Personality[]
Robert seemed to take great pride in his status as a supervillain as well as his villainous family legacy.

Biography[]
Biography[]
Robert came from a long-line of supervillains, who used a pig farm in Freedonia as their cover, and thus became one himself. He established himself as one of the greatest criminals of all time, becoming known as the "Bald Terror". At some point, he married a woman named Marlena and sired twin sons named Felonious and Dru. However, soon after the twins were born, Robert and Marlena went through a bitter divorce, with Robert taking Dru with him while Marlena took Felonious. They also agreed to never let the boys know about the divorce, so Marlena told Gru that his father died of disappointment soon after he was born and never even mentioned Dru.
Robert attempted to groom his son, Dru to become a successful supervillain like himself, only to be ashamed at Dru's incompetence at the work. He was, however, immensely proud of Gru's accomplishments at villainy.
Legacy[]
By the beginning of the third film, Robert had died of unknown causes, leaving Dru to inherit his estate and other belongings. Determined to prove himself other than a failure, Dru sought out his brother, Felonious Gru so that they could become a great villainous duo. However, Gru had reformed and was dedicated to doing good instead, so Dru decided to become his brother's arch-nemesis instead.
Powers & Abilities[]
Robert was a skilled supervillain in life. He had access to many highly advanced gadgets and a specialized vehicle.
