Dr. Saotome

Dr. Saotome is a character from Getter Robo and is a supporting character in The Knights of the Multiverse. He is the father of Michiru Saotome and the creator the Getter Robo series of robots. After being shown the true extent of what Getter Rays can do by the Guild of the Multiverse, he joined their ranks to force his creations to "reach their true culling".

Personality
Though he use to be very compassionate and gentle, as he has continued to delve deeper into the study of Getter Rays, Saotome became more distant from his family & colleagues, and started conducting more... interesting experiments with the use of Getter Rays, including the creation of Ruri. He's become very self-centered, being quick to berate anyone who think differently than his ideals, even his own daughters. This attitude reached its apex when the Guild members showed him the extent of Getter Rays' powers, finally pushing him to madness and wanting to see it for himself.
