Robert the Strong was a famous hero who battled against the Dragonkin in the Fourth Age during the Dragonkin Conflicts and forced them into hiding.

He is significantly taller than an ordinary human and appears to be wearing armour resembling rock-shell armour, and wields a unique bow which resembles an ogre bow.

A Tail of Two Cats

During a cutscene, Robert is seen slaying one of the Dragonkin in their castle after it kills his pet panther, Odysseus. The quest also reveals that Bob the Cat is the reincarnation of Robert the Strong.

While Guthix Sleeps

Robert makes a minor appearance in a cutscene near the end of While Guthix Sleeps. After the player touches the Stone of Jas, they see a vision depicting memories of other users of the Stone, including Robert the Strong, who remarked that the only way to win against the Dragonkin would be to use their curse against them.

Dragon Slayer II

During Dragon Slayer II, the player is tasked with defeating Robert after entering Bob the Cat's mind. Robert's damage is only partially reduced by Protect from Missiles. The player can hide behind one of the four pillars in the boss area to mitigate the damage of his special attack. If players die during this fight, they can pay 100k to retrieve their items at the nearby brazier.

He is then seen without his helmet during a cutscene. Here, it is revealed what Robert did with the key pieces the player is required to find.

Trivia

• Robert the Strong's Strong Arrow special attack is similar to Nomad's Soul Blast during Nomad's Requiem in RuneScape.
• Robert the Strong possibly shares his name with a historical figure named Robert the Strong, who was the father of two kings of West Francia, those being Odo and Robert I of France before passing in 866 AD. More likely however, he shares his name with Robert the Bruce, a national hero of Scotland who during the First War of Scottish Independence against England, fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent kingdom.
