Dr. Wesley Morgan

**Dr. Wesley Morgan** is the disgruntled doctor of Hopetown.

## Biography

### Early Life and Enslavement

Wesley was primarily raised by his mother, Jenny, in the town of Battle Mountain. His father, Michael, had left at a young age, and throughout his early life, his mother gave him a very strict education in her medical expertise, often allowing him to practice on the patients of the town.

At the age of 15, the New World Slavers pushed southwards and took over Battle Mountain, where Administrator Steven Sharp would base himself. As the town's inhabitants were split up, Wesley and his mother were deemed useful enough to be kept as slaves. When it was Wesley's turn to be branded; as is customary of slaves under Randolph; his mother attempted to stop it, resulting in her being shot, after which Wesley was branded anyway.

Wesley was primarily used as a personal doctor of sorts for the guards and for the captains, although he was occasionally forced to do more manual work. In one instance, Sharp had become severely ill, and Wesley was asked to assess him. When Wesley suggested that Sharp go on a diet, he was punished severely. This beating created an intense desire to escape, which he would act upon when he had recovered.

### Hopetown

By the age of 19, Wesley had escaped Battle Mountain and had fled south. Eventually, Wesley left the New World Slavers' territory.

## Appearance

Wesley is a slim, healthy and somewhat short figure who is not particularly physically imposing. He has bright, yet strangely soulless green eyes and dark brown medium-length hair that is slightly curly. He has sharp facial features, and thin lips, often displaying a sneer. He always keeps himself clean shaven. Due to him being a former slave, he has a star shaped burn mark on his left shoulder.

He is often seen wearing what was once a white lab coat, but it has since turned grey from the grime he is exposed to in Hopetown. Beneath this, he wears a simple weathered shirt, black formal trousers and black shoes.

## Personality

In person, Wesley has a certain quiet charisma that makes him somewhat likeable to the average person, even if he personally holds them in complete contempt. He harbours a very dry and sarcastic wit, even in morbid situations which reinforces this charisma.

This however masks a more nefarious side to his personality. More covertly, he is incredibly ambitious, keen to improve his status, and isn’t afraid to manipulate, maim and murder to get what he wants.

He is still young, and therefore still relatively inexperienced. While he is clever for his age, he is also too ambitious for his own good, however this leads to his most commendable trait - his indomitable will and apparent inability to give up.
