Turner Grey

Turner Grey was Grey Surgical Clinic's doctor and director. He was the murder victim in a plot to usurp the position of the Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique.

Malpractice incident
In 2016, there was a malpractice incident at the Grey Surgical Clinic in which 14 in-patients died. Grey blamed a nurse, Mimi Miney, for the deaths. He claimed that she had mixed up the medications, which had resulted in the deaths.

On May 24th, Mimi and her sister Ini were involved in a car accident. Only Ini came out alive, though her face had to undergo reconstructive surgery. Some believed that Grey was responsible for the accident.

Death
A year later, the clinic was doing badly. Fewer and fewer people were attending. In desperation, Grey asked Ini (who was studying the occult at college) about hiring a spirit medium to call Mimi's spirit, and Ini recommended Maya Fey, future Master of the Kurain Channeling Technique. He intended to make Mimi take the blame for the malpractice incident by signing a written confession. Grey also wanted Mimi to write a statement that her death was due to her own negligence and not due to him. This would be Fey's first channeling and so she agreed only to perform it if she saw Phoenix Wright again, and so Grey found Wright and brought him to Kurain Village.

In actuality, Ini was actually Mimi, who had tricked her surgeons into giving her Ini's face. Because of this, Fey's channeling would fail if it proceeded, and Mimi feared that Grey would figure out the truth. To this end, with the help of Morgan Fey, she hid in the channeling room, knocked Fey out, and stabbed Grey. Grey survived the stabbing and attempted to shoot Mimi with a pistol, but he missed, and Mimi shot him in the head with the pistol, killing him.

Personality
Grey was the type of person who liked to pass the blame onto others, whether it be the weather girl or his clinic staff. He didn't care that Mimi had died or even that 14 of his patients had died; he was only upset that Mimi had died before taking the blame. He came across as a rather irritable individual and Wright noted that he wouldn't like to become a patient of his. Grey also tended to try and out-compete people. When shown Wright's badge, he dismissed his profession as being saintly in comparison, and when Wright commented that Fey Manor seemed nice, he again dismissed it and claimed that he would have his own, far greater grand mansion someday. Lotta Hart's research into him revealed him to have been a controlling man, who would yell at nurses and patients if they didn't do what he wanted. Nevertheless, he was a skilled surgeon.

Name

 * His name may be a play on "turning grey" which is certainly what his hair is doing, possibly due to the stress caused by his job. Turner Grey may also be a play on "turn her grey" which could also be a reference to the deaths due to malpractice he was involved in.
