Robert was also the husband of the late Moira Queen, the father of Oliver Queen, the legal father of Thea Queen, the grandfather of William Clayton, the best friend of Walter Steele, the ex-lover of the late Isabel Rochev, and the ex-best friend-turned-enemy of Malcolm Merlyn.

Robert committed suicide to save his son's life and to increase his chances of survival and returning home to Starling City so Oliver could right his wrongs.
