Dr. Tristan Adams

Background
In "Roger Ebert Should Lay off the Fatty Foods", Dr. Adams uses his "star machine" to hypnotize people into loving and volunteering for the planetarium.
He almost got away with it, but Eric Cartman, pissed off that nobody saw the Cheesy Poofs TV advertisement he was in due to everyone being hypnotized, breaks the machine, resulting in Dr. Adams getting a full dose of the "stars". With no one to tell him what to do, his mind was erased. Due to a bone disease, he cannot pronounce the "t" in "planetarium".
Appearance
Dr. Adams has many wrinkles in his face and is balding. He wears the standard uniform at the planetarium: A black shirt with a light blue V-neck shirt with a dark cloud and sun on it.
