| “ | Ah, forget it. I'll use the same plan that's made me the rich man I am today: if you're short on great ideas, "borrow" someone else's! | „ |
| ~ Bob Roth |
Bob Roth is a minor antagonist in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. He is the owner of the music company Bob Roth Records, the father of singer XY, and Jagged Stone's producer.
In "Ephemeral", after his coin falls into the canal, Bob is akumatized by Shadow Moth into Moolak, a golden safe supervillain.
Personality[]
Bob is very arrogant and greedy, as he only cares about money and fame, which is shown in "Guitar Villain" when he asks Jagged Stone to change his style to match that of XY, in order to sell more albums. He'll be dishonest in order to get his way, lying to Marinette when he asks her to create Jagged Stone's new album cover, which Jagged Stone requested, and tells her to base it off of the previous cover test design that is similar to the style of XY's promotional artwork. However, while begrudgingly, he does back down if he is threatened, not wanting to lose Jagged Stone's sales or deal with the wrath of his pet crocodile, Fang.
In "Silencer", he is shown to be cowardly, hiding behind Marinette when being threatened by the titular villain or when he used Ladybug as a shield to defend himself against Silencer at the cost of the heroine losing her voice. His dishonesty also continues when he refuses to admit that he stole everything from Kitty Section and isn't afraid to blackmail others to get them out of his way, meaning that he is also pushy and forceful towards others to do their job like with Ladybug. Once out of danger, he is also boastful which led to him carelessly revealing the truth on live television. Also in the aforementioned episode, he is a father who spoils his son XY whom he indulges and has never taught XY any morals or ethics as he always allows his son to steal other singers' ideas.
Overall, Bob is a very arrogant, cowardly, greedy, and corrupt businessman, who only cares about money, and being "number one" at the music industry, while forcing Jagged Stone to do things his way, stealing Kitty Section's ideas (which are the costumes that Marinette designed for the band) and music and having his son XY plagiarize their works as his own, additionally not teaching his son any morals at all. He also threatened to falsely accuse Marinette and her friends of plagiarism and ruin their reputations, which is what drove Luka to become akumatized by Hawk Moth into Silencer.
