Initially just a low-level thief, pederast, and cattle rustler, Rob Roy eventually secures enough contraband to establish a protection racket over an entire fiefdom. Tormenting one of the few successful and honest businessmen in County Cork (or wherever the hell Scotland is), he eventually killed many of the man's family and friends. Madness caused by the evil deeds he had done overtook him; he declared himself Bonnie Prince Charlie and demanded tribute from neighboring clans. A Scot might bend the knee to the English but never to one of their own. The villain was quickly enchained, and brought before the English lords, who pitied him as one would any idiot, and made him a stablehand to Earl something or other, where he lived out his days in quiet isolation. Today his former home, a pile of rubble covered in moss, remains the seat of the Scottish government, overlooking Loch Latrine which he so loved.
Today the Rob Roy Cocktail, a fruity drink served in a glass made to resemble the traditional Scottish skirt upside-down, symbolic of their defeat and subjugation, is named in his honor.
