Dr. James Adler

Age: 37
Erupted: March, 2009

Appearance: A tall, slender man with gaunt cheeks and piercing blue eyes, Dr. Adler wears his dark hair in whatever loosely cut style he happens to produce by running his fingers through his hair in the morning. Tends to dress in whatever shirt and slacks combination comes most readily to hand, seldom wears a tie and only semi-regularly his lab coat. He walks with a noticable limp, and his manner varies between abrasive and distracted at any given moment. Never without three things: his cigarette case, his cane and an old silver dollar he tends to roll between his fingers while thinking.


General Knowledge: A major celebrity of the medical profession (and a minor one outside of it), Dr. Adler was one of the best doctors practicing in the fields of diagnostics and infection diseases, as well as one of the most talented surgeons in the United States, before his eruption. Since, his offices at the Massachusetts General Hospital have become the national magnet for cases too weird, too difficult or simply too complex for anyone else to handle. Neither fame nor eruption, however, have done anything to temper Alder's notoriously abrasive personality or biting sense of humor.
