Gregory House

House was born in 1959, He is the child of Blythe House and John House. House was a bright child, talented at many things, such as chemistry, playing the piano and guitar. However, it appears that his isolation from people his age and his poor relationship with his parents led House to become something of a loner. House confides that his father repeatedly abused him throughout his childhood, making him take ice water baths and sleep outside in the cold as a way of administering discipline. He is a Board Certified Diagnostician with a double specialty of Infectious Disease and Nephrology. House has chronic pain in his left leg and is addicted to pain killers because of it. Dry and acerbic sense of humor, House is enigmatic and conceals many facets of his personality with a veneer of sarcasm. Despite his cynicism, he does seem to care about his colleagues to a certain extent and while considering them "idiots" is able to sometimes put aside his pride and apologize when he has offended them in a particularly sardonic fashion. House uses his flippancy to conceal his affection toward his colleagues, House hides most of his emotions behind his ever-present snide and witty comebacks. He receives a lot of flak for coming off as unsympathetic towards his patients and for being relatively unmoved by anything that occurs in the hospital. However, distancing himself from the emotional labor of being a physician in this way allows him to approach problems logically and with a clear-headed perspective, making him one of the best doctors around. House is a man in his late forties/early fifties with short, curly brown, greying hair. House wears a variety of blazers, trousers and sneakers, often wearing either a button-up shirt with a t-shirt visible underneath or a button-up shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned, exposing his upper chest and collarbone, along with jeans and sneakers and his iconic cane.
