*CompleteMonster: [[TheEvilPrince Robert Dare]] is the [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] younger brother of King William Dare of Crotheny and one of the key players in the series's BigBadEnsemble. [[ItsAllAboutMe Extremely self-centered]], Robert murdered his twin sister Lesbeth--the only person he felt any affection for--in a fit of jealousy because she [[DisproportionateRetribution got engaged without telling him]], and later took part in a conspiracy to murder his brother and nieces to clear his way to the throne. Killed himself by the dying William, Robert was brought back to an undead state by a curse and picked up where he left off, usurping his sister-in-law Muriele and attempting to rape her, and having a composer brutally tortured for writing an opera that criticized him. When that same composer tried to kill Robert using [[MusicalAssassin cursed music]] that Robert's undead nature left him immune to, he stole the composition so he could use it as a weapon himself. When Robert's youngest niece Anne arrived at the head of an army to reclaim her throne, he tried to kill her under a flag of truce and then fled north to Crotheny's traditional rival, Hansa, where he [[ManipulativeBastard manipulated the aging king]] into declaring a holy war against Anne, with full intention of [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betraying Hansa too]]. When Muriele came north to negotiate peace, Robert killed her using his stolen music.
