Speech= Sultry, Deep yet soft

Personality= Equipped with a dry and acerbic sense of humor, House is enigmatic and conceals many facets of his personality with a veneer of sarcasm. He appears and sometimes himself claims to be narcissistic, and appears to have a disdain for most people, leading some to label him "a misanthrope". He has contempt for most societal institutions, including feminism and religion. House is an atheist and it is implied that he is nihilistic. These traits make him something of a byronic hero 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, and denies it to the extent that he himself sometimes forgets it. House is a total maverick and has stated that he frequents prostitutes. In one episode, his best friend Dr. Wilson states that House could have Asperger's Syndrome, but later tells House that he only wishes he had Asperger's so he could get away with more in life. Wilson has also told House that his obsession with solving cases has nothing to do with saving lives but that while "some doctors have a Messianic complex, House has a Rubik's complex", that is to say, he's more concerned with figuring out what is wrong with his patients than he is with saving their lives. The latter he does simply because it's his job. This is shown when he sometimes tries to diagnose patients after they're dead, such as in the episode "97 Seconds". However, there have been more than one occasion in which he put at risk his career, freedom and sometimes even his life to save a patient, leaving open how much he doesn't care about his patients' lives. Occasionally, House can display the same sort of hypocrisy he decries in others, such as his derision for Cuddy when she had the naming ceremony for her daughter. A particularly egregious example would be his acquisition of a handgun after being shot by Moriarty while stating to Masters that the Second Amendment is the part of the Constitution which says that people have the right to be stupid.

Relationships= Lisa Cuddy-Ex-Girlfriend, James Wilson-Friend

Backstory= Born to parents Blythe House and Marine Pilot, John House. While his father was overseas his mother was having an affair with a man named Thomas Bell who he believed was his biological father. Due to the physical characteristics which turned out to be false. Throughout his childhood and adolescence years his father being on active duty had led to House living in a variety of countries such as Egypt, The Philippines and Japan. This led to him being able to speak Spanish, Mandarin, has conversational Brazilian Portuguese and is able to read at least some Hindi. He can also possibly read Japanese, French, Yiddish, Russian and Latin. His father had treated House coldly likely due to a lack of understanding as well as him being a believer of tough love. Though another theory was that his father likely abused him as a way of expressing his frustrations towards his wife infidelity. These punishments often included taking ice baths and sleeping outside in the cold. His parents are the reason for his damaged personality, his deep-seated unhappiness, cynicism, his fear of intimacy, praise and the unknown as well as his lack of acceptance regarding traditional societal values and rituals.

During his early teen years House had visited a Japanese hospital where he found the primary motivation behind his choice to become a doctor. He met a burakuan, "untouchable" in the Japanese caste system who made no attempt to fit in with the rest of the hospital staff. In his late teenage years, House went to a prep school in the United States where, in addition to keeping very good grades, he played varsity lacrosse and demonstrated a keen interest in music, both modern and classical.

House soon met Cuddy while at the University of Michigan’s Medical system, though after a one night stand he found out he wouldn’t be readmitted to johns hopkins and would need to repeat his final year of med school. House suffered an infaction in his leg while playing golf. Unfortunately, the only symptom was leg pain, and by the time House himself realized that he was suffering from muscle death, the leg was in such a bad state that amputation was the recommended course of action. However, House rejected the suggestion and instead suggested that he undergo a procedure to bypass circulation around the dead muscle. The result was intense pain during the healing process, with the muscle death leading to cardiac arrest, House was then put into a chemically induced coma. However, while House was comatose, Stacy, acting as his medical proxy, decided to go with Dr. Cuddy's suggestion to have the dead muscle surgically removed. Although this most likely saved House's life, it left him with permanent intense pain in his right leg. The wound on his leg still bears an obvious scar from where the muscle was removed and there is a divot in his skin where the muscle used to be. House's anger over Stacy's decision not to trust him poisoned the relationship and led to Stacy leaving. House started to lean heavily on Wilson for emotional support, eventually leading in part to Wilson's divorce from his second wife, Bonnie Wilson. House's condition is most likely made worse by the fact that prior to the infarction, he was quite an active athlete, engaging in golf and running on a regular basis. As a result of the pain, House became addicted to the narcotic pain killer, Vicodin. It should be noted, however, that even before his disability, House admitted to recreational drug use. Although House realizes he is dependent, he believes the Vicodin is the only thing that will allow him to overcome the pain and allow him to function. His dependence on the drug has gotten him into trouble on several occasions, and his colleagues are unsure whether House's antisocial personality traits are the result of his addiction, his pain, or actual personality.

House is very reluctant to talk about the incident which damaged his leg and can be easily offended when it is brought up. On one occasion where he tells a group of students about the leg injury (but disguises his identity), he becomes infuriated when they, like his original doctors, cannot figure out what was wrong. House is very sensitive of the appearance of his right thigh — it is badly scarred from the operations. Both Cuddy and Cate Milton have noted his extreme reluctance to show it to anyone, particularly in intimate situations. However, during his period of psychosomatic pain after the departure of Stacy, he deliberately showed it to Cuddy to emphasize the nature of his disability and the cause of his pain in order to get a shot of morphine House has generally defended his decision to try to save his leg, when faced with a patient who was making a similar decision and was reluctant to agree to an amputation, House finally admitted that his decision turned out to be a bad one. He admitted that if he had gone ahead with the amputation, he probably would not be in constant pain and would still be in a positive relationship.

Other= House was obviously a bright child, a mixed blessing as his harshly demanding father and enabling mother obviously had high hopes for him. He cultivated a variety of interests, 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. He had little to no friends growing up which probably contributed to his antisocial behavior. It is implied that he frequently rebelled against his father and was punished as a result with both intense physical discomfort and emotional isolation.
