Robert Minoru is a dark wizard, father of Nico Minoru, husband of Tina Minoru (Runaways), and a founding member of The Pride.
On the day of their wedding, the couple was summoned by the Gibborim to be the "The Magicians" in the Pride with promises of power, wealth, and eternal life.
As members of the Pride, the Minorus used their dark arts to assist in ruling the Los Angeles underworld, sacrificing to the Gibborim, protecting their turf, and disposing of threats to their power for a quarter of a century. The Minorus also had several connections within the black magic community.
At some point, the Minorus obtained the Black Mirror from Marie Laveau. Curious about their ancestry, they used the Black Mirror to explore the heritage of clan Minoru. Terrified by what they found, the used blood magic to seal the mirror.
Tina and Robert died in the Marine Vivarium with the other members of the Pride during the failed Rite of Thunder. Their last act was to distract the Gibborim allowing Nico and the others escaped.
