Appearance and personality
The professor is an old man who is mostly bald with white hair and glasses.

The professor is obsessed with giant robots, considering A.G.W.S. mere children's toys. He can often be found shaking and comes off as rather paranoid, initially believing the party members to be spies. While he is able to recruit an assistant, Scott, his alcoholism drives him away. Eventually he learns the errors of his ways though and reunites with him.

Episode I
The Professor can be found in the basement of the A.G.W.S. Part Shop in the Kukai Foundation, a place he calls the Foundation Robot Academy. Any member of the party can come here to meet him. When first arriving, he appears quite nervous at first, but recruits the party to help find robot parts scattered across the universe so he can build an invincible giant robot. The party is able to bring him the robot part legs, arms, head and body respectively and get a powerful ether spell for Shion each time. The Professor eventually gets an assistant, Scott, but due to his constant drinking he gets in an argument with Scott and fires him. While he initially denies that he is worried about Scott, when his lab equipment stops working the Professor realizes the importance of the power of friendship and that Scott is needed. The party is able to find Scott at the Iron Man Bar and bring him back to the Professor. Together they create the giant robot Erde Kaiser.
