Roberto is a professional killer who admires Johan Liebert above all else. He is known for his calm appearance, masterful acting, and ability to naturally approach his targets. Roberto is a key figure in carrying out murders that aid Johan's goals, often erasing anyone who may threaten Johan. His mysterious identity, forgotten past, and shocking loyalty to Johan make him stand out in the story.
Roberto is often called "the large man" due to his big build. He has a calm face, which helps him approach people without raising suspicion.
He appears gentle and trustworthy because of his calm look and great acting skills. However, Roberto is truly ruthless and will do anything for Johan Liebert, including killing innocent people. He is loyal, smart, and deadly.
Roberto was raised in the 511 Kinderheim, a harsh orphanage that shaped many children into emotionless adults. He has forgotten his life before this time, including his real name. His true name is Adolf Reinhardt, and he is the nephew of Karel Ranke. As a child, he loved cocoa, art, and bugs, wishing to become an insect scientist and hated killing insects. Wolfgang Grimmer, a friend from Kinderheim, described him as a gentle boy who liked drawing and loved cocoa.
Roberto is a skilled murderer and an expert at acting and blending in. He can gain the trust of his targets quickly, making him very dangerous.
He is deeply loyal to Johan Liebert and follows his every command. He interacts with many of the story's main characters, often as an enemy.
Professional Murderer for Johan
Roberto works as an assassin, eliminating people who search for Johan Liebert’s real identity or get in Johan’s way. He excels at acting and can get close to his targets naturally, winning their trust before completing his missions.
Encounter With Anna Liebert and Eva Heinemann
Roberto appears as the bodyguard of Muller, the man who murdered Anna Liebert’s foster parents. He even tries to kill Anna herself. Later, Roberto targets Eva Heinemann after she sees Johan’s face but loses his chance because Eva tries to use Roberto as a weapon against Kenzou Tenma. However, her feelings change, and Roberto’s attempt fails.
Clash With Kenzou Tenma
Roberto tries to attack Kenzou Tenma at the Munich University Library, fighting him and attempting to kill Hans Georg Schuwald. When Roberto realizes his mission has changed to killing everyone involved, he feels overjoyed. During this chaos, Tenma recovers and shoots Roberto, who falls from the second floor but survives as the bullets only hit his right arm.
Hidden Identity and Return
After being wounded, Roberto disappears for a while. He returns disguised as "Alfred Baul", playing a lawyer and threatening Eva’s life again. His real identity—Adolf Reinhardt, nephew of Karel Ranke—is revealed later.
Last Stand in Ruhenheim
Roberto is found hiding in a hotel in the town of Ruhenheim, leading the massacre of the town's people. He fights fiercely with Heinrich Lunge and, even though he gets seriously hurt, he knocks Lunge out. Roberto shoots Franz Bonaparta, who tried to shoot Johan, and with his dying breath, begs Johan to "show him the final scene." Roberto then dies.
Both the names Roberto and Alfred Baul are fake. He cannot remember his real name or life before leaving 511 Kinderheim.
As a child in 511 Kinderheim, Roberto loved cocoa, drawing, and insects. He did not like collecting bugs because he did not want to kill them. He dreamed of being an insect scientist when he grew up.
