A skilled surgeon who knows the Healing Touch and performs operations live for the TV show "Miracle Surgery". Highly critical of Caduceus.


 * Cooking Duel: Bizarrely, a surgery duel.
 * Fake Ultimate Hero: He unveils his Healing Touch (slow-time flavor) to much fanfare, but it appears to be rather weak... he can't sustain it for long, and it's implied Markus's is much more effective.
 * Insufferable Genius: A deliberate example: he's convinced himself that if his criticism forces Valerie and Markus to improve, then it will have served its purpose. Since his criticism is completely off-base, however, this is delusional on his part.
 * Smug Snake: He makes no attempts to hide the fact that he doesn't think much of Caduceus, and thinks of himself as the greatest surgeon in the country.
 * Wearing a Flag on Your Head: Not in the actual game, but in his profile picture on the official site, his tie has an American flag pattern.
