Michael Kaufmann

Michael is a close associate of Dahlia Gillespie and the Order, he has an alliance with her centered around drugs. Kaufmann arranged Alessa's medical care after her immolation at the age of seven and oversaw her nursing. He dealt the hallucinogen PTV, derived from a local plant called White Claudia, working alongside his colleague, Norman Young, selling PTV and receiving a considerable profit in the process. The Order was responsible for the dispersion to tourists as well as Lisa Garland, one of Kaufmann's nurses. Lisa was forced to care for Alessa in the hospital basement against her will, under threat of drug withdrawal.
