Ah, a test subject! Would you like to take a test, my friend?— The Professor upon first encountering the Chosen One.

The Professor is a scientist living in the town of Broken Hills in 2241.

Background[]

The Professor appears as a bemused man in a lab coat with an insane gleam in his eye.[1] His work revolves around the creation of intelligence-boosting chemical compounds and applying them to test subjects.[2] He managed to create an intelligent spore plant named Seymour and an intelligent radscorpion.[2] He also claims to have helped to develop a method for easy mass-production of Mentats and other drugs,[3] as well as having created the game of chess.[4]
