Stance on Muggles: Muggles this, wizards that - Robyn really doesn’t care in which of the two societies he currently dwells. He has made friends from both sides alike and does not fret to play his part to keep both of his identities a secret. Robyn really respects muggles and their head-on approach to solve problems without magic. Their sense for innovation and imagination is something that Robyn considers lacking in the Wizarding World. Wonders have become mundane and Wizards deem themselves invulnerable to uncommon threats, something that makes them less careful who they deal with. Generally, Robyn would rather spend the rest of his days as a muggle author than a wizarding Investigator - but the latter, sadly, is his calling.

BACKSTORY
From birth on, Robyn was known to be the Brimwoods least favorite child. He was always treated with disdain in opposition to his sisters and it definitely took over into his later life. Because his interests often were ignored by his parents or other supervisors, Robyn began to explore and investigate. Learning how the world works and how you can perceive things that others may not.
As the young Ravenclaw began to attend Hogwarts, he hoped that the approach of bystanders towards him would change, that they would respect him and treat him like one of their own. Yet, that hoping was to no avail. The other students avoided Robyn, shut him out and turned him into an outcast. He didn’t have many friends and the ones he had were not quite genuine. Because of this Robyn quickly learnt to recognize dishonesty and deception in someone’s behavior. Friends or not, he excelled at exams in school - which led to him qualifying for the Auror Recruitment Programme.
Three years after completing his training, Robyn was discharged from his Auror position, due to an Incident that occurred during one of his missions.To this day, the investigator avoids talking about what happened or why they held him responsible for what happened.
Nonetheless, this drawback did not stop Robyn from wanting to bring justice to the Wizarding World, therefore he started to become a freelancing Private Investigator, taking on magical cases that all sorts of Magical Ministries are either too arrogant or incompetent for.
TRIVIA
~ What brought Robyn to the conclusion of conducting a freelancing investigator business are the stories of Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle which the detective read during his childhood. He loved the idea of solving mysteries and arresting criminals only with the power of his wit and without some menacing force policing their way through society so he decided to make it his job. While the Ministry of Magic does not approve of his business there is little they can do to stop him. After all, he isn’t a threat or a criminal - just a man doing his job.
~ While he doesn’t show them off, Robyn has gathered a small collection of scars and cuts on his entire skin from his school bullies. Strewn across his body, he uses these wounds of his past as a reminder that he fights for the right thing, that he tries to better the world and rid it of evil creatures like those who hurt others for fun. Therefore Robyn also has a 0% tolerance policy towards huminilation or discrimination.
~ Due to having been neglected as a child and teenager, Robyn has a hard time getting ignored by others or purposely shut out. He will do whatever is in his power to drive views towards him and to keep peoples attention, due to a lack thereof during puberty.
~ Because being a private Investigator is no nine to five job, Robyn began to write and publish stories about cases he would like to pursue, mysteries he would love to solve and puzzles he aches to uncover. Sooner or later muggles got their hands on his books, while some were skeptical, the majority considered them masterpieces of fiction and sent letters to the publishers' post office boxes demanding for more. These publishers then offered Robyn a lucrative job as an author. Due to this offer, Robyn nowadays gets to turn the cases he has solved into fictional novels for the muggles to consume. Quite a fulfilling life in both societies for the Investigator.
