Doc

appearance

Doc was unusually skinny and looked extremely unwell, considered as the personification of unhealthy. He had black hair with bangs cut at equal length across his forehead similar to Motojirō Kajii. He had a stitch on his upper right cheek, just below his eyes. He also had sharp teeth and a bandage wrapped around his neck. He wore a white coat over a dark low-neck shirt, sweatpants, and slip-on shoes. He also donned a belt from where a pocket hanged, containing some medical tools inside. He always carried an IV pole with him, complete with an IV bag and a drip injected to his wrist.

Personality

Doc had a personal belief that saving lives would get him closer to God and was driven by his passion to save lives. Nonetheless, despite the amount of people he had saved, he had also purposely robbed as many lives in his line of work. Doc believed that "that every life saved brought him that much closer to [God]", which became the foundation of his motto. He doesn't speak much.

Skills

Master Physician: Doc was a top-class physician even among his talented peers in the Mafia's medical division. Despite his youth, he had saved about eight hundred lives, though he also purposely robbed about that many lives. He also killed many people with poison. Physical Prowess: Though he was not active in the field of combat, Doc was capable of reacting at quick speeds at par with the other Flags. For instance, he was able to pull out a syringe and press it against Chūya Nakahara's temple as swift as the other mafiosi during one incident.

background

Doc graduated in North America and was awarded with a doctorate. He became a doctor with the reason of wanting to get close to God. In order to achieve his aim of saving two million people, the same number that God killed in the Bible, Doc joined the Mafia and waited for an all-out war where countless people would die. Together with Piano Man, Albatross, Lippmann, and Iceman, Doc surprised Chūya and congratulated him for his first-year anniversary in joining the Mafia. For their gift, they gave Chūya a photograph of him in his childhood, and Doc also gave him various files after claiming to have sifted through dental and other medical records. Afterwards, the Flags played billiards in their usual place, where an unknown man suddenly joined them. The Flags engaged with the man named Adam, suspecting that he was an ability user and may infiltrate the Mafia facility, more so after learning that he was a detective. However, this misconception was soon relieved once Adam revealed that his mission was to protect Chūya and arrest an assassin named Paul Verlaine. The seven soon continued playing billiards, though Adam eventually picked Chūya up away from the pool hall, much to Doc's bewildered amazement. During Chūya's absence, Doc and the other Flags were "summoned" by the boss, Ōgai Mori, but they were actually ambushed by Verlaine. Chūya returned soon after, where he found Doc amidst the other corpses. A dying Albatross had clutched Doc by his collar, unknown to him that Doc's body was separated from his lower body that couldn't be found.

Legacy

A funeral was held for Doc and the other Flags the following day after their deaths. He would later appear in a trance-like vision to Chūya alongside the other Flags. Additionally, Doc and the Flags were buried in a well-kept graveyard near the mountains, which Chūya frequently visited after the King of Assassins Incident.[1]

Quotes

(To the Flags) "Heh-heh… People may lie, but dental records don't." (To Chūya Nakahara about poisoning his drink) "Not at all. Poison wouldn't be enough to kill you." (To Lippmann) "Heh-heh… What a wonderful speech. That's Lippmann for you… I have to wonder how many women have been fooled by that silver tongue of yours…"
