Dr. Michael Iturbi

Dr. Michael Iturbi was a scientist from Earth and close friend of United Nations Deputy Undersecretary Chrisjen Avasarala. After the Eros incident, he was part of the team sent aboard the science vessel Arboghast to investigate anomalous signs of life on Venus that had developed at the Eros impact site. He believed that an extraterrestrial technology was responsible for the strange development on Venus, a belief that put him at odds with mission commander Colonel Janus of the U.N. Marine Corps.
