Mental characteristics
Personal history
Little Jackie always dreamed of being a doctor, but his family never had the money needed to send him to medical school. So he took the nearest work he could get as an orderly at the Harlem Hospital. Despite his menial duties, he watched and learned what he could, all of which stood him in good stead during the war, where his quick thinking and first aid skills helped save numerous lives.
Back home, Pvt. Wallace returned to work at the hospital and was among the first to put his name down for the nurse’s training program when it opened there in 1923. Although he’s been passed over before due to his age and sex, it has been strongly hinted that, if he stays out of trouble with the police he’ll be joining the next intake.
Roleplaying hooks: aware that his one chance to become a medical professional is slipping away, Wallace is wary of getting involved in anything that could put an end to it forever. He will help the investigators as much as he can with background information, and potentially medical assistance, but that’s as far as it goes.
Social
Mannerisms
Calm, caring, and observant, Wallace has good instincts when it comes to judging people and knowing how to take care of them.
