Robb Bartley

Robb Bartley was a resident of Ravenmoor and father of Marleyna Bartley and her missing older sister, Brie. He was romantically involved with Doriv Carmiscu, who also provided him with flayleaf and spread rumors, mostly targeting the Dagwoods, in order to draw attention away from Robb's countless crimes. A worshiper of Zon-Kuthon, Robb was a committed sadist who performed ritual torture on his own daughters as well as a number of women kidnapped and held for weeks in his basement over the course of several years. After an incident in which he taunted the investigators from out-of-town and was confronted over his abuse of Marleyna, Robb fled into his basement, donned a ritual mask, and attempted to attack Sebastian Bacarov when he came into the basement to make an arrest. In the ensuing melee, Vincent Marsh killed Robb Bartley with a blow to the head that crushed his skull. Warshawski later attempted to interrogate his lingering spirit by perpetuating his love of torture, but when Bartley tried to give up the identities of some of the cultists operating in the town, his spirit and body were both consumed by some sort of strange insects that nearly flooded the basement, forcing the investigators to flee.
