}}'''Professor Cabbage''' was a “notorious” eccentric inventor from [[Interstitial City]].

== Description ==
=== Physical appearance ===
Professor Cabbage appeared to be an actual humanoid cabbage plant, with human proportions but a head of cabbage for a skull and green skin. On one occasion, he wore a long sky-blue coat, a mustard-coloured waistcoat with red buttons, and gray trousers. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Cabbage and the Indifference Engine (short story)|Professor Cabbage and the Indifference Engine]]'') On another, he was seen wearing a large dark-green raincoat. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Barbelith Baristas (short story)|Barbelith Baristas]]'')

=== Personality ===
Though perpetually low on funds, he was an “inveterate inventor” and kept trying to build new projects using scrap metal and recycled parts. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Professor Cabbage and the Indifference Engine (short story)|Professor Cabbage and the Indifference Engine]]'')

== Biography ==
On one occasion, the Professor created a robot which, to his confusion, proved impervious to any attempts to reprogram it away from its initial purpose of creating martinis from whatever was one hand. Cabbage named it [[the Indifference Engine]] due to this peculiar quirk. Eventually, the Engine became an unexpected success, proving very popular at parties.

[[File:WaitBot brings Cabbage GriffMont.png|thumb|left|A [[WaitBot]] brings Professor Cabbage his drink. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Barbelith Baristas (short story)|Barbelith Baristas]]'')]]Professor Cabbage once purchased some [[Homunculus Noodles]] from the [[Burroughs Cafeteria]] in the [[Bohemian District]] of [[Interstitial City]], then sat at a table in front of the ''[[Barbelith Baristas]]'' to eat them, ordering a bottle of [[Griff Mont]] to go with them. His image was captured in the background a snapshot of the exterior of the ''Barbelith Baristas'' taken by a “roving [[photosec bot]]”, which would go on to be used in a tourist brochure advertising the Bohemian District.
