Branca

Branca appears as a named figure inside Dr. Paul Stubbs' private memory—cast on the pitcher's mound in a baseball reverie that surfaces during a life‑threatening power failure. The mention registers Branca as a person of personal significance to Stubbs rather than an on‑screen actor in the operational plot: a mnemonic anchor inside the scientist's inner life. No formal affiliation, biography, or direct actions outside Stubbs' memory are recorded, leaving Branca's real‑world identity ambiguous within the episode's continuity.
