Dr. Sebastian Robarts[1] is a character from Heaven's Bones. Manipulated by his "assistant" Trueblood, Robarts is the creator of Robarts' Angels.

Biography

Life and tragedy

Dr. Robarts was married to Margaret Robarts and a resident of London. He also owned a home in St. Agnes in Cornwall, Bryani House that he eventually inherited from his uncle, Yorick. Like Yorick, little Sebastian loved to read the books in Yorick's library. Yorick collected a number of esoteric works during his study of angels and demons, anthropology and religion. Sebastian received a medical degree and established a private medical practice.

In the spring of 1867, tragedy struck the Robarts household. Margaret died while giving birth to their son, Jonathan Robarts. Dr. James Symons, Dr. Robarts' colleague, and his staff, including Bartholomew McPherson, couldn't save mother or child, leaving Dr. Robarts without a family. Desperate for meaning in his grief and anger, Dr. Robarts turned to studying the old and strange books of Bryani House. After Margaret's burial, something within him died, reeling with how perfect yet how fragile God had made Margaret, a veritable angel. Dr. Robarts began to fall apart in regret and grief, and these thoughts began to become twisted. These twisted thoughts began to lead Dr. Robarts down a dark path.

Descent into madness

In the summer of 1867 four months following Margaret's death, Dr. Sebastian Robarts encountered Cherise Daughtery, a streetwalker laden with child. Dr. Robarts thought he could save her from the same fate that took his own wife. After luring her into his home with the seeming intention of propositioning her, Dr. Robarts incapacitated her with a drug and attempted to surgically deliver the child. The surgery was a miserable failure, and both mother and child once again lost their lives. Dr. Robarts left the body on the streets with a couple of gold coins for a respectable burial.[2] Artemis Donovan investigated the murder[3] but never caught the culprit before his superiors in the department redirected his attentions elsewhere.[4]

During the grief over his failure, Dr. Robarts began hearing a disembodied voice of encouragement and scolding for giving up too easily. Progress in saving these weak and fragile angels and breaking the birth-death cycle initiated by the Fall of man would require loss and sacrifice.[5] Unknown to Robarts. the voice of temptation in his head was Trueblood, a then-disembodied entity with its own sinister agenda. Thus manipulated, Dr. Robarts dismissed his servants[6] and succumbed to madness. The Mists surrounded Robarts as he made vowed not to be deterred and dropped the remains of Cherise's internal organs into the Thames River.[7] Soon there were two more women on his operating tables.[8]
