Roy Hobbs was born "Thomas Roy Hobbes" in 1588 and never died. After his contemporaries questioned why he never seemed to age, he staged his own death and moved to the New World. He lived off the land for three hundred years, killing bears by stangling them with rope made out of his own hair. Atfer being discovered in rural Indiana in the late 1970s, he was forcable detained and immersed in American society by being strapped to a chair and forced to watch Boston Celtics games for eighteen hours daily. After knawing his left arm off, he escaped, never to be see again until the allure of Celticblog.com became too much for even this man of superhuman strength to withstand.
Danny Ainge nearly drafted Roy Hobbs in the second round of the 2005 draft, until it was discovered that he had once bitten the head off an opposing point guard in competition.
