Talents Highly skilled doctor and surgeon, rusty but capable technician, not certified but has experience with EVA operations. Flaws Cautious, untrustworthy of unfamiliar, pessimistic at times, sometimes lacking bedside manner. Temperament Level and realistic. He can be pessimistic at times but also optimistic and tends to take things for what they are, good or bad, instead of trying to convince himself they are different or force them into a different mold more easily stomached. This makes him very good under pressure, not only short term pressure, like the heat of a battle, but the long term that is involved in such things as extended tours in space, or being on the run. Background Born during a run to the world of Troy, his parents operated a free lance cargo hauler and he was registered as a resident of the planet upon landing. Growing up he always had an interest in how things worked. First it was with his home in space, the families ship but as he grew older though id developed into a wonder and obsession with the anatomy and function of the human body, which he found to be very much like a ship or many other machines. He worked hard to get the best education he could but could not score high enough on standardized testing to gain entrance into a University. So, at the age of seventeen, he sighed on with the Colonial Military, which agreed to send him to the Colonial Medical College in return for service. His first year at the College was not his best as it was the same year his parents died do to a malfunction in their ships atmospheric controls, which caused it to fail to scrub the Co2 from the ships air. He passed thanks to the help of a girl named Mashia Kate. The two became very close and were married eighteen months later, but only for three months as she died in a shuttle craft during a visit to her family on Caprica. This left him distraught and although he continued to excel in his studies he did it to honor her memory, and shut himself off after that. He spent several years working mostly on Colonial Military ground instillation, rising to the rank of captain and serving commendably, including one incident where his medical and technical skills saved the lives of five other officers, earning him a medal for valor. This, and his experience with space led him to be stationed aboard the Valhalla as it's Chief Medical Officer. Despite the fact that he was usually solitary and avoided making friends he did make friends with some of the ships crew and developed a good relationship with the Commander. He was promoted to major during his second year of service aboard Valhalla. Two months before the attacks by the Cylons.
