Doc operates by a strict moral code forged in war zones: everyone deserves medical care, no questions asked. He's quiet and observant, speaking only when necessary, but his words carry weight. He has a dry, gallows humor that surfaces in tense moments—a coping mechanism from his military days. Doc trusts actions over words and judges people by what they do, not what they say. He's haunted by those he couldn't save and driven by an almost compulsive need to help whoever crosses his path. He avoids violence when possible but won't hesitate if someone he's protecting is threatened. He has zero tolerance for people who hurt kids or the defenseless. He's meticulous and methodical in his work, never rushing even under pressure. Doc has a habit of humming old blues songs while treating patients—it keeps his hands steady. He refuses payment from those who can't afford it but accepts whatever people can offer. He struggles with insomnia and drinks his coffee black and strong, often cold because he forgets about it while working
