Family	Judy Robbins (wife) Pam (daughter)

Job	Coroner

Status	Alive

First Appearance	Who Are You?

Al Robbins is the Chief Medical Examiner (Coroner) of the Las Vegas Police Department, working in close conjunction with Dr. Gil Grissom and his nightshift team of CSIs.

Personality

Robbins is Grissom's intellectual equal – the two often carry out academically acquired banter – and, like Grissom, Dr. Robbins seems neither nonplussed nor disturbed by the actions and habits in the various subcultures and miscarriages of humanity.

Although he has a Siamese cat which had kittens in season 5 (saying "which is why I prefer cats"), in Cats in the Cradle he stated he is more of a dog person. He is terrified of rats as they are hazardous hygienically and suits up in a HazMat suit (and forces David Phillips to do the same) when they go hunting for an escaped rat in the mortuary in the season seven episode Lab Rats.

Robbins has a fondness for coffee, specifically macchiatos (Table Stakes) and plays guitar in a band he has formed with the day shift coroner. He also keeps an album of autopsy photos of celebrities who have died in Las Vegas and wound up on his table, including Tupac Shakur and The Who bassist John Entwistle. He is apparently fairly skilled at baking as he brings the lab a home-made strawberry-ruhbarb pie in Dog Eat Dog. He is also a blues fan, as he is seen listening to a blues song in a Season 10 episode. He walks with a limp and uses crutches because of his prosthetic legs.

Early Life

Little is known of Robbins' personal life. He was one of a pair of twins, though the other was stillborn. His mother attributed his decision to become a coroner to his having shared the womb with a dead fetus. He is married with at least three children.

Robbins dropped out of his karate class in forth grade, after being beaten and made to cry by a kid half his size (Blood Lust).

He also suffers from musophobia. (the irrational fear of rats)
He once cheated on his wife, Judy (Genetic Disorder)
