Jule Vernier

Professor Jule Vernier is a Hunter and a staff member at Beacon Academy, heading the class of World Technology. A former classmate and decade-long colleague of Professor Ozpin, Professor Jule is one of Beacon's most controversial residents, having returned to teaching this year from a twenty-year exile, fueled by two factors: his refusal during the Great War to allow the use of a superweapon developed from his studies and his determined petitioning for Hunters to be replaced by more autonomous and robotic counterparts, so that society no longer has to send its children into danger. The former angered the authorities of the Four Kingdoms and the latter was not well-recieved by the Hunter guilds, who had lobbied for Jule's exile in retaliation.

Furthermore, in my fanfic, where Penny is an android, Jule Vernier was the one who came up with the concept of her when he was writing papers for his dual Doctorate, though she never came to fruition due to technological constraints. As a result, Jule Vernier is, or at least regards himself as, Penny's 'father'.
