, and when New Prairie became a city in 1918, Roberto was hired to be the official city planner for future layout decisions.
Rachel’s first child Stewart and Roberto regularly disagreed on many topics and would get into heated arguments. The final argument was on a winter night in 1925, when Stewart somehow set the house on fire, and it burned to the ground. Unfortunately, Francis was caught in the fire and perished.
New Farmhouse
Roberto bought a chunk of land a few miles outside of New Prairie and moved there with Rachel in hopes of rebuilding their lives and getting away from the problems they both endured. The two built a rather large farmhouse and happily lived the next five years without any problems.
Death
Roberto was murdered in 1930 by Stewart, now the Dark Killer. Roberto attempted to stop Stewart, but his newfound powers were too much to overcome. Stewart hid the bodies within the house itself, and two months later, the townspeople and police, suspicious of their sudden disappearance, found their bodies.
Roberto is buried in Oak Park Cemetery with his wife Rachel.
