Personal history

Robert “Bobby” Francis was born in 1855 to a large family in Chicago, Illinois. Bobby had 3 siblings, two male and a female. Bobby would grow up being the runt of the litter and would grow to dislike his life in Chicago. Bobby would learn basic life skills like riding a horse and shooting a gun but would take a long while to learn properly and but would eventually prevail.
In 1866 Bobby’s older brothers were killed after being framed for a murder. Bobby’s brothers weren’t given a chance to prove themselves innocent and were hung by the neck only 4 weeks later. This occurrence would make Bobby despise police and law enforcement which would bloom into a life of crime.
In 1872 when Bobby was 16, he began to ride with small time Gangs and crews to make easy money. Bobby would learn useful criminal skills like easy lying and pickpocketing along the time he was with these numerous crews.
In 1877 when Bobby was 22 he met Dylan West and Eva Kildahl in a saloon in Chicago. Dylan saw Bobby pickpocketing some unsuspecting men and attempted to approach him. Bobby would attempt to flee thinking that Dylan was a lawman, Dylan would eventually corner Bobby and explain to him that he wasn’t interested in recruiting him into the Black Bison Gang, Bobby agreed and became a member of the Black Bison Gang shortly after.
In 1880 Bobby was drinking in a tavern in Chicago when he was approached by 3 racist men. The men would harass Bobby ruthlessly until he had enough and began to attack them. Bobby ruthlessly murdered all three of the men with his bare hands, nicknaming him “Bare Bobby”.
Bobby was seen as an experienced member of the Black Bison Gang by the rest of the crew and would assume a higher point of authority among the gang.
Bobby was one of the members to be captured and hung after the raid at the Black Bison Gangs Camp in 1898. Bobby was remembered with a kind heart among the surviving members.
