Prior to joining the [[M.F.S. Scottish Division]], Doctor Know accrued the title of [[Grand Mayoral Authority]] of [[Knowhereseville]]. He also served as “co-writer of the ''[[Necronomicon]]'', editor of ''[[Necronomics for Dummies]]''”, and “writer of the video essay ‘[[The King in Yellow is a Bad Play and Here's Why]]’”.

Around the beginning of the 20th century, he was headhunted by the [[Great Higher-Up]]s, but declined to join their numbers, not wanting it to interfere with his other responsibilities. He would nevertheless later apply to join the [[Guardians of Time (925th Universe)|Guardians of Time]], though his email went without reply. By this time, he was already teaching at the [[Royal College of Oz]] as “[[Professor Nowitall]]”, living under Monarch [[Pastoria]], in what was then known as [[the Central City]]. He grew bored, however, of this fairly stagnant era of Oz's history, and began looking for replacements.

He grew bored, however, of this fairly stagnant era of Oz's history, and began looking for replacements. [[Northern Cardinal]] [[Gayelette]] eventually helped him to realise that no living Ozian who would be up to his standards would be likely to ''want'' the position, prompting him to create a successor out of whole cloth — or, as the case may be, having dismissed the option of a living scarecrow or a [[Frankenstein]]-style construct, out of a clutch of [[wogglebug]] eggs that happened to catch his line of sight in a corner of his rather derelict laboratory. Experimenting ruthlessly upon them for decades, he eventually managed to create “[[Professor Wogglebug (925th Universe)|Professor Wogglebug]]”, a sapient, talkative, human-sized wogglebug. | ||
On the day when he finally unveiled the now-adult and fully-educated “Professor H. M. Wogglebug, T. E.”, Doctor Know coyly “told his students that the lecture would be taught by a substitute for the day”. Visible annoyance made way to stark horror as the students caught sight of their new Professor, but “as the lecture started, and the auditorium started to calm down, their reactions quickly switched from grossed out to engrossed. The Doctor had never felt so proud of someone other than himself until that moment…”. He would go on to officially consider Professor Wogglebug his son, often interceding with the monarch of Oz to get him out of trouble. He also home schooled him, passing on his typical verbosity to the creature.
