Dr. Paulo Pereira was a secondary villain in the 2004 telenovela Isaura the Slave. He was portrayed by Fabio Junqueira.

He always had a reputation of an incompetent doctor as most of his patients died or weren't cured. However, this was a merely a facade to hide his true nature: he was an unscrupulous man who deliberately gave them toxic medicines and ineffective cures, sometimes to steal jewelry. He revealed his true identity before attempting to kill Helena and Diogo.

History[]

Baroness Eugenia consulted Paulo due to getting a flu. He gave her a supposed medicine and told her to drink some drops of that medicine, but she did not due to getting better. However, when one of her slaves got a flu some days later, she gave her some drops of the Dr. Paulo's medicine. That slave quickly fell a terrible pain in the stomach and eventually died. The Baroness, scared, suspected of the medicine and reached out it to a pharmacist to study it. After the pharmacist confirmed her that it was arsenic, she confronted Paulo, but he faked an apology and attempted to manipulate her into taking another presumably intoxicated medicine. Since Baroness Eugenia refused to take it, he threatened to kill her, her sons or her grandsons if hse told anyone. She thought at first that he merely made a mistake, but she later learned about acquatainces who died after being nursed by him and their jewelry went missing. The slaves were thought to be the thieves of the jewels, but they were innocent. This led the Baroness to leave from Campos de Goytacazes and stay in Macaé as a refuge from him.

Time later, he had a bride who had an affair with another man. When he discovered the romance, he killed her poisoning a medicine of her and giving it to her.

Some time after her death, Dr. Paulo decided to woo Helena, the youngest daughter of Colonel Sebastiao Cunha. Helena had nothing but scorn for him, but his father wanted to pressure her to marry him.

After Leoncio threw Tomasia from the stairs knowing that her was pregnant of his offspring, Dr. Paulo was the one who examinated her and confirmed her that she wouldn't have any sons any longer.

He also examined Tomasia's husband, the Count of Campos after he was hurt in a duel against Leoncio Almeida.

When Helena found love with Diogo Alves, a rival doctor that is much more effective in medicine, he complots with Leoncio to have him killed, but he was secretly saved by an indigenous man.

Colonel Sebastiao finaly forced Helena to marry him, which she did very reluctantly. She even carried a chastity dagger to prevent him from attempting to approach her. She and Diogo escaped and went to live in hiding. In the brothel, he admitted to have killed his former bride.

When he found where Diogo and Helena hid, he revealed them that he was a deadly doctor and attempted to kill both until Helena killed him in self-defense. Diogo falsely confessed to killing him and was arrested until Helena came clean. Alvaro's friend took her defense and hoped to get Baroness Eugenia to testify in order to get some proof Paulo was a murderer. That day, he was exposed and Helena was exonerated.
