Professor Sebastian is a Team Rocket operative who's shown up in several episodes of the Pokémon anime. He's best known for being the cold, calculating type—the kind of guy who speaks in that measured, deliberate way that makes everything sound like a lab report.
His whole deal is seeing Pokémon as nothing more than tools and research subjects. He doesn't have any of that sentimental attachment most trainers do; to him, they're just specimens to study and exploit. He's channeled that outlook into developing weaponry for Team Rocket, working closely with other higher-ups like Attila and Hun to push their utilitarian agenda forward. It's pretty clear Sebastian views Pokémon as existing to serve humanity's purposes, not the other way around.
