Background
Contrary to what most of his associates believe, Jack Corbrey’s nickname “Stitches” stretches back much farther than his abbreviated stint at medical school. At the age of six, Jack was hit by a car and thrown nearly 30 feet through the air. Incredibly, he was largely uninjured, except for needing a handful of stitches.
Whatever benevolent guardian was looking over Stitches that day apparently stuck with him, as his tour as a reservist in Yemen was marked by walking away uninjured from three separate IEDs (one of which he was the only survivor). Honorably discharged, Stitches was motivated by a patriotic duty to apply to X-Com. With his medical background and military experience, his application was accepted, and Stitches’ luck was well on its way to running out.
