Backstory
Patrick Fitzroy was born to Liam Fitzroy, a dentist by trade, and his lovely wife Kathleen in August of 1847 in Tipperary, Ireland. Given that his birth was during the most deadly year of the Irish Potato Famine, both Liam and Kathleen believed their son to be a miracle and a godsend. In 1851, Patrick's
mother succumbed to tuberculosis as the family sailed across the Atlantic to find a new life in Boston. Although sickly and frail as a child, Patrick survived the famine of his home country, due to "the Grace of God and St. Patrick, for whom he was named," as his father, a very pious and charitable
man, would often tell him.
Patrick spent his formative years in Boston's impoverished North End, helping his father eke out a living plying his dental trade with young Patrick's assistance. Being a quiet and shy boy, Patrick found himself spending more time with animals than with children his own age, often bringing home injured and sick animals, which more often than not recovered miraculously.
In 1861, with the outbreak of the Civil War, Patrick's father enlisted with the 28th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry as a dentist and surgeon, with the quiet and bookish Patrick in tow. "God brought us to America for a reason, my lad, and it's our duty to do God's Will," his father would often say to him. Liam Fitzroy was killed at the Battle of Fredricksburg in December 1862, leaving 15 year old Patrick an orphan with no family and no home beside the Union Army.
Shortly after the death of his father, Patrick was transferred to the 2nd Regiment of Cavalry, Massachusetts Volunteers, a unit made up of men from both Massachusetts and California, and sent to serve as an assistant to the unit's veterinary surgeon. It was in this role that "Doc" Patrick found a modicum of peace, spending his quiet moments tending to the horses and reading his father's Bible, despite the war that continued to rage around him. Eventually, he grew tired of the constant and senseless violence, sin, and degradation that surrounded him and deserted his regiment to head out west. He still doubts anyone ever noticed his leaving.

[OOC] I thought that we weren't using Guts as a skill. That's why Jed doesn't have it. Can we get a clarification?
