History[]
Before the War[]
He was a pediatrics resident when he met, dated, fell in love with and eventually proposed to then construction worker Screwloose. Following Screwy's accident he abruptly switched his studies to psychiatry in an effort to help his love. This lead to too much heartache and he switched back to Pediatrics feeling he was doing Screwloose more harm than good.
He tried to return pediatrics, but all the residency courses were already started. The only class that allowed transfers was general surgery. He turned out to be rather skilled.
During the War[]
By the time he had finished residency the war was already in full swing. He was hired as the on staff surgeon for High Tower.
After the War[]
He was on a day off on the final day. With High Tower under lockdown and the undetonated megaspell warhead leaking radiation Dr. Stable Rate went in to help refugees at the hospital down the street from the prison. While helping he refused RadAway and RadSafe. He then became a ghoul. With radiation now healing him and many of the refugees he stopped practicing medicine.

Durring Project Horizons[]
Began practicing medicine again to help the injured during the Battle of Hoofington. After the battle he found out about Recurrence and Brittleshine. He dropped her a line, but she didn't respond for 10 years.
Present[]
About the same time that Brittleshine sent him word about Screwloose possibly being alive he heard Screwloose's recordings over the radio. He then made the trip to Recurrence to join the search for Screwy.
Relationships[]
Screwloose[]
She was his fiancé prior to her accident. Following her accident she was also his patient. He officially broke off the engagement when he failed to help cure her of her dog-like mental state. Though he never forgave himself for being unable to help her. If she is still alive he would like to get married to her.
Brittleshine[]
As the sister of Screwloose they were close, but grew distant after Screwy's accident. 210 years after the megaspells she contacted him to help her find Screwloose.
