LEGIONNAIRE PROFILES – Robur The Conqueror

The man known only as Robur “The Conquerer” has been apprehended by authorities in the United States. He was held accused of deliberate destruction of the Paris branch of La Legion Fantastique, among several other brazen attacks with his fearsome heat weapon. His flying machine, The Albatross 2, was destroyed during a battle between Robur and his arch nemesis – the American agent named John Strock. After his arrest, he was extradited to England and was awaiting trial when he was suddenly released on bail by none other than Phileas Fogg!

No one knows the reasoning behind Fogg’s charity towards this skybound terrorist. Many speculate that Fogg and Robur have conspired on the Paris blaze to fatten Legion’s coffers through insurance fraud…but this is purely speculation!

“We have much to learn from this man,” said Fogg in a brief public statement. “To merely convict the man of his actions, brazen and destructive as they may be, would be foolish during this incredible time of innovation and science.”

Robur will be working at Legion under the constant scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police Force in London. The damaged heat ray weapon from The Albatross 2 will be on display at the British branch of La Legion Fantastique.
