Charlie Smith
Charlie was a member of Robert's crew before they joined the Revenge. She tells him that he lost his right to dictate what happens on the Revenge in accordance to the Code. In Chapter 11, Charlie offers to join his crew if he helps your cause. However, when he betrays your crew, the offer is rescinded.

Edward Mortemer
On Edward's ship, Robert was first mate until he led a failed mutiny on board. In Chapter 12, if you decide to accompany Robert, he tells you that he thinks Edward is a fine leader but that in the dangerous profession of piracy, he needs to be more than 'fine'. Robert thinks Edward no longer has the cutthroat nature needed to be a good pirate captain.

Your Character
Robert has a hostile relationship with you given that he immediately accuses you of either being a Witch or a spy for the Royal Navy. During your pirate trial, he attempts to persuade the crew that you "enchanted" Edward. When you see a time rift and call out for Steve, your agent, Robert overhears you and tells Edward that you must be daft. At the end of Chapter 2, you overhear him conspiring to stage a mutiny against Edward and overthrow him as the Captain. You can choose to warn Edward in a premium scene.

After the failed mutiny, you lose track of Robert until Chapter 11 where you seek to find him and ask him to help you rescue Edward from the Admiral's ship. You can choose to beat him at cards or persuade him a different way, but both result in his begrudging agreement. However, after you rescue Edward, Robert and his crew betray you once again. He states that the Admiral has given him better incentive.

In Chapter 14, when you see the compass glow in his hand, you jump to the conclusion that Robert is also a time traveller. In Chapter 16, after seeing Francis Cochrane run him through with a sword, you can either say that Robert didn't deserve to die or that you wanted to do that yourself. At the end of the chapter, you find he is alive in present time and the two of you team up to get the compass back in order to travel back in time.

Admiral Cochrane
In Chapter 12, you discover that Robert is in league with Admiral Cochrane. When they find the compass that you buried, they leave you and the crew behind in a collapsed cave. However, in Chapter 14, Admiral Cochrane betrays Robert and frames him for the murder of Governor Smith. In Chapter 16, Francis runs Robert through with a sword and throws him into the portal, but at the end of the chapter, Robert is alive and well.
