Who is Dr. Robert Bellarmino from Next and what is their importance?

Robert Bellarmino is a Christian who happens to be a scientist. Bellarmino uses his Christian views to promote science while at the same time making excuses for the types of experiments that go on every day throughout the world. In private, however, Bellarmino is an unpleasant man who often steals credit for other's work and takes ideas from the grant applications he often reviews in his position at NIH. Bellarmino is a hypocrite with as many enemies as he has friends. Bellarmino is at an amusement park one afternoon working on an experiment that tests for a specific gene in people who like to ride roller coasters when he is shot by a man who is confused by his intentions.
