The Professor (real name Haksheen White) is a character from Xenosaga. He is a genius scientist who graduated at the top of his class at the Bormeo University. His assistant is Scott.
After graduation, he was scouted by Vector Industries and a number of other top-tier research and development companies. He rejected all of the offers, however, and disappeared.
He met Shion Uzuki and the others after establishing the dubious research facility known as the Robot Academy on the Kukai Foundation. Later, that fateful meeting became the key to accomplishing his dream of creating an indestructible giant robot, Erde Kaiser.
