Robson was a Watcher assigned to train Nora, a Potential Slayer, in London, and a friend of Rupert Giles.[1]
Biography
Shortly after the First Evil began its campaign to eliminate the Slayer line, Robson returned to his apartment and found Nora lying dead on the floor. When he moved in closer to investigate, one of the Harbingers of Death attacked him with a dagger, but Robson managed to fight back. However, another Bringer joined in, and soon Robson was stabbed and fell to the ground.[1]
Not long after, Rupert Giles charged into the room and found the dead girl and the severely injured Robson, who warned Giles that what the Watchers Council had feared for years had begun and he had to gather all Potential Slayers. As Robson lost consciousness, a Bringer raised an axe and swung it at Giles.[1]
Robson somehow survived and called Buffy Summers to find out what had happened to Giles, whom he last saw about to be decapitated. Following Robson's information,[2] the Scooby Gang checked if Giles was the First[2][3] and discovered that he had survived the attack because he heard the Bringer coming up behind him due to his shoes squeaking, and Giles beheaded him.[3]
