Professor Rowan

Professor Rowan is the head Pokémon professor of the Sinnoh region, and his particular field of study is Pokémon Evolution, having discovered that 90% of all Pokémon are connected in some way to others through Evolution. He is also interested in determining the meaning and purpose behind Pokémon Evolution. He has a stern, jaded, and gruff personality that makes him seem intimidating and mean, but he is actually very kind and gentle, and is surprisingly easy to fluster; he somewhat fits the tsundere archetype. Rowan says he still feels a thrill whenever he travels anywhere with his Pokémon. He has a sweet tooth, as the refrigerator in his laboratory is full of nothing but sweets and candy. He is sixty-three years old and has an ex-wife and adult son, and also has two teenage laboratory assistants named Dawn and Lucas. He used to be Sinnoh's Pokémon champion in his younger years. His lab and home are located in Sandgem town. Professor Rowan has fair skin, blue eyes, and spiky white hair with sideburns and a mustache. When he was younger, he had dark brown hair.
