Robyn Hart is an ex-soldier who settled down in Esk for a more peaceful lifestyle after leaving the military. He witnessed his fair share of death, especially in the battle of Veceilsk, where many people suffered. According to Jonas, this has a connection with Robyn's recent bouts of "seeing things," but Robyn suspects that Jonas knows a lot more about the spirits than he lets on.
While in Esk, Robyn has been teaching fencing and shooting while hoping that Anya will come around and return his feelings for her. Unfortunately for Robyn, this has not been the case, and so he is a bit jealous of Jonas and has a tendency to want to hurt Jonas more and more with every chapter. (Watch his eyes, you can just tell.)

Robyn: I just... don't think you should be working so much.
Anya: I know, I know...
Robyn: Take some time off to do something else. I could take you riding, or-
Anya: Really, Robyn, I'm fine... Was there something you wanted?
Robyn: Sorry?
Anya: Well I assume you dropped by for a reason. Or was it just for a chat?
Robyn: Well I thought that now that you've got... that extra burden, you could do with a little extra help, as it were. I do have basic first aid training, and I'm more than capable of-
Anya: I don't need anyone's help, let alone yours.
Robyn: I don't trust you. How did you get those injuries?
Jonas: A dakor.
Robyn: A dakor with a gun?
Jonas: Smart dakor.
Petria: If I was rich, I'd have a hundred servants! And I'd have a house with a hundred rooms!
Robyn: You'd get lost in as few as twenty.
Petria: I'd have a servant follow me around and show me the way!
Robyn: Anya doesn't like shooting anyway. I've asked her a dozen times. You won't convince her.
Jonas: Three shillings says I can.
Robyn: Five shillings says Blythe starts removing your fingernails.
Robyn: I've had enough of your silence! I've taught you what you've wanted to learn, but you've told me nothing! What's going on? Why are people dying? What are all these things I keep seeing?! They're always around you, you must see them!
