Not strictly fictional...

Not even fictional ;)

But 'Robartes' often 'tips up' in games I play as either a commander or a unit. Got hooked on the name after meeting some of the chaps from the living history group of the same name whom after a raucous evening of wine, women and song spent with the unit resulted in one of the mightiest hangovers I have had to date :D

After that night I often referred to a night on the lash as a night 'with Robartes' and the morning after as 'I'd rather face Hades than another Robartes'

If you haven't seen these guys get along to one of their events ;)
