Who is Doratea Benedetti from Pattern Recognition and what is their importance?

Dorotea is a fairly highly placed person in the graphics design world and partnership of Heinzi & Plaff. She is a serious woman who is out for herself, and she has absolutely no problem stepping on everyone around her to get to the top. Dorotea lacks any sense of compassion or conscience, which means she has no feelings of guilt or remorse when her actions or behavior have a negative impact. She is very comfortable with working for two sides at once, playing one off the other for her own personal benefit. She is brisk and impatient, both qualities showing through even on her answering machine message.
