Emmanuel Dante DeSalle
|
DeSalle is a Lieutenant (O-2) in the USMC, born October 11, 1981, in Albany, New York, USA to an American-Italian family. His Daemon, in the Shape of a sleek Jack Russell Terrier, is named Gioia ("joy") - something which a lot of people think is contradictory. His mother is American and his father Italian, and so DeSalle is fluent in both their languages. He also has an affinity for languages in general, and has studied French and German and, as of late, Ancient (which always comes in handy). He's part of AR-4 as a medic, and though he is no M.D., he can handle and treat acute battle injuries.
DeSalle is often perceived as gloomy, dark, sarcastic and broody. Which often enough he is. Despite being a medic, he's not much for bodily contact, and his bedside manners are rather sharp and harsh. He can seem kind of terrifying, especially when angry, being a towering 6'4" (which is why Lt Kemp sometimes refers to him as "The Hulk"), but is a teddy-bear at heart. Especially around kids. He needs coffee in the morning and at a steady schedule to be able to function properly. Because of his middle name, and his morose nature, Kemp often calls him DeeDee (which sounds somewhat chirpy and fluffy, if you ask him). The nickname hasn't really caught on since no one outside of the team wants to risk calling him DeeDee to his face.
