He was portrayed by Chad E. Donella, who also played Greg Arkin in Smallville.
Biography[]
All about Rob's past is an enigma. He was a strange, bald mutant creature that lived in Costa Mesa, California, being an employee at the fast food chain restaurants, Lucky Boy. He used several prosthetics and cosmetics to hide his true face to the world, but Rob had an strange obsession with tasting human brains. Rob actually wanted to have a normal life, and began watching motivational videos and going to therapy to suppress his homicidal obsession, but it was all in vain.
One night, Robert had run amuck and killed the costumer Donald Edward Pankow at Lucky Boy's. This strange murder case dragged Mulder and Scully's attention due to the fact that the victim was drained completely of his brain thanks to a strange hole in the head.
Feeling regret of what he did, Robert found comfort in his psychiatrist Dr. Mindy Rinehart because he thought she was the only person on Earth that could comprehend him even if she didn't know his true colors.
Rob did all on his biding to suppress his urges for brains, until one night he was blackmailed by his co-worker Derwood Spinks, that found Robert's pills in the crime scene. Scared, Rob decides to take revenge on Derwood and murdered him in his own house, using his extremely sharp, proboscide tongue that he uses to drain the brains out of the skull of his victims.
However, agents Mulder and Scullly were close in discovering Robert's scheme and decides to leave town, but is stopped by Dr. Rinehart. They both argue about Robert's culinary urges while Rinehart tries to make him to not leave, but suddenly he mentioned that Robert was the one before the killings.
Feeling betrayed, and realizing that police was outside his house, Robert gets angry and showed his true appearance to Rinehart, attempting to kill her.
However, instead of fear, Rinehart felt pity for Rob, realizing the pain and humiliation he was exposed to. When Mulder and Scully arrive to the scene, they found an undisguised Rob attempting to hurt Rinehart, and force him to surrender.
Having realized that he couldn't fight his urges anymore and that he will always be a slave to them, Rob committed suicide by cop by running menacingly towards Mulder. Feeling redeemed, Roberts said his final words before passing away with a smile on his face, happy that he wouldn't have to deal with his cursed hunger again.
