Sir Robert MacLeish (1837-1879) inherited his home from his father, Sir George MacLeish. Sir Robert never understood the work his father and Prince Albert, the Queen's consort, had undertaken in the observatory of Torchwood House.
In 1879, the Brethren came; he was unable to stop them taking over the house and setting a trap for the Queen. They held captive his wife, Lady Isobel, and the entire household, blackmailing him into assisting them. When the Queen arrived, he subtly attempted to tell her something was up and to ward her away, though was unsuccessful. He also met the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler.
He ate dinner with the Doctor, Queen Victoria and Captain Reynolds, where he told them of the Werewolf stories. In the end of the episode, he allowed the Werewolf to eat him alive, screaming in agony as it did so.
After the Host escaped, the Doctor, Rose, the Queen and Sir Robert eventually reached the observatory, the Doctor needing time to activate the light chamber. Realising that the only way to salvage his name and reputation was to sacrifice himself to protect the Queen, and not seeing any other way to keep them safe, Sir Robert volunteered to buy them time. He let himself be torn apart and devoured alive, allowing the Tenth Doctor the time he needed to kill the werewolf and protect the Queen. (TV: Tooth and Claw)
When Davros asked the Doctor, "How many have died in your name?", Robert was one of those he remembered. (TV: Journey's End)
He is referenced on the Home Office website for Torchwood. (TV: Children of Earth: Day One)
