Personality[]
In his role as a station attorney, A.J. Dobbs was initially presented as an affable-yet-dutiful businessman, described as "the cool-head during [a] tough time" by his secretary, Meghan. He seemed primarily concerned with maintaining the operations of the radio station, managing each crew member and ensuring they go to their required meetings. While he did address rumours of a curse to Mystery Inc., he did so in a calm, disinterested manner, seemingly unafraid of any threats to the station.
However, he is revealed to be very motivated by pride, as he deems a clip of him having a pie thrown in his face in his childhood to be humiliating to his reputation. As such, he participated in a very long, arduous plan lasting several years just to destroy all records of the clip in order to preserve his reputation. As shown by his crimes as the ghost clown, he is quite reckless in doing so, as he sabotaged a television station and terrorized its crew.
History[]
Early history[]
Dobbs was a child actor appearing in the Pazzo the Clown Show, a children's show appearing on the television channel QTTT. In an iconic scene in the show's opening credit sequence, Dobbs had a pie thrown in his face by the show host, Pazzo the Clown. Dobbs would later find this clip of him humiliating, so he participated in a long plan to destroy all records of the clip, and by extension all traces of the show, from history. After graduating from law school, he was employed by the QTTT station as the station attorney. To prevent the station from getting any municipal protection Dobbs rejected all of the contractor's applications to declare the station a historic landmark. He also destroyed all tapes of the show from the video archives.

Season one[]
QTTT held its annual telethon, hosted by celebrity comedian Kenan Thompson, so Dobbs created the ghost clown disguise to sabotage the event. Based on an urban legend claiming the station to be cursed, Dobbs posed as the ghost of Pazzo the Clown to terrorize the film crew. Dobbs first appeared as himself speaking with Mystery Inc. upon their arrival at the station, where he explained to the group that the station was cursed by the ghost. He appeared as the ghost clown shortly after as they investigated the now-abandoned set of the Pazzo the Clown Show. However, he was captured after he attempted to interrupt the telethon while it was on air.
Dobbs unmasked.
After Mystery Inc. played the offending clip from his childhood, he attempted to escape by retreating to the rooftop and climbing the radio tower. However, he fell off the tower and he was captured, exposed, and subsequently handed over to authorities for his crimes.
