The Professor has existed for 2.76 billion years. He traveled through space for the first 175,960 years of his existence, floating aimlessly and silently. One day (or night, time does not not exist in space) he was hit by a comet. Seeing as he is a puppet, he is unable to die and as a result was stuck in front of the comet as it hurled toward Earth. He landed undestroyed on Earth, likely in what is now known as northern Greece. With the inability to control his limbs, the Professor remained motionless for many years.

One day, a small child named Antonius picked up the Professor. They had a nice chat and told each other their life stories. The Professor lived with Antonius for the rest of his short life, as he died at the age of 7 from a mysterious plague. The Professor lay for the next 40 years, until he met a new child. This cycle of having a friend and then them abandoning him occurred an innumerable amount of times, and with each day that passed the Professor learned much more. He would listen to every story that passerby would say, and delighted in hearing what was happening in the world.

He did travel around a bit with each new person, but it is known that in 1518 he resided in Strasbourg, a town that is in what is now eastern France. In the episode titled "The Dancing Plague" he was extremely passionate about the fact that the hail was the size of apples. If he did not live there at the time he likely would not have known about the size of the hail.

In 2019, Shane Madej met the Professor. It is unknown how the two met, but Shane listened to his many stories. He decided to create "Puppet History" to help the Professor tell the world about the many things that he learned.
