Robert
Robert is an old man in a group of pale people in black suits at a table, with the stillness of a very old businessman UC E5·00:27:45. He orders a brick of Pete's finest snow and says he is an associate of Don Confetti, old business partners UC E5·00:29:31 UC E5·00:33:03. He gives his name as Rob, says he works in finance, and winks at Pete's alias Jeffrey UC E5·00:33:33 UC E5·00:42:16 UC E5·00:36:27.
Robert is the old businessman Pete meets at the wedding, who calls himself Rob, an associate of Don Confetti, and later turns out to be Robert Moses UC E5·00:33:03 UC E5·00:33:33 UC E7·01:47:50. In the following episodes Pete says he is trying to figure out who Robert is, and Kugrash looking through old records recognises the first name as Robert Moses UC E6·00:11:06 UC E7·00:43:12.
Pete's contact calls him a big finance guy, and he introduces himself as Robert Moses and takes Pete for a ride UC E7·01:45:13 UC E7·01:47:50. Robert is flung backwards in the blast that ends the fight over Nod, as the next episode's recap puts it UC E8·00:00:17. In the final episode he is a voice in the storm saying "Guess the cat's out of the bag, kid" UC E17·00:33:01. Kugrash bites him UC E17·00:58:04. He screams "No!" when fire goes through the door UC E17·01:11:42.
