Robert Boles

"No one can stand in the way of the future!"

Robert "Bob" Boles is a serial killer and abductor appeared in Future Perfect.

Background
Because of his inability to get along with other children, Boles was home-schooled in his youth by his parents. While he was still young, he and his parents visited a sickly uncle at a nursing home. Boles got lost in the building and came across a room that he thought was his uncle's; instead, it contained an elderly man. The man spotted Boles and bitterly told him that he would end up looking just like him one day. Shocked by this, Boles fled and was traumatized by the encounter ever since, having to look in the mirror every day to see if he was close to looking like the old man. As a teenager, he got a job at a gift shop near the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, Florida, which subsequently sparked a fascination with immortality. He was fired from his job after he tried to break into the park during after-hours. Afterwards, he developed an obsession with creating a method to extend the lifespan of a human.

Boles later attended medical school in an attempt to acquire the scientific knowledge he needed to pursue his theory. During his time there, he discovered an underground science club called The Mad Scientist Club and attended a couple of meetings. However, he disturbed the club's other members with his cryptic comments about the Fountain of Youth and the land they were standing on. After one year, Boles flunked out of school and he then landed a series of unsuccessful part-time jobs, including one at a zoo. Finally, he got an apparently steady job as an orderly at a local Florida hospital specializing in advanced medical knowledge, and he began taking care of the hospital's elderly patients. In the meantime, Boles fervently continued to pursue experimenting with his theory. Setting up a makeshift laboratory at an abandoned medical facility, he stole several animals from the zoo he worked at, specifically those belonging to species noted for their extended lifespans, in order to further his research. After concocting a formula, Boles then decided to move on to human trials.
