Old Man Robertson used to spend his time in his rocking chair next to the boathouse at the docks of Innsmouth. Ostensibly, his duty was to keep an eye on the few young people who worked the docks. In reality, he was something of a thrall to N'helixys, keeping an eye out for any intruders to their town. Once Arild Hylde was killed and the Disaster Dregs removed him from the town, this connection was broken. Robertson often forgets his age and attempts to help with tasks that would be better suited to one of the younger members of the crew of Hillpoint Keep, but has yet to do himself grievous harm.
