Firtho (Doctor): The Medical Lancet

Silver Palace has revealed the official character title page for Firtho, confirming her class as Doctor. Her tagline reads: The Medical Lancet.

Who is Firtho?

"Dispensing drugs, performing surgeries, chemical analysis, forensics... I'm the only person in this city who meets all your needs, no?"

The title page's flavor text is short, and lets the job do the talking:

A reliable examiner, a doctor, and a close friend.
She lives alongside death day after day, performing dissections and autopsies, bearing witness to the final testimonies of the deceased.
Cares not for pity, debts of gratitude, nor farewells.
Life is but a fleeting tide upon the river of the departed.

What the title page tells us

This one is a rotating model showcase rather than a flat illustration, and the nameplate does the useful work: "FIRTHO | DOCTOR" above four stars.

The rest is just a good look at her. Cream physician's coat, red high collar, black gloves, surgical instruments where a belt should be, and an anatomical heart pinned behind her shoulder. There is blood on her sleeve. She is clearly not between appointments.

If you want those instruments identified one by one, the Firtho design breakdown already did that.

One change worth flagging: her earlier title page used a different quote, "Life has not been kind to me. Death, on the other hand... has been a truer friend." Same tagline, but the new copy swaps the fatalism for a sales pitch.

Confirmed Stats

Firtho is one of only two Survival & Healing characters in the preview roster, alongside Gratia, and both carry the Guardian Identity. Her kit runs on a Special Serum resource that she spends to heal and buff the team, paying part of the cost in her own HP.

Skills

Amputation Saw (Basic Attack)

Press the Basic Attack button to perform a combo of up to 4 hits, dealing Radiatio DMG. Upon triggering a Perfect Dodge, press the Basic Attack button to immediately unleash a Lv. 2 Charged Attack, dealing DMG and interrupting enemies.

Charged Attack: Lv. 1: Hold the Basic Attack button to unleash an attack dealing Radiatio DMG. Lv. 2: Hold the Basic Attack button to unleash a powerful attack dealing Radiatio DMG.

Pursuit Attack: After Dodging or during a Dash, press the Basic Attack button to unleash a Pursuit Attack, dealing Radiatio DMG.

Second Heart (Skill)

Press the Skill button to consume 2.5 Special Serum, dealing Radiatio DMG. Hold the Skill button to consume 10 Special Serum, draining HP every 0.2s; releasing the Skill button deals Radiatio DMG and increases the ATK of all characters on the team by 1.5%. Stacks up to 8 times and lasts 40s. During this, all characters on the team are healed over time, and all but Firtho also receive an instant heal. Parrying while holding the Skill button and draining HP immediately triggers a fully-charged Skill, consuming all Special Serum. Max Special Serum: 10. Special Serum gained per second: 1.

Visage of Death (Ultimate)

Upon reaching full charge, press the Ultimate button to swing the amputation saw in a powerful blow, dealing Radiatio DMG.

Law of Exchange (Tactical Assault)

Switch in the selected character while having sufficient Reactor Energy to deal Radiatio DMG.

Pain Management (Passive)

Reduces the team's DMG taken by 20% during Second Heart's buff.

Second Heart is effectively the whole kit. Holding it drains her own HP to build a team-wide ATK buff that stacks to eight and runs for 40 seconds, with regen for everyone and an instant heal for every character except her. Pain Management then layers 20% team damage reduction on top for as long as that buff is up. Her Ultimate and Tactical Assault are plain damage by comparison, which tells you where your button priority goes: keep the buff alive, and treat the saw as filler.

Psyches

Five of the six Psyches key off the Charged Skill, which confirms the read above: the fully-held Second Heart is the rotation, not an option.

The doctor who lives beside death

The title page describes someone who bears witness to "the final testimonies of the deceased," which is a coroner's job description as much as a physician's. In the Dichotomy Beta she is both, and the campaign gives her more screen time than most 4-star characters get: she runs the corner clinic, she does the autopsy that cracks the opening case, and she gets a full personal case of her own.

Where "Miss Mortis" comes from

Her father was Irwin, a Royal Academy scholar. The nickname was coined by his colleagues after he revealed the secret autopsies his daughter had been conducting in her youth. By her own account she was reclusive and unsociable then, barely spoke, and preferred to hang back in the shadows watching the scholars argue. When they started calling her Miss Mortis she voiced no objection, and the name stuck. She inherited her father's patients when he died, and she still answers to the name decades later.

What she does for the Detective

Two things, and both matter to the plot. She brews the stabilizer that soothes the Detective's mind and suppresses their recurring nightmares, which is the only reason they stay functional as the case deepens. And she performs the autopsy on the burned body in the opening Nameless Ashes case, the one that establishes the corpse was burned after death and belonged to an adult, not the much younger journalist everyone assumed. That single finding is what proves Grimm faked his own death. As the Detective puts it, without that autopsy they would have been forever in the dark.

She is not free about it, either. Her price for the autopsy is that the Detective recover the cargo a gang stole from her clinic first, which turns out to be the stabilizer shipment.

Her own case: the Williams Manor "vampire"

It opens on a detail rather than a summons. Firtho leaves a scalpel behind at the office, which is so unlike her that the Detective goes looking. The corner clinic is locked and empty in the middle of opening hours, and what she left behind reads as a trail: a crumpled letter from a maid named Sydney about a Mr. Williams in extremely poor health, a spilled vial with drag marks from something heavy, and graveyard mud on the doormat. The Detective works out that she dragged a body bag to the Cathedral of Illumination, and finds her there at the grave.

Howard Williams was a pharmaceutical scholar, her father's fellow student, later her father's patient, and then hers. She kept his chronic liver condition in check for years until, six months before his death, his household wrote to say he no longer required her services and did not wish to see her again. Then Sydney's letter arrived. By the time Firtho reached the manor the family were already carrying the body out, calling it a heart attack in a man who had shown no cardiac symptoms half a year earlier. All she managed to see was one arm under the sheet, and along the sleeve a bloody gash roughly four centimetres long with the skin around it turned purple.

So she exhumed him. The autopsy shows purpled skin at the face, lips, ears and nail cuticles, a bitten tongue, and pinpoint hemorrhaging consistent with asphyxiation or an allergic reaction. What it does not show is the wound. It is simply gone, and she will not accept that she misremembered it: "No faked wound, no dye, paint or otherwise would ever work to fool me. It was real."

Then werewolves hit the cathedral and drive them off the body, and it costs Alf her chocolate cake. Worse, when they go to the constabulary for help, Superintendent Rex informs them the grave has been robbed and the corpse is missing entirely, with witnesses describing a brown-haired woman in a white coat and a silver-haired man in a top hat. Firtho had only taken an arm. Somebody else took the rest, and the two of them are now the prime suspects, barred from the cathedral and refused police support.

Their way back in is Baron Edgar, a Royal Academy administrator who sponsored Williams's research and who greets Firtho as Miss Mortis on sight. She returns the compliment with an edge: he "remains the picture of youth," something that never ceased to intrigue her father.

The self-experiment

The manor turns up Williams's late symptoms, and they are not liver failure. He could no longer stand lamplight and had the lamps dimmed, he ate less and less, and he wanted his steaks rarer. He had been researching vampires, and two of his concoctions had gone missing: a red transformation serum and a yellow nerve agent built on tetrodotoxin alkaloids.

Firtho does not wait for a controlled trial. The Detective finds her in Williams's laboratory with no pulse and no breath, a needle puncture in her arm ringed with purple bruising. She had injected herself at midnight, felt consciousness go at 2:40, was entirely gone by 3:00, and could not have woken for four hours. She wore the mask too, to test the transformation serum, and reports that little happened.

Her defence is completely characteristic. Testing the nerve agent was "a necessary means to solve the case," gaining an understanding of unknown medicines is "one of a doctor's duties," and it is her responsibility if she intends to be a doctor worthy of working with the city's greatest detective. The Detective's reply is less measured: "You idiot."

What her data actually proved

It cracks the locked room twice over. If the nerve agent can counterfeit death convincingly enough to fool a doctor with her hands on the body, then the corpse the household found at 3pm was never Williams. It was Jackal the butler in the vampire mask and Williams's clothes, having smothered Williams at noon and taped the real body into the closet. Williams had hidden a letter opener in his mattress against the day his son came for him, and he drove it into Jackal's arm during the struggle, which is the gash Firtho saw and the reason it had vanished by the time she autopsied the actual corpse.

Her second measurement is the one that catches the real culprit. She recorded that the nerve agent leaves the muscles too weak to do much of anything on waking, which means Jackal could not possibly have clawed his own way out of a coffin, walked back to the manor and swapped the bodies. Somebody dug him up. Baron Edgar held the only other set of manor keys, took Williams's coat and shoes as a disguise, moved the corpse, freed his accomplice and reburied him properly, and set the werewolves on the cathedral the moment he recognised Firtho and the body bag she was carrying. His motive is not money but hygiene: Williams had embezzled research funds, and Edgar considers eliminating "defilers of the truth" a duty owed to the Academy.

Firtho gets the last word on him, and she does it with her day job. Edgar's werewolves cannot be fooled by a substitute corpse because a werewolf's nose is not fooled by anything, unless the person supplying the corpse spends all her days researching them. "You said so yourself, Baron." Edgar, cornered, offers something close to affection: "Little Miss Mortis, standing forth to defend another. People truly do change." Irwin, he says, would have loved to see her emerge from her cocoon, no longer a loner with only a scalpel for company.

Which is the whole point of the new title page copy. "A reliable examiner, a doctor, and a close friend" is not three descriptions of a job. It is the order she acquired them in.

Her Survival & Healing and Guardian labels sit alongside the rest of the roster in the Combat Style and Identity guide, and the Firtho build guide covers how to actually play her. The clue-chaining she does in the clinic is the same system covered in Curious Deductions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Firtho's class in Silver Palace?

Doctor. Her official character title page names her the Doctor of The Corner Clinic, tagged The Medical Lancet.

What is Firtho's quote?

"Dispensing drugs, performing surgeries, chemical analysis, forensics... I'm the only person in this city who meets all your needs, no?"

What is Firtho's rarity and element?

Firtho is a 4-star Radiatio (Light) character with a Survival & Healing Combat Style and a Guardian Identity. The nameplate on the reveal shows four stars.

What faction is Firtho in?

The Corner Clinic, the practice she runs in a quiet, forgotten district of Silvernia. Her signature weapon is a saw cleaver paired with syringes.

Is Firtho a healer?

Yes. Her Skill, Second Heart, is the team's sustain and buff engine: it heals the whole party over time, grants everyone but Firtho an instant heal, and stacks a team-wide ATK buff up to eight times. Her Passive adds 20% team damage reduction while that buff holds. She pays for it by draining her own HP.

Why does Firtho damage herself to heal the team?

Holding Second Heart drains her HP while it charges, and the fully-charged version is what every one of her Psyches is built around. It fits the character: she wears a life-sustaining device for a congenital illness and refuses to be treated as a burden.

What is Firtho's personal case in Silver Palace?

The Williams Manor case, a locked-room death staged to look like a vampire killing. Her former patient Howard Williams, a pharmaceutical scholar and her late father's fellow student, is found dead of an apparent heart attack. Firtho exhumes and autopsies him, discovers the wound she saw on his arm has vanished, and ends up a suspect when the corpse is stolen from its grave.

Why does Firtho inject herself with a nerve agent?

To time it. The Williams case hinges on whether a tetrodotoxin nerve agent can counterfeit death, so she injects herself at midnight and records the result: unconscious by 2:40, no pulse or breathing by 3:00, unable to wake for four hours, muscles weak afterwards. That last detail is what exposes Baron Edgar, because it proves the butler could not have escaped the coffin unaided.

Who is Miss Mortis in Silver Palace?

Firtho. Her father's Royal Academy colleagues coined the nickname after he revealed the secret autopsies she performed as a child, when she was reclusive and barely spoke. She never objected to it, so it stuck.
