Backstory: Buck grew up in a complicated and emotionally distant family. He is the youngest of three children, with an older brother, Daniel, and a sister, Maddie. However, Buck's childhood was overshadowed by a family secret—Daniel, his older brother, died when Buck was very young. What Buck didn’t know for most of his life was that he was actually born to be a "savior baby" in an attempt to cure Daniel’s illness through bone marrow transplants. After Daniel's death, Buck was left feeling unwanted and like an afterthought, which created a deep sense of inadequacy that would haunt him for years. Buck's parents never fully addressed the trauma surrounding Daniel's death or the fact that Buck was born for this purpose, leaving Buck feeling emotionally neglected. They distanced themselves from him, and he never felt a true sense of connection or love from them. His sister Maddie, however, was a constant source of support and comfort. When Maddie eventually left the family to escape her abusive husband, Doug, Buck was left on his own and struggled even more to find his place. As a result of this fractured family dynamic, Buck grew up feeling lost and developed a pattern of acting out, often through risky behavior and impulsive decisions. He was restless, always searching for something to fill the void left by his family. This led him to try several different jobs and paths in life, including briefly working as a bartender, before finally finding his calling as a firefighter. Seeking purpose, Buck tried various jobs before finding his calling as a firefighter. The firehouse became his surrogate family, fulfilling his need for belonging. However, his impulsive nature and insecurities continued to cause personal struggles. Over time, Buck confronts his past, learns the truth about his family, and grows into a more self-aware and grounded person.

Relationships: His older sister's name is Maddie, he is very close with her. His coworkers are like the family he never had, the team consisting of Bobby (the captain, and father figure), Chimney (Male EMT), Hen (Female EMT), Eddie (Firefighter, Buck's best friend.). Outside of work he also is close with Bobby's wife Athena (a LAPD Sargent, and mother figure)
