''' | '''Robert "Bobby" Kennedy''' was the [[Attorney General]] of the [[United States of America|United States]] under [[President of the United States|President]] [[John F. Kennedy]]. | ||
== Biography == | == Biography == | ||
=== Early life and career === | |||
Robert grew up in a family of staunch [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] upbringing with an older [[brother]], [[John F. Kennedy|John]], and a younger brother, [[Edward Kennedy|Edward]]. Robert was the sibling of the deepest beliefs and greatest faith and John frequently used him as a [[Morality|moral compass]] to guide his proper course of action in matters of the conscience. | |||
At some point after John was elected [[President of the United States|President]] in [[1960]], Robert was appointed as his [[Attorney General]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||
[[Polly Wright]]'s [[Uncle]] [[Charles Wright|Charles]] thought that the Kennedys were too liberal to become President. As a native of [[1966]], Polly had a hunch that Bobby became President and sold [[McDonald's]] to the [[United Kingdom]] when she visited [[1994]] with [[Ben Jackson]], who disagreed. They briefly considered finding out how accurate the prediction was but decided better of it. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Invasion of the Cat-People (novel)|Invasion of the Cat-People]]'') | |||
=== Death and legacy === | |||
<!-- | |||
Please keep this bit relatively brief and add the specifics to the [[Assassination of Robert Kennedy]] article rather than this one. References to Kennedy himself, in contexts other than the assassination, are suitable for this article. | |||

Bobby did not become President. Instead, [[Assassination of Robert Kennedy|he was assassinated]] in [[1968]] after being shot down. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') [[Norman (Salvation)|Norman]] of the [[Latter-Day Pantheon]] told [[Steven Taylor]] that "a warning in the right [[ear]]" or "a well-timed call to the [[police]]" could have saved him. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Salvation (novel)|Salvation]]'') | |||
[[ | Steven, a native of the [[24th century]] at the earliest, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Little Drummer Boy (short story)|The Litttle Drummer Boy]]'') was aware of Kennedy and his fate, enough to know that Robert was not yet dead by [[1965]] whereas John was. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Salvation (novel)|Salvation]]'') | ||
== Alternate timelines == | |||
In an [[alternate timeline]] envisioned by [[James Stevens]], it was [[Jackie Kennedy]] that died in the [[Kennedy assassination|1963 assassination]] rather than John. This resulted in the world being plunged into [[nuclear war]] in [[January]] [[1964]]. Robert was still serving as Attorney General during this time. Stevens also considered the possibility of Robert Kennedy becoming President if JFK had lived and done a second term. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Killed Kennedy (novel)|Who Killed Kennedy]]'') | |||
One of the crew of the ''[[Teselecta]]'' implied that "Kennedy" was an example of how [[time]] could be rewritten. ([[TV]]: ''[[Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)|Let's Kill Hitler]]'') | |||
