Appearance and Personality
Qada is a round, fat man with short brown hair. He has diamond-shape brown make-up around both his eyes.

Story
Prior to the game, Qada was among the Anticrystalist invasion force that conquered Eternia. Made a member of the Black Blades, the act deemed by its leader Nobutsuna Kamiizumi as senseless, Qada became notorious for developing the Toxic Mist poison that wiped out ten thousand Shieldbearers at the cost of a thousand Swordbearers. Regardless, having gathered the corpses to study the results of his word, Qada also served a military medic and healed both sides fort the purpose of experimenting on prisoners of war.

During the course of the game, after being defeated by the Agnès's group, Qada faked his death and intended to leave Eisenberg to make plans to overthrow the Duchy. However, his ranting caught Kamiizumi's attention, subsequently causing Qada to be cut down.

In the fourth world, Qada meets with his like-minded associates Fiore DeRosa and Erutus Profiteur in the Eternian Command Center's dungeon after finishing the virus he specially made virus for their scheme to wipe out the Duchy leadership while the salve-master gets giddy over fame as the hero who provided the cure or the monster who unleashed a deadly disease. However, warned by Einheria Venus, Edea Lee and her friends take out the three and lock them in a cell. By then, Alternis Dim arrives and reveals that DeRosa's conspiracy has been revealed by members of the Bloodrose Legion and that three will remain in the cell until Braev Lee delivers their sentence.

Battle
Qada may be fought several times over the course of the story, and is first able to be battled as part of a subquest in Chapter 3. Defeating him awards the party with the Salve-Maker asterisk.
