■ HISTORY. ■
Robert is the first and only born child of Cole and Evelyn Beaufort. At the time of his birth, his parents were only seventeen years old. His family was never considered civil or high-class, in fact, he was raised in one of the worst parts of New York City with one of the shadiest families one could find. The Beaufort name isn’t what it was now. Now when someone heard the name Beaufort they thought, wealth, class, success. Growing up, Robert’s last name didn’t grab anyone’s attention. Growing up with bums for parents, Robert knew he wanted more for himself then the life his parents gave him. He wanted to be wealthy, successful, though most of all, he wanted to be respected. Now many years later, Robert Beaufort still wasn’t exactly respected, he was feared. The man was well known within the business sector of New York City, he was the CEO of one of the largest investment companies in the world. Though his work ethic wasn’t what got him his fame and wealth. When he was in University for business, he met a woman by the name of Sophie Grant. She was a beautiful, smart, and incredibly personable woman, who came from different worlds. At first, Robert didn’t think she’d give him two minutes of her time. Though when they were both paired up for a group project, the two were able to get to know one another.
Meeting Sophie is what allowed Robert to turn his life around, she’d introduced him to a work he’d wished he’d had ever since he was a kid. She showed him the height of luxury and he knew that he couldn’t screw this up, and he didn’t. He made a good impression on everyone he met in Sophie’s life, especially her father. The man who offered him a job at his company after only a few months of knowing him. The day after he graduated from his undergraduate degree, he started his job at Sunlight Investments. Despite starting at the bottom, that company started his long-lasting career. His life changed in many ways as he continued to succeed and improve. He was soon becoming wealthier than his parents combined income, he and Sophie’s relationship continued to grow, he made a best friend through the company named Daniel Rathburn, Robert had become one of the happiest men alive. Over twenty years, married Sophie and had two beautiful children, he made his way up the company, became the wealthy man he’d always wanted to be. He was able to provide the life he’d always wanted to his kids. Summers in the Hamptons, tennis lessons, credit cards without limits, whatever they wanted, the sky was the limit. What he hadn’t expected was the strains his work would put on him, and his relationship. After the birth of their second child, he was still incredibly happy, though he could feel something missing.
Around the same time, he’s been assigned a new assistant Madeline Cartwell. She was young, full of life, and incredibly promiscuous. He was infatuated by her, he began seeing her in secret out of the office. Despite knowing it was wrong to have an affair, especially when married to the woman who gave him this life. Madeline was new and fresh, she was fun and exciting. She allowed him to feel young and exciting again. One day she left the company without a word, he didn’t think anything of it until months later, she returned to him at his favourite coffee shop with a large baby bump. Despite his initial mistake, he wasn’t ready to accept the consequences, though she was demanding money. Robert shrugged the woman off. He thought he’d gotten rid of her since it had been months since they’d been together. She could have been sleeping with many men. Though a few months later, when she returned with a baby in her arms, and paternity test results. She not only demanded a larger sum, though she threatened to reveal this child to his family. Robert knew he couldn’t have that happen. His family would have fallen apart and the life he felt he worked so hard to achieve would be gone in the blink of an eye.
■ WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON? ■
He knew he needed to provide her with the money she demanded. Though in order to do that without creating suspicion from his wife. He needed to do something worse than cheating. He needed to steal money from the company in order to fund this mistake. He’d succeeded at properly funnelling money into offshore accounts which eventually made into Madeline’s account. He felt he’d handled the Madeline situation and truly felt he wouldn’t ever hear the name again. Although after a few years, his best friend and partner Daniel Hathburn was able to learn why over the last five years had the company’s book not been completely regular. Robert tried his best to encourage Daniel that, it all balances out. Robert felt he’d convinced Daniel that everything was alright until one night his best friend confronted him about the money. Proof of the hundreds of thousands of dollars he’d stolen for the benefit of another woman he’d kept a secret. Robert knew that Daniel was a good man, a better man than he’d ever been. He couldn’t risk Daniel keeping this secret, instead of coming clean, he chose to commit yet another crime.
■ KEEP THIS AWAY FROM YOUR ENEMIES ■
After Daniel found out about his secret family, Robert and his best friend had a huge falling out. Weeks after the initial argument, Robert came up with a plan that would conclude Daniel as a threat to his current livelihood. Robert paid off an IT employee to forge the financial records to make it look like Daniel had stolen money from the company. When all the forgeries were completed, he brought up the fake issue to his father-in-law and had Daniel Hathburn arrested. Daniel was a strong-willed man and while Robert assumed that sending him to prison was warning enough to keep quiet. That wasn’t the case. In a moment of weakness, Robert set up a meeting with a Royals of Purgatory member and offered him an incredibly large sum of money, for one of their incarcerated members to kill Daniel Hathburn and make it look like a suicide. Between the talking to his father-in-law, court dates, lawyers his plan held out for months, though within a year. Robert’s life was back to normal. The funds continued to make their way to Madeline’s account and he lived his life in peace. Little did he know the daughter Daniel Hathburn left behind, was looking for revenge and his head was her number one target.
■ RELATIONSHIPS. ■
■ Oliver Cartwell: Oliver was the son he funded though he didn’t care to know. He wasn’t a priority or even a thought in his mind. His life was a nuisance especially with what he claimed to be a bitch of a mother who caused him to go lengths he never would have before he was born.  
■ Joshua Krongold: He remembers Joshua when he made a deal with his gang to take care of Daniel Hathburn, he has since never needed to inquire about their services. 
■ Olivia Talbot: Olivia was someone he’d easily recognize in the world of business. She and he have often posted together for the top one hundred business people in New York for various magazines over the years.
