Name: Robert Bishop
Age: 44
Gender: Male
Appearance: Robert stands with an average build at six feet and two inches, with charcoal black hair and very pale, watery blue eyes. He keeps his hair combed neatly with a part on the right and a clean shaven face. At work, typically wears either a black dress shirt with a black tie or a white shirt and a red tie, with black slacks and matching leather shoes. He wears a titanium watch on his left wrist, a gift from his parents for medical school graduation.
Personality Rundown: Robert is a firm believer that doctors should be driven by the thrill of diagnosis, and not altruism: he believes that the altruistic are chasing rainbows and will be too emotionally compromised by their first patient death. He deeply enjoys his work and the challenge it brings, as no two bodies are alike on his slab. And since his job deals with corpses, he is not easily disgusted by mutilation or body fluids. He also enjoys the sensation of meat parting under a sharp edge: sometimes he takes steaks home to cut as he pleases. Robert considers himself disciplined: he does not drink, smoke, or take recreational/illegal drugs. He does have a sexual relationship with a girlfriend, however infrequent their meetings are.
Bio: Born and bred outside Dallas, Texas, Robert was raised in a fairly wealthy family that worked in the medical technology industry. They encouraged their son to enter the sciences (preferably the applied science that was engineering), but Robert never enjoyed numbers or physics as much as they did. His true interest was in the mortuary sciences: an interest that sparked when he was seven. His Grandmother was dead and in state at a funeral home, and while the adults were conversing, he had been standing in front of the casket. His grandmother had never been so cold, so stone like, so he had believed that a stone face mask had been out over her so the public did not actually see a dead face. He was poking her nose through a veil several times, and can still remember feel the disconcertingly cold, dead flesh beneath his finger. But the stillness and cold had piqued his interest. It was by middle school that he had decided she would be either a Medical Examiner or a Pathologist. He participated in a Clinical Rotation program in his high school for his final two years, where students worked as volunteers at a nursing home for half of the year, then in various hospital departments in the other half. Upon graduation he was accepted to Texas A&M University's Forensic Science department, where he earned a bachelor's degree and a minor in biology. For medical school, he attended the University of a Texas Austin's Medical Branch in Galveston. He completed two residencies, one in forensic pathology, the other in forensic anthropology. He then earned accreditation as a Medical Examiner and began work in his native Dallas. Ten years later, an opportunity with the FBI presented itself in New York, where he has been working ever since.

Despite disagreeing with his choice in career, his parents have been supportive. He has an older sister, an electrical engineer who lives in St. Louis, Missouri. The family is not very social with each other, however, and only speak to each other a few times a year.
Notes: He has a slight southern accent. Robert is a member of a fencing club, which meets every Sunday. He also plays the piano and the cello. He enjoys listening music while he works, particularly piano pieces.

Since his discharge he has resorted to wearing plain T-shirts and polo shirts, all one solid color with black shoes.

Robert considers himself disciplined: he does not drink, smoke, or take recreational/illegal drugs. He does have a sexual relationship with a girlfriend, however infrequent their meetings are. Since his discharge, Robert has felt empty and bored: he is itching to put his medical expertise to work again. He also holds an immense hatred, borderline homicidal intent for the one who put him in this position, despite not knowing who he/she is, or what he/she looks like. He refers to that person as "The Shadow."

Unfortunately, after working with the FBI for a year, Robert was found in the apartment of a colleague with a fractured skull and internal hemorrhaging. The damage was severe enough to leave him in a coma for eight months. Robert awoke with no memory of the attack or his assailant, and shortly afterwards he was discharged from the FBI with a pension, to his great disappointment. For the past year, he has been living in an apartment, quietly, only leaving for his fencing. He also suffers from occasional migraines due to his injuries.

Despite disagreeing with his choice in career, his parents have been supportive. He has an older sister, an electrical engineer who lives in St. Louis, Missouri. The family is not very social with each other, however, and only speak to each other a few times a year.
Notes: He has a slight southern accent. Robert is a member of a fencing club, which meets every Sunday. He also plays the piano and the cello. He enjoys listening music while he works, particularly piano pieces.
Work Experience: As a Medical Examiner of a major city, Robert has had more of his fair share of bodies to examine, coupled with the fact that in Texas, every death not occurring in a hospital has to have an autopsy. He has examined everything from heart attacks to blunt force trauma, to which bullets hit first before the subject died. The majority of his cases have been natural deaths, but he has had many murder victims. He has written a paper over what he believes the next generation of incoming medical examiners need, and has given lectures at his alma mater. His colleagues would report he is thorough, although a little quiet. He had a few friends in the Dallas police and his office when he left for New York.

His most famous exploit was his autopsies and testimony on the victims of Peter Lansen, a serial killer known to the public of Dallas as the "Tooth Fairy," since he knocked out and collected the teeth of his victims. They were found in his home on a necklace. Lansen had a total of seven victims: four men and three women.

In New York with the FBI, he had only been working there for a year or two. His attitude and methodology had changed little in that time period. Perhaps he has performed autopsies on some of Dennis' victims. Other than that, his work life has been quiet.
