Biography
Bobby Nilsen was born in 1881 in Central Boston, Massachusetts, United States to Mr. Nilsen and Alexandra Nilsen. His father was a half-widgae whilst his mother was a nil-widgae; making him a half-widgae. Out of all four siblings, Bobby had the strongest powers; manipulation of gravity and production of water. His mother never knew of Bobby's powers until he produced water for her while she was sick. However, it is known that Leif and Mr. Nilsen knew of his powers.

Throughout childhood he was extremely close to Leif Nilsen, even knowing the extent of his prostitution and prostitute name. Although Bobby never became a prostitute, he appreciated Leif's work. During Leif's death, Bobby stepped in to stop the killer and to protect his mother by using his water production to suffocate the killer. As the neighbors rushed, Bobby was forced to stop his powers; resulting in the killer escaping.

During Theodore's investigations, Bobby provided evidence of Leif's prostitution and prostitute workplace. He also showed the effects of PTSD and Victim-blaming; by saying he could've used his powers to capture the killer, but was too "cowardly". This victim guilt made him show his power of gravity manipulation. Theodore was forced to ensure Bobby not to "go down the path of tenebrosity" and offered a place at an unnamed widgae school.

Bobby later replaced Leif's job as a Corset Maker. Bobby moved away with his parents and siblings to Connecticut, never to be seen again.

Behind the scenes

 * Bobby Nilsen's character is based around a real life person and friend of the author.
 * Bobby's powers seem isolated, according to Theodore. This 'isolation of powers' can supposedly make one turn "dark", hinting that dark-widgaes exist.
