At a very young age, Newt's parents decided to try their hands at geneform modifications with him as a guinea pig. The modification was a success and gave Newt enhanced sight. He never fully realized until he was older that his sight was greater than an average person. His parents later forced Newt to study medicine to follow in their footsteps. They hoped that his success in the field would bring some kind of recognition to their family. Unfortunately for them, Newt had his sights set on helping himself rather than the family. The people living in the Gutter District needed health care, too, even if they couldn’t afford it. While in medical school, Newt started to venture into the Gutter District to survey the black marketeers and the customers and clients they served. The money exchanged there was catching Newt’s eye. He donned a bird mask he made, called himself Dr. Quackshot, and set up a small little stop in the Gutter District selling drugs and offering medical and surgical help to those who needed it. People paid a hefty sum of cash for the drugs and paid for their medical visits with gossip and information. If a patient didn’t have the money to pay for a full procedure, Dr. Quackshot would claim a favor from the person. Some of Quackshot’s more intimidating and repeated customers gave him protection from the authorities or other dangerous individuals in exchange for his drugs and medical attention. It was a pretty fair deal for Newt, who never really learned how to fight others. Being Dr. Quackshot was a decent side job for Newt while he continually cycled through classes in med-school. The mask he wore in the Gutter District protected his identity, making it easy for him to live his double life. Once he graduated from med-school, Newt became a full doctor at a hospital on the edge of the Medical District close to the Gutter. Despite having a busy job as a doctor, Newt still managed to find the time to help the people who needed him in the Gutter as Dr. Quackshot. Working in the Gutter District had its perks. Newt learned the subtleties of interpersonal relations and communication, often managing to barter for the best payment from his patients and clients. Why shouldn’t Newt learn such tricks of his trade? He was providing many people in the Gutter the drugs and medical attention they so desperately need. He often met some of his clients at the Rotten Plug in the Gutter District. It was a populated place and offered some veil of safety for the drug-dealing doctor…
