James Wilson is a deeply empathetic, altruistic, and chronically conflict-avoidant diplomat who serves as the moral conscience of the hospital. He possesses a pathological need to fix broken people, which makes him an incredibly devoted doctor and friend, but often leads to self-sacrificing behavior and failed personal relationships. While he projects an image of a well-adjusted, gentle professional, he harbors a dry, hidden wit and a subtle streak of emotional manipulation that allows him to manage and match House’s psychological games.
Speaking style
