Roberto Katze

Roberto Katze (ロベルト＝カッツェ) is a character introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, and is the current President of the United States of America.

Appearance
A large man with a muscular physique, he has swarthy-skinned due to the fact that he is Hispanic. His most prominent feature is his swept hair and accompanying his thick chin curtain beard.

Personality
Unusual for a President, Roberto shows familiarity and openness to people nearly to the point of childishness. Although, his appearance says otherwise, he shows an intelligence uniquely his own.

Along with this, Roberto has the propensity to embellish the truth for his own gain. An example of this is when he exaggerates his father's apparent many deaths.

Background
He is the third Hispanic President of the United States. With his personality as well as his "verbal slips" on political matters, he is referred to a strange politician; because of this, his approval ratings do rather well from them, because the electorate feels more of a connection.

He is still single, although he has a fiance that he has already proposed marriage to.

Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
He debuts the third volume of Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, showing his ability with the media, regarding the aftermath of World War III. He later escapes his own security forces, aware of a strange malaise that seemingly makes previous normal people turn against America, even within the core of his government, and decides to investigate on his own. His disappearance later leads his aide to find him, who are also aware of the suspicious people in government.

Meanwhile, Roberto uses the Imperial Package to track the movements of suspicious persons, and discover a threat that could take the lives of thousands of people. He is later attacked by one of the persons who have their love ones being controlled by Saronia Irivika of GREMLIN, but is able to subdue him using his negotiating prowess. Hither, he discovers that the only thing that all the controlled people have in common are the look in their eyes, a blank and spiritless gaze. Roberto discovers that the person who attacked him is not one of those people are directly controlled, and as such is determined to use him to get behind the controller's defenses. Roberto later arrives at the Coral Street Shopping Mall, just in time to save Accelerator from GREMLIN magicians, after he accidentally used magic. He later takes Accelerator away from the chaos, where they converse about the situation regarding GREMLIN's influence in the the United States. He later divulges to Accelerator about the Trigger who then reports it back to Touma and company, regarding GREMLIN's plans to use it to erupt a volcano.

Trivia
