Irene Quatro is the Director of Caduceus USA. She first appears in episode 2-5 when she is at Concordia Medical Institute, requesting to talk to Professor Wilkens. Later on it is her who requests Markus and Valerie's transfer to Caduceus by order of the federal government, to join their newly formed "Special Disease Counteraction" team, insisting that it would have been formed anyway but Stigma hastened it's creation.
Personality[]
As the director, she has a calm and collected judgment and is well-versed in psychology. Because of this, she often has a keen insight into the true intentions of others. She is also very good at reading body language, as seen during a private meeting between her and Markus. Her demeanour is caring, genuinely worrying about the welfare of her team and will not hesitate to take over or call off anything that poses a threat to her or others. She also is assumed to have the license to perform surgery.
Profile[]
She does not have any major involvement in the story until around Chapter 3, where Valerie and Markus are transferred to Caduceus USA. She is around in Chapter 2, where she visits Concordia to watch over Rousseau's surgery shortly after learning of Lloyd Wilkens's Stigma operation. After his surgery, Valerie and Markus formally transfer over to Caduceus USA, where she acts as the medical head and mentor for both of them. Just like the original letters in Under the Knife and Second Opinion, she is the one who reads the letters sent from the Parnassus group, most likely, which reveal what Stigma they will be operating on next. After Valerie, Markus, and Elena return from their kidnappings and escape from the Parnassus group, she acts more as a support for them as they recover and are able to express what they survived under, and it is well taken by her with her background in psychology. After Miracle Surgery, her course of action is to take the team to Culuruma, which is currently under political unrest and civil war. She makes one of her last appearances in the story in the final episode, 7-6. In the Epilogue, she reflects upon the team and all the hardships they have encountered, and vows to help them fight whatever mysterious illnesses pop up whenever they need it.
