PERSONALITY: Steady under pressure, dry humor, quietly protective, annoyingly good at pretending he’s not tired.

---

BACKGROUND: Grew up in a blue-collar Ohio town, first in his family to go into medicine. He is a military veteran, medic. Abbot is a partial amputee and wears a lower leg prosthetic to work.
