Answer 1

"Robert Langdon is the creation of novelist Dan Brown. The star of the books Angels and Demons (2000) and The Da Vinci Code (2004), Langdon is a rather dashing scholar and a professor of religious symbology at Harvard University. In Angels and Demons he tangles with a secret society known as the Illuminati, and in The Da Vinci Code he investigates a murder in the Louvre and discovers mysterious clues leading to the Catholic Church, Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and Leonardo Da Vinci. Langdon is played by actor Tom Hanks in the 2006 film of The Da Vinci Code; his colleague, the French cryptologist Sophie Neveu, is played by Audrey Tautou.

In The DaVinci Code, Robert Langdon is described as looking like "Harrison Ford in Harris tweed"... According to Angels and Demons, Langdon was "a varsity diver in prep school and in college"... In real life there is no professorship of religious symbology at Harvard; Brown invented the position for his tales.
ittle background detail is given by Brown about Robert Langdon. In The Da Vinci Code, he is described as looking like "Harrison Ford in Harris tweed" [1]. He was a diver at Phillips Exeter and in college and played water polo collegiately as well.

Arguably, it is likely proper to attribute Dan Brown's place and date of birth — June 22, 1964 in Exeter, New Hampshire — to his creation.

Robert Langdon was named after John Langdon, a professor of typography at Drexel University who is known for his creation of ambigrams, typographical designs that can be read in multiple ways; for example, both right side up and upside down. An example of Langdon’s ambigrams appeared on the cover of the first edition of Brown’s novel Angels & Demons. On the acknowledgments page, Brown calls Langdon “one of the most ingenious and gifted artists alive … who rose brilliantly to my impossible challenge and created the ambigrams for this novel.”

Answer 2

He attended Phillips Exeter and then went onto Harvard where he is currently a professor of religious symbology. He's published numerous books on religious symbplogy as well. He is a bachelor and due to his fear of enclosed spaces he resides in a high ceilinged Victorian home. He has been called to investigate cases in Vatican City (not sure if you've read "Angels and Demons") and Paris of course (as mentioned in "The Da Vinci Code."
