In his narrative songs, Graverobber shows a very philosophical side, noting how people created the Repo Man through their own greed in Repo Man, then saying that holding grudges as Rotti and Nathan did is pointless, as people all end up in a 'Tiny Pine Box' in Epilogue.ĭespite his aggressive nature, GraveRobber is somewhat of a gentleman when it comes to ladies such as when he was soemwhat gentle with Amber when they slept together in ' Come Up and Try My New Parts', despite his strong disliking of her and bid farewell to Shilo by blowing a kiss and making a graceful bow at her. Though his intentions for doing so are never made clear, he is very helpful to Shilo throughout the story when they interact. He goes about his job, both stealing zydrate from corpses and dealing it, with a smile on his face. The Graverobber is a generally lively character. He then begins to tell the epilogue of the tale, furthering his position as the narrator.

He is also aware of the bloodbath the opera will become due to culmination of all of the plots taken by the characters (meaning he must be aware of most, if not all of their secrets somehow).Īt the end of the story, GraveRobber scornfully questions why everyone can't move on, why grudges like the one between Rotti and Nathan have to go on, given how everyone ends up dead someday. The Graverobber takes an almost omniscient point of view during the course of the story, acting as a narrator at the beginning and end of the film, knowing of the dangers of the Repo Man caused by greed, then scorning people for letting grudges get out of control. However it is in this alley that he shows Shilo that Amber Sweet is addicted to the knife (and by extension, Zydrate), and explains to her the finer details of Mag's contract with GeneCo, thus alerting Shilo to the dangers of Mag's retirement. According to Terrance Zdunich, Graverobber was raised by his preacher father in a small middle-American town until he rebelled and ran away to Sanitarium Island, where he changed his name and pursued dealing and anarchy.Įven though he's constantly seen in everyone else's business: He runs into Shilo Wallace in the graveyard and nearly gets her executed by GeneCops, then helps her escape from the festival only to drag her to a back alley full of Zydrate addicts.
