Personality

Lachlan has a happy and humorous personality. He likes to have a joke and has no issues with being at the expense of other people's amusement, growing up often the brunt of his best friend, Patrick's, practical jokes. Lachlan lives a laidback life; so long as he has his music and his guitar, he's happy. It takes a lot to phase Lachlan, and he has a head to stay cool in a crisis. He keeps an active social life, drinks, though not heavily, and indulged in smoking until he recently quit when his fiancee, practicing Oncology and highly aware of cancer, asked him to stop.

Lachlan was a known flirt, and enjoys company. People have often commented on the similarities Lachlan and Patrick often exhibit in their personalities, though Lachlan was always much more calm and less excitable than Patrick. Despite leaving Scotland at the age of 12, Lachlan never lost his accent, and this can see fierce Scotland versus England debates between the two friends.

Lachlan is straight, and has no particular tastes in women, just so long as they know how to laugh and have a good time. Previously, he was certainly not famous for having serious relationships, his longest only lasting about a year which ended badly when he found his girlfriend cheating on him in their bed. His parents always said they would love nothing more than Lachlan to settle down, get married, and reproduce, but Lachlan didn't see the point if he had clearly not met the perfect girl. He believed in fate and knew when the time was right, he'd fall in love and know she was his soul mate. It seems his prediction were right when he met and fell heavily for Dr Tara Brennan shortly after arriving in Princeton.

Background

Born, bred, and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland until the age of 12, Lachlan thinks there are no finer things in life than kilts, Scotch Whiskey, and bagpipes. He was taught to play the latter by his father at a very young age, but as his interest in music grew extensively as he got older, Lachlan began playing the guitar and sing and now cannot live without music in his life in some capacity. He played for a band in high school, and did gigs at a local pub to see him through Med School. His number one relaxation tool is to sit at home with a glass of Scotch and jam on his guitar.

At 12, Lachlan - an only child - and his parents had to make the move to London when his father landed a job writing for one of London's top newspapers. Lachlan had hated the new city at first, and although his likeable and happy nature had never left him without friends, he was worried he wouldn't fit in. It was his first year in the new London High School that crossed his path with Patrick Preston. The two became inseparable and were a force to be reckoned with. Both were very similar in nature - save for the distinct difference that Patrick was gay and Lachlan was straight - and they used to cause their family and friends any number of headaches with the messes they used to get themselves into.

Lachlan had been with Patrick in Las Vegas following their High School graduation and had been the one coax Patrick into finally submitting his applications for a college position in America as a laugh. Both had never really thought deep down that Patrick would get accepted, but when he did, Lachlan had been stunned. He had already been accepted into the Med School at Edinburgh University and Patrick had plans to do nursing there also at some point. It never happened. Patrick had chosen to go to America to study and Lachlan stayed on in Britain to get his degree and specialty in Hematology. They both kept in touch regularly and caught up on Patrick's many trips home, but it hadn't ever been the same and Lachlan had missed his best friend dearly.

It had only been recently that Lachlan had considered moving to America also to practice and it had been nothing but a mere coincidence that had sent his CV to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. At the time, Patrick had still been firmly ensconced in his Virginia job and hadn't even mentioned a move. Lachlan had character reference from Patrick attached to his application, which indicated an intriguing link to the Nurse Practitioner. When Lachlan got the call about an opening for a Hematologist at PPTH, he'd jumped on it and was astounded to be accepted in the position with very little need to promote himself, but excited he was finally going to be near his best friend again after so many years.

Here & Now

Lachlan is engaged to fellow Princeton Plainsboro doctor, Tara Brennan, a resident intern in Oncology. They met for the first time at a Karaoke bar and after evidentally clicking from the word go, Lachlan kissed her out of the blue on the steps of the bar. Stunned by the connection she seemed to have with this new (and rather hot) mysterious Scottish doctor, Tara did the only thing she could - she ran and left him standing alone on the steps. From then on, their relationship could only be described as a comedy of errors. Whenever they encountered each other, it let to a heated passionate embrace with both wanting just as a much as the other to tear each other's clothes off and make to the nearest horizontal surface. But despite their chemistry, they continuously suffered classic and horrific coitus interruptus. It was close to two months after they met that they finally managed to do the deed when Tara decided to grabs the balls by the hand (literally) and turned up on Lachlan's doorstep in nothing but a trench coat and red underwear underneath that left nothing to the imagination. They didn't make it to bed, but they did complete the deed and debauched the foyer of his apartment.

While they fell for each other heavily, their relationship came with it's own fair share of rocky roads. Lachlan's past saw a pregnancy scare between the two nearly lead to them splitting up, shortly followed by Lachlan landing himself in hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Despite their tough times, they pulled through and on December 11th 2007, Lachlan got down on one knee in front of three hundred people at his best friend's birthday party and proposed to Tara with a very impressive Tiffany rock. She happily accepted.

Unfortunately, things took an horrific turn for the worst a few days later when Lachlan was shot in the hospital car park. The shooter was aiming for Tara and Lachlan reflexively jumped in front of her and took the bullet. He was in a coma for three weeks and upon waking, learned that a complication with the surgery to remove the bullet left him infertile. Together, they were left to pick up the pieces following the tragedy and time will tell what will come of the dramatic turn in what they thought was the beginning of a perfect life together.
