Professor Bob is probably one of my favorite people to draw XD
I remember his came from a friend I used to talk to a LONG time ago. When I explained to her the Professor's role (he was just known as "the Professor" abck in those days) she suggested to me to name him Bob, to be funny XD And his name has stuck ever since.
Professor Bob is a kind of minor character, more of a support character. He adopted Kalon, under the premise that sometimes the hopeless cases turn out to be the brightest prodigies. but alas, Kalon turned out to be a complete failure on Professor Bob's part. But his adoptive grandson Ken goes on to be the Professor's prodigy. He also acts as a sort of adoptive father to everyone in the older generation, especially Caza, kalon and Dimi, while still stepping in to help Ryo and Leo. He also is the one who takes Roxanne into his home once she is liberated from the Razada House and gives her a job.
Professor Bob is the genius of Hollow and the richest man there. He does anything and everything in the field of schience and technologies and rediscovers the automobile and soda for the BAHD world. It should be noted that Professor Bob frequently sprays Kalon with a water gun when he finds Kalon smoking in the house. He's kind of extreme.
Can you tell that I love the inherent genius characters? XD
