This page is a compilation of lore and story content for this character.
Backstory[]
Character Introduction[]
Overnight, Robbie Whyte lost a spacious house, a comfortable bed, delicious food, and his loving parents. Instead, they were replaced by never-ending handiwork and the apathetic guard at the White Sand Street Orphanage. Yet with the help of his sister, Dolores, he grew accustomed to the work of tidying up the yard, and pruning the juniper trees became his new hobby. Before long, the church took over the orphanage. The children no longer needed to do labor, which saddened Robbie. But Dolores didn't have to beg on the streets anymore, and the nuns kept everyone warm and fed. So what if Robbie lost his little hobby? After all, things were finally getting on track for him and his sister. That was the last thing "Axe Boy" Robbie Whyte could remember. He woke up under a juniper tree, but his sister and the orphanage were nowhere to be found. All he had was the deadwood in his hands. Robbie could get on with his hobby again.[7]

A letter to Baron DeRoss (2020)[]
Dear Baron DeRoss:
You've always given me medical advice as a psychiatric specialist. I'm writing to ask for your help in a diagnosis. I'd be truly grateful if you could find some time to come to the White Sand Street Asylum.
Upon receipt of a letter from a volunteer, I realized that a terrifying mistake might have been made in the White Sand Street Asylum. I can't, and I shouldn't say anything in this letter, but the "incident" that happened in the asylum today has been keeping me up all night. I sat at my desk and kept asking myself whether I've betrayed God's will.
I once told you that this asylum would become my family. In an orderly family where everything is based on love and peace, the children trust and obey their parents entirely. Then how can the parents do nothing when the children are suffering? As stated in James 2:17, "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." And as stated by the Ninth Commandment, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." If I treat myself as the children's parents, I simply can't ignore the children's circumstances and suffering.
To ensure your safety and smooth operation of the upcoming consultations, I'll introduce you to Father Duke as a donor.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Sister Lorraine
A diary with a torn title page (2021)[]
February 11
I can't stand this racket! That new boy is such a crybaby!
February 12
I knew this would happen! It turns out there's nothing wrong with the crybaby. His sister, however... Looks aren't everything, but it's easier to pull on the heartstrings with one hand.
Luckily, today, someone made even less than I did... otherwise, that stinking rat would've been giving me the beating.
(Many pages were torn off between this entry and the next.)
February 22
An increasing number of strangers have been coming and going lately, carrying strange things in the night.
I saw a bunch of folding knives last night. They look different from ordinary knives. Dolores said they're medical bloodletting tools, but I think they look more suitable for prying open locks, so I secretly took one.
There were also some dolls that you can pull apart, inside and out, belts and headbands covered in metal decorations, and some kind of viscous metallic liquid... I've never seen anything like those in my life. Also, Dolores looked ill. She kept rambling on about bloodletting, electric belts, mannequins... I asked her how she knows so much. Dolores said she heard about those from the family doctor... I don't know if she's lying, but maybe those two orphans are not from any ordinary family of paupers.
March 29
Although that annoying rat has been replaced with a priest and a nun, the strict rules here are so stifling, I can barely breathe. And that bitter medicine... They told me I'm sick, but I know... I know I'm not sick.
April 6
I've been feeling dizzy and tired recently. Fortunately, I can just about hold this piece of charcoal to write.
April 9
I saw it! Dolores has been pouring the crybaby's medicine out of the window, beneath the juniper tree! Had that rat rotted my brain completely!? I should've been doing the same thing all this time!
April 23
Oh, no, Dolores has started shrieking, too. Can it be that... she doesn't recognize her little crybaby anymore? Hasn't she been throwing out the medicine?
April 24
I knew it, I knew it, they're going to drag Dolores away, I knew it!
Should I take a peek tonight?
I remember there being a heavy pull-out window there, although it's always locked... but my knife should be able to pry it open.
April 25
I can hear Dolores screaming from this room... But where is that crybaby? Should I go check on him? It's been a long time since I heard him cry.
Wait... Was that the sound of an axe falling? What is he doing!?
No, it should be okay. He's too short to get in here, and the window is too heavy...
The window? It looks like the window...
Good lord! This cannot be! I forgot to close the window when I left last night!
Paper under Half a Piece of White Bread (2022)[]
Dear Robbie,
I've been waiting for this day forever! It's so quiet tonight. No one is arguing, and no one is disturbing me.
I can finally take my basket and visit you like a normal person.
I also have a piece of white bread for you—I finally managed to get my hands on one.
I thought I should tell you something now that I can still pick up my pen and my thoughts are still clear.
Do you remember the days when the four of us were together as a family?
I can still feel the warmth upon my chest even when my senses are fading.
Back then, our parents would always give each of us a goodnight kiss before they tucked us in. And you would kiss on my cheek to wake me up in the morning. When I opened my eyes, you would day good morning to me. With the sunlight behind you, your eyes smiling, you looked like an angel—a sight I will never forget.
I always thought that, throughout my insignificant life, I'm most proud of having such kind parents and the most adorable brother.
Yet, yet...
People say you never know when love will come, and once it's here, there's no going back. In this aspect, death is really similar.
However, my desperation feels like my world is being buried. But to them, it's nothing but another pile of dirt under the juniper tree.
Even if someone has passed on, the White Sand Street Asylum continues its business as usual. It's suffocatingly cold. There are no feelings, no thoughts in there.
Everything repeats mechanically and lifelessly.
I'm not afraid of death. I'm just worried that I can't do anything for you before I see you.
Yet now that the chance is here, whatever humiliation in the past was worth it.
Did you know they were particularly wary of me in the beginning?
Then again, how could those high and mighty "gods" turn down a cheerful and obedient fool?
Since they've long lost their humanity and the asylum is basically hell, I may as well bury everything here!
Don't worry, I'll come and see you. If that makes you less lonely, I'll be happy to do so.
Oh right, most importantly:
Happy birthday, my angel.
Love you and miss you forever,
Your sister
Volunteer's Diary (2023)[]
April 25
When I arrived at the room at the end of the corridor, there was nothing left... Besides the appalling bloodstains around the window, which I was ordered to clean up before it gave off a putrid smell.
I scrubbed it, over and over again, but the smell just wouldn't go away.
O-Oh, I know... It must be the smell of rust coming from the iron window! And my clothes too. They are giving off such an unpleasant stench, I'll have to wash them up once I get off from work.
As I lay there in bed at night, I still can't help but shiver. Maybe it's just as they say, ""A deranged patient attempted to hit the doctors on duty with an axe."" That's all I need to know.
April 29
That young woman, Dolores, has been pacing beneath the juniper tree in the yard lately.
While I was mowing the overgrown weeds in the yard, I saw her trying to shovel up the mound of soil there.
After that, the nun grabbed her only arm, pushed her to the ground, and dragged her away.
She scratched and bit the nuns and even let out chilling laughter.
Sister Lorraine told me that Dolores' insanity has worsened, and she doesn't seem to be the young woman I knew anymore.
Is that really the truth? Then where did her younger brother go?
May 1
My God... Can I really continue lying to myself? Trevor told me that we should face our hearts truthfully, but I have been tortured to the brink of madness.
Please grant me some peace, just a little, just one night... Drive away the sinful reality I face.
(The ink has been slightly smudged by water.)
At night, I placed some marzipan before the mound beneath the juniper tree, just like how I'd left some at his window many nights in the past. A small portion of marzipan still remains in the glass bottle, but I may never hear that child's cries again.
But... At the very least, he won't feel any more pain, right?
May 30
(Messy handwriting)
Retribution... retribution is finally here!
That crazy girl was dragging her axe along, and I heard something heavy slamming. I didn't even hear a single scream.
I'm certain Dolores heard the noise in my room. She must know I'm awake, so where should I hide?
May 31
The trails of blood on the ground haven't been cleaned... They saved me from death.
When I saw Dolores' face that was warped by pain, I knew that I'd still sided with the devil.
Dolores wasn't coming back.
A Message (2024)[]
"Little Robbie Whyte released his crude axe handle, seeking solace beneath the juniper's boughs.His scarred hand, a roadmap of pain, no longer obligated to bear the weight of sustenance or spite. Perhaps in slumber, it serves only to brush away the tears of another or to tenderly caress a head of soft hair."
Robbie Whyte: Investigation Field Notes I (2025)[]
As I was cataloging the records of patients treated at White Sand Street Asylum, I stumbled upon a curious entry involving a brother and sister, both of whom had endured extraordinary experiences. When I inquired with the asylum staff, their responses focused entirely on the tragic and sensational image of the sister—frantic and deranged—swinging an axe. Yet, none of them seemed to recall the tragic death of her younger brother, the boy who was laid to rest beneath the old juniper tree.
Robbie Whyte
There is little to no written or photographic evidence of Robbie Whyte in the archives of White Sand Street Asylum—or in those of its predecessors. It seems his presence has been deliberately erased from the records. Even the volunteers working in the asylum avoid mentioning his name. The only trace of him is a lone entry in a caregiver's journal, which recounts a mischievous incident where the boy climbed the asylum's balcony late at night and caused an accident. Some others spoke of a deranged patient wielding an axe: "He had returned from the dead—just as he had beneath the juniper tree—pruning the branches."
I could only record these disjointed, subjective remarks and set them aside for the time being. My investigation led me to leave White Sand Street Asylum, hopeful that the surrounding community might offer further clues.
There are few buildings surrounding the asylum, save for a solitary news kiosk in the distance. The vendor, noticing my rare appearance, approached me with practiced ease, handing me a fresh newspaper. He asked what had brought me to the asylum, and when I mentioned the name of the deceased boy I was investigating, the man, who introduced himself as Ernest, hesitated. After confirming that I had no intention of publishing any sensitive information, he began to recount what he knew about the White Sand Street Asylum and its troubling past.
Ernest's narrative often seemed to align with the headlines of the newspapers. On that particular day, he had been doing his rounds as a newsboy, calling out the day's headlines. The tragic tale of "The Whytes' Accidental Deaths" was the topic that dominated the streets. Some claimed they had perished in a botched underground trade accident; others insisted they had been victims of a collapse at an entertainment venue. Regardless of the various rumors, the Whyte children were sent to an orphanage, abandoned and neglected. Ernest recalled seeing the boy, "shoved into the orphanage, crying inconsolably," while a caregiver callously referred to him as a "crybaby." The girl, though visibly disturbed, never let go of her brother's hand.
"In the days that followed," Ernest continued, "I would often see groups of children leaving the orphanage. Some were missing limbs, leaning on one another as they begged for charity. At first, I thought their injuries were the result of accidents until I saw that sister again. When she first entered the orphanage, she looked weary and frightened, but unlike now, she was whole, healthy even!" Ernest's voice cracked slightly as he recounted these memories, revealing a child's inability to fully grasp the tragic events unfolding around him.
During his newspaper rounds, Ernest frequently noticed a young boy—Robbie—pruning branches along the orphanage's iron fence. Occasionally, their eyes would meet across the barrier, a silent understanding passing between them. The ice was broken when the "crybaby" offered Ernest a small figure made of juniper twigs. "It was crooked, and even a little ugly," Ernest smiled wistfully, "but it meant a great deal to me as a child."
From that moment on, the two boys exchanged gifts: Ernest, using his meager newspaper earnings, would buy candies and milk to pass through the gaps in the fence, while Robbie reciprocated with various items made from juniper twigs. Over time, their conversations grew more familiar, and Ernest learned the names of the siblings. The discussions were light-hearted, covering a range of topics. Ernest recalled how Robbie would speak fondly of his home in Somerset, of the warm milk his parents had given him before they left, and the bitter herbal tea he had been forced to take when ill.
"Whenever I pruned the juniper branches, I would think of the fuzzy feeling sitting on my father's shoulders."
"Under the juniper tree buried the memories of my sister and me."
"The milk was cold and a little sour, but with my sister, it was all happiness."
"I wish my sister would come back soon."
I was moved by Ernest's recollection, but I tempered my emotions to maintain objectivity and stay focused on the investigation. For a time, the two boys continued their exchanges, until, one day, Ernest learned that the White Sand Street Orphanage had changed ownership. After that, fewer and fewer children emerged from its grim walls, and Ernest saw less and less of Robbie. He often observed stretcher-bearers hauling covered bodies in and out of the orphanage, but at the time, he could not fathom the significance of those grim occurrences.
Ernest's last memory of Robbie occurred one night after he had finished his deliveries and was heading home. He heard someone calling out to him. Turning, he saw Robbie standing pale and gaunt on the other side of the iron fence. Robbie, looking worn and distressed, explained that he had not seen his sister for days. Since the orphanage had changed ownership, she had been taken away and locked in a room upstairs.
"My sister poured out my medicine," Robbie had told him. "She said if I took it, I wouldn't get any more candy."
"I wanted to help him," Ernest confessed, his voice heavy with regret. "I told him, ‘Maybe when it gets dark, you can sneak past the guards and look at your sister through the window by the wall. Robbie, something's not right. You need to escape with her. We'll meet outside, and then we can deliver newspapers together. We'll make a life for ourselves.'" Ernest's face clouded over as he recalled the futile hope in his words. Not long after, a chilling report emerged of a patient with an axe in the asylum, and Robbie Whyte vanished from all known accounts.
With the information I had gathered from Ernest and from subsequent reports, I was able to piece together the broader narrative. While the true culprit of these tragedies may have been identified, the series of unfortunate events, and the irreversible consequences they brought, had clearly weighed heavily on Ernest. It seemed that he was the only one in the neighborhood who still cared about Robbie. After assuring him that my investigation would remain private, Ernest appeared to relax.
"Somerset," Robbie had often mentioned, "might hold more answers." So, after a brief journey, I arrived in Somerset and found the "Juniper Tree Park" that Robbie had spoken of.
The elderly residents in the area still remembered the Whyte family with fondness. When I inquired about the siblings, they spoke highly of them, particularly Robbie, who, though small in stature, would often bounce around excitedly after Sunday services, offering cheerful greetings to his neighbors. The house they had once lived in had long since passed into other hands, and the juniper tree that had once stood proudly in their garden had been cut down. All that remained was a tangle of weeds and overgrown shrubs.
Following Ernest's clues, I continued to search the area and soon discovered something hard buried in the soil—a glass bottle. The bottle's seal had been broken, and inside, ants had devoured the candy, leaving only faded wrappers behind. Tucked within the bottle was a yellowed, blurry photograph. Despite its condition, I could see Dolores Whyte, radiant and healthy, holding a smiling Robbie. On the back of the photo, a handwritten note read: "If Robbie takes his medicine, he'll get a candy as a reward."
At that moment, it became clear that Robbie Whyte was not the crybaby spoken of in the asylum's grim records, but a happy child once full of life, basking in the love of his family beneath the shade of the juniper tree.

The following resources related to Axe Boy were, at some point in time, present in official websites or in-game after Identity V's official release, but have since been replaced. As such, they may contain details that have since been altered or removed from the character's backstory. Their related removal date will be listed at the top of their respective section.
Character Introduction[]
Axe Boy's character introduction on the Identity V Official Website was reworded at some point before August 12th 2025. The following is the previous wording.
| In one night, Robbie had lost his spacious house, comfortable bed, delicious food… and his parents. His life is replaced by endless work and his emotionless boss. But with the help from his sister Dolores, he gradually got used to the work in the yard and gardening became his new hobby. Not long[sic], the White Sand Street Orphanage was taken over by the church and the orphans do not need to work for life. Robbie somewhat felt disappointed about that. However, compare[sic] to Dolores dose[sic] not need to beg on the street and nuns were providing warm food for everyone, Robbie’s little hobby seems less important. After all, his life with his sister was back to the right track. And that was the last memory Robbie could recall, When he woke up under the juniper tree, his sister and the orphanage was no longer exist[sic], the only thing left to him is the dead branch in his hand. Robbie could continue on doing his little hobby. |
Character Relations Background[]
In June, 2022, an unreleased Character Relations background story for Axe Boy was found in the game files. This backstory was changed slightly before its official release with the Character Relations Menu update on August 8th, 2024. The following is the previous wording.
| Overnight, Robbie Whyte lost a spacious house, a comfortable bed, delicious food, and his loving parents. Instead, they were replaced by never-ending handiwork and the apathetic guard at the White Sand Street Orphanage. Yet with the help of his sister, Dolores, he grew accustomed to the work of tidying up the yard, and pruning the juniper trees became his new hobby. Before long, the church took over the orphanage. The children no longer needed to do labor, which saddened Robbie. But Dolores didn't have to beg on the streets anymore, and the nuns kept everyone warm and fed. So what if Robbie lost his little hobby? After all, things were finally getting on track for him and his sister. That was the last of "Axe Boy" Robbie Whyte's memory. He woke up under a Juniper Tree, but his sister and the orphanage were nowhere to be found. All he had was the deadwood in his hands. Robbie could get on with his hobby again. |
Deduction Summaries[]
These are unreleased summaries found in the game files in June, 2022. As the released deduction summaries were removed when the Character Relations Menu was updated on August 8th, 2024, these have since become obsolete and likely won't ever be officially released.
| Deduction 1: Dawn The orphanage Robbie and his sister Dolores lived in was taken over by the church and turned into an asylum. Deduction 2: Curfew Conditions in the asylum improved after the church took over, but the patients were used as human experiment subjects in secret. Deduction 3: Conscience Robbie met with an accident and lost his life while climbing out a window during curfew, and it devastated Dolores. |
Canon Manor Game[]
We can gather who was in a canon Manor Game together by information in Letters and Diaries, and very occasionally from character quotes during events. However, there is currently not enough information to determine which Manor Game Axe Boy participated in.
Compiled Overview[]
Backstory[]
Much of the deduction quest conclusions are from his sister Dolores' perspective.
After losing their parents, Robbie and Dolores Whyte were put into the White Sand Street orphanage where Robbie started chopping wood. The orphanage changed owners eventually to Mr. Macallan and Sister Lorraine, and soon it was transformed into an asylum, and they were given painful and traumatic treatments.
Dolores and Robbie were separated into different rooms, and were not told why. In order to be with his sister, Robbie would often sneak into her room through the loose and broken window, which almost fell and cut his fingers multiple times. She would tell him the story of the Juniper Tree[11], which he absolutely loved and wanted to hear over and over. Unfortunately, one night when sneaking into the room Robbie was decapitated and died.[12]
Alternate Theories and Conclusions[]
- Robbie's sister, Dolores Whyte has a series of theories and conclusions that can be found on her page.
- It is theorized that Dolores Whyte might be a future identity switch for Robbie under the "Identity Switch" mechanic.
- Dolores is mentioned to be carrying an axe, likely the same one Robbie is seen using.
- In Robbie's Character Day Furniture, the shadow behind him was in the form of Dolores. With most other characters' furniture having shadows showing either themselves or their switches, it has been speculated that this is a hint towards her being his switch.

With help, he is revived and takes revenge on his stepmother before being reunited with his father and sister. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Juniper_Tree_(fairy_tale)
- ↑ Combining information from the deductions and his 2021 letter, we can gather that Robbie was decapitated by the heavy window (which had accidentally been left open) to Dolores' room while trying to visit her, specifically on April 25.
- ↑ Mentioned in the 2020 Christmas Nocturne event in Robbie's dialogue
- ↑ A practice starting 17th and 18th centuries and originally based on the 'Bath of Surprise', and which is always centered around dousing the patient in considerable amounts of ice-cold water
