A conflicted and troubled cannibalistic sociopath, Robert Vorsh was descended from the same bloodline as his wife, Lisa Svaloe. Although plagued by the same desires, neither indulged them until they met... and then, they set each other off. From that moment on, they were inseparable - hunting, killing and eating surreptitiously, until eventually they met their end... and were sent to Hell. And together, as in life, they became the incarnation of the mortal sin Gluttony.
Although bound together, their relationship is far from rosy. They quibble and argue all the time; any love they felt for each other has faded long since. Of the two, Bob is the dominated party, mopey, dour and frequently cowed by his assertive spouse.
When he dominates their shared body, it lacks the wings his wife sprouts; he can, however, vomit highly corrosive acid.
Life[]
Bob worked as a corporate attorney in life, a sourpuss with a dour outlook on life. As consumption of animal flesh was expressly forbidden in his time, he and other carnivores had to subsist on "synth meat," a plant based meat substitute that did little to whet his hunger. He meets Lisa at a company Christmas party, and they commiserate with their disdain for their surroundings and more importantly, their mutual desire to eat meat.
They end up knocking the boss's secretary out and taking her to Bob's hotel suite, where they kill and eat her.
Some time after this, Bob and Lisa abandon their old lives and become cannibalistic serial killers, traveling the country, murdering and consuming their victims and then assuming their identities on short term basis before moving on to feed again. While sharing similar interests, they grow apart, both constantly paranoid the other is trying to undermine or kill them. Bob has a crisis of conscious during one stay when he sympathizes with his neighbor's wife Ellie, feeling bad for her. Lisa on the other hand is instantly smitten with her husband Branger, and begins a sexual tryst with him.
Bob and Lisa continue their new relationships while staying at each other's throats, and end up killing each of their neighbors out of spite for each other, denying one another the happiness they found in their neighbor's lives. They end up locked in a freezer, killing each other out of hunger.
After Life[]
After dying, Bob and Lisa were cursed to continue their cravings for flesh in Hell as the combined sin of Gluttony. As they shared their reputation for evil in life, they are forced to share their bodies in death, fusing into a single being to hunt down food. Bob is often left as the passive passenger in the body while Lisa makes most of the major decisions. The two beings are free to split into separate beings, but are weaker in this state and must combine to unleash their full powers. Bob has also shown a willingness to let possible meals escape on occasion when Lisa is distracted.
Bob continued working with the other sins in various schemes or striking out with Lisa to achieve their own goals, repeatedly running afoul of Jack, the angels or various denizens of Hell who were opposed to their actions. Thanks to Kane's arcane tinkering, he and Lisa have found a way to separate but still have their own individual powers remain in place, allowing them to still be powerful and dangerous when apart.
Bob and Lisa: Splitsville[]
The repeated decapitations and dismemberments eventually wore down Bob, while it only seemed to drive Lisa into more of a deranged commitment to anarchy. As time passed, both of their separate bodies have grown stronger, though Lisa is the more powerful of the two, perhaps due to her unrepentant loving of her status as a Sin.
After years of fighting between the two over conflicting goals and irreconcilable differences over who's to blame for their lot in life, Bob eventually broke with Lisa and decided to side with the Rebellion in Hell, though for his own personal desires for revenge against Lisa and not for any greater good.
While not trusted with any command positions, and under close observation for any signs of treachery, Bob is still an invaluable source of information for the Rebellion against Kane's rule.
