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. He 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. In one episode, he reveals to Grissom that in his fourth grade at school, he once dropped out of karate class because a kid half his size made him cry.

Little is known of Robbins' personal life. He was one of a pair of twins, though the other was stillborn. His mother attributed his choice to become a coroner to his having shared the womb with a dead fetus. He is married with at least two children. 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 and suits up in a Hazmat suit (and forces coroner David Phillips to do the same) when they go hunting for an escaped rat in the mortuary in the season seven episode "Lab Rats".

Robbin’s first appearance was in the Season One episode "Who Are You?". He became a series regular from Season Three.

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 walks with a limp and uses crutches because of his prosthetic legs. It is not clear what happened to him, although the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Companion[1] makes reference to his involvement in an accident with a drunk driver which resulted in the amputation of both his legs.

In one episode, Robbins baked a pie that he described as healthy and low calorie. Unfortunately, according to Warrick Brown, it was also "low on taste" and no one would eat it.
