Robert "Bob" Proctor is one of the most important figures in
Daniel Larson's life, having known him since childhood. Bob has been Daniel's mentor, and was one of his greatest financial
enablers. Bob took on the impossible task of becoming Daniel's guardian, an undertaking which exposed him to the full force of Daniel's
anger management issues, and poor financial habits. Bob is also known for being involved in some of the most infamous incidents in Daniel's life, most notably the
December 10th incident and
August 31st Incident. He also served as a convenient scapegoat to blame whenever Daniel needed one, as well as a player in Daniel's delusions, as trolls would constantly impersonate him to gain influence over him.
Bob has served as a patron for Daniel's music career, paying for the production of his most famous song,
"Roaring Thunder," and encouraged his further musical endeavors. Even so, Daniel has done nothing but take his generosity for granted by frequently
getting into arguments with him,
assaulting him, and wasting away the money that Bob gave him (
at one point even buying a fleshlight with money Bob had given him to spend on essentials).
Bob is keenly aware of Daniel's social media activity and, consequently, has repeatedly requested Daniel not to film or record him, citing concerns about potential harassment from
trolls. At one point, Bob even asked Daniel to refrain from using his phone altogether due to Daniel's irresponsible behavior on social media. Obviously, Daniel has not respected these wishes, once even getting into a physical altercation with Bob which ended up in the authorities having to be called.

On Christmas 2023, Bob had ceased providing financial support to Daniel and was thought to have cut off Daniel permanently. However, during the wake of the
Second Jail Arc it was revealed by
Flexburger that Bob had come back into contact with Daniel, and every time Daniel mentioned him after Christmas 2023 was not a lie.
