“I shall cure you, depriving of every disease and injury you possess.”
- Plague Doctor's Entry
Plague Doctor (O-01-45) is a humanoid creature that wears a round top hat, a plague doctor mask, and a long black cloak around his body. His arms are replaced with black wings that extend down his sides. His attire is similar to that of a European plague doctor during the 14th century, when the bubonic plague broke out.
Ability
Plague Doctor's ability will trigger when its Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. It can decrease by:
The ability needs one Agent to be in its containment unit. If it was triggered by its Good result, the agent finishing the work will be the target of the ability. Otherwise, a random Agent will be possessed and brought to its containment. If the possessed agent dies, another will be chosen afterwards. Its ability consist in performing a 'Baptism' on the employee, taking some time to perform before the effects are applied. So passing the day, a reset, memory repository, or exiting the game occurs before the baptism finishes, the effects, everything bellow, will not be applied to the employee.
When the baptism is finished, an old-fashioned clock will appear on screen, and the name of the employee who was baptized will appear beside a number in increasing order, starting from 1 up to 12, along with some text at the bottom. In addition, the employee will be given the E.G.O. Gift "Bless", that increases all the stats by 6. The employee that was added to the clock and has the Gift on them cannot work on the Plague Doctor. Resetting on the same day that the Agent(s) received the gift will remove it, but the clock counter will remain and the agent will still be unable to work with Plague Doctor.
Plague Doctor's appearance will change as it blesses more employees, and will remain in its current appearance and remember how many employees it has blessed, even in new runs starting from day 1 and restarting back to previous checkpoints.
When the Plague Doctor has 'Blessed' twelve employees, it transforms into WhiteNight, and mutates all twelve blessed employees into Abnormalities/Minions called Apostles. The same clock of before will appear, moving the camera to each employee blessed in order, transforming them. After the Plague Doctor has transformed, the player is no longer able to change the speed, open the manual, or open the game menu until subdued, ends in Game Over or the day ends. The clock only appears when WhiteNight transform. From that moment on, it will no longer appear when breaching.
Plague Doctor may switch containment rooms randomly with any other Abnormalities, each Day, after a retry, return to Memory Repository Day. This may cause confusion, annoyance in some departments. The change is at the start of the day, in the Deployment Phase, so the player can check the Abnormalities and change agents if Plague Doctor swapped with another Abnormality.

E.G.O. Equipment
Story
- "Black fedora and beak mask. Huge black wings instead of arms or legs. Capable of human communication, though it prefers not to talk a lot. It came to this facility by itself, claiming that the world has contracted a dreadful disease which only it is able to cure. We could not find anything about this “disease” it’s referring to."
- "It seems to like treating employees when they are injured or sick. It shows satisfaction when helping others and seems quite sympathetic and benevolent. Even after a week of observation, we found no aggression, violence or attempt to escape. Only contributing to assumption that this abnormality is eminently “gentle” (12 of our employees used this word to describe this creature) and good for us."
- "Employee Alex, who had a serious scar on his forehead while subduing Magical girl, walked into this abnormality’s chamber with his scar not completely healed. The abnormality, which is normally not loquacious, started talking as soon as it saw the employee’s scar.}"
- "Observation record_1
The abnormality asked.Why have you not treated that scar?”
Alex said.
I had no time so I just gave it a little bit of first aid.”
Then the plague doctor answered.
“I shall cure you, depriving of every disease and injury you possess.”
Alex came out of the chamber with his scar completely healed."
