A big, burly man and one of the many people from the orphanage Kinderheim 511 that Johan controls. He admires Johan very much, and often acts as Johan's bodyguard and henchman. He is also a professional hitman with substantial proficiency. While Roberto knows nothing about his own past, it is hinted that he is the nephew of a former high-level STB officer named Karl Ranke as he bears a strong resemblance to the latter. Ranke relates the story of his sister, who along with her husband was shot trying to cross the Berlin Wall into West Germany. Only their son, Adolf Reinhart, survived the attack. As Adolf's legal guardian, Ranke signed papers turning his nephew into the custody of Kinderheim 511. Wolfgang Grimmer may be the only person who remembers him and also considered him as a friend during their time at the orphanage (Grimmer remembers that one of Adolf's favorite drinks was hot cocoa). However its never been stated in Monster or in Another Monster if Roberto really is Adolf Reinhart, only that he could be but at the same time he most likely isn't. He was shot by Tenma in chapter 73 and seemed to fall over a balcony into a sea of flames, but he comes back in chapter 108 as an attorney for Tenma under the name of 'Alfred Baul', still faithful to Johan, although much thinner and his right arm largely useless. However, it should be noted that while he appears loyal to Johan, he doesn't always do what Johan wishes. One example would be when he first meets Nina Fortner, while its clear Johan wishes no harm to his sister. Roberto left her to be killed in the hands of his men, meaning he sees his actions justified to protect Johan. He appears the most out of any of Johan's henchmen in the series and is a recurring enemy. He later becomes one of the major players during the Ruhenheim Massacre where he is mortally wounded by Lunge, but kills Bonaparta before succumbing to his wounds stating that he "still can't see it" to Johan. First seen in Chapter 37.
