I decide I would finish off this series by posting for each major character. I will be going in alphabetical order by first name. Some episode sources are missing, if you find them, let me know. So....
Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce
"He's a doctor who will never be nonchalant where death is concerned. He'll always take it personally." (1)
"Without him I think we'd all go nuts." (2)
The major protagonist of the television series is Captain Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce. He is the only character that is in all 251 episodes of the television series and the movie. The name Hawkeye came from his Father's favorite character in the book Last of the Mohicans (3) which was the only book his Father ever read (4). In the television series, he becomes the chief surgeon (5).
Hawkeye is an eligible bachelor who is after all the nurses at the 4077th. He believes he is the ultimate ladies’ man. Nevertheless, even women take a back seat to the career he loves, medicine. He would have gotten married in med-school, but the patients would always have been his first priority.
He is totally dedicated to saving lives and, as much as he wants to go home, he will stay in Korea as long as he is needed. Despite his objections to violence, Hawkeye can become very violent when he is riled. He hates people who use slang terms to describe people -- especially Koreans. He doesn't care for people who try to glorify the war. He is opposed to guns and refuses to even touch one. He never knuckles under to authority, even if a gun is pulled on him. "He has no respect for his superiors and is deliberately kind to those beneath him." (55) He does often ask permission to follow his unorthodox plans, although if permission is denied, he usually does it anyway. His ego probably surpasses Major Winchester's when it comes to medicine. After the war, his plan is to return to work in Crabapple Cove and to have no "anonymous" patients. Meanwhile, he fights all the pressure by joking.
Hawkeye starts out being from Vermont (6) until season 4 when he mentions a "summer cottage in Crabapple Cove” (7) which later becomes his hometown (8). In the later seasons, Hawkeye grew up in Crabapple Cove (9) and that Hawkeye's father hasn't left Crabapple Cove in 40 years (10). Hawkeye lives, until season 6 (11), with his father, mother and sister. Many episodes up to this point refer to a mother (12) and sister (13). In one episode, his sister sends him a sweater (14). However, in another episode it sounds as if he doesn't have a sister (15). Then, suddenly, Hawkeye's mother died when he was ten years old (16) and his father has been alone ever since (17) and he has no siblings. His father is a doctor (18) whose name is Daniel (19). Hawkeye has two cousins Billy (20), whom he idolized as a child, and Martin (21) and has never had a pet (22). His extended family includes his great-grandfather, "Tombstone" Pierce (23); his grandfather, Sparky Pierce (24); Grandmother Bates (25); and Alexander Pierce, an original founder of Crabapple Cove (26). He also has an uncle in Suffolk, England (27) an Uncle John (28), an Aunt Eloise (29) and an Aunt Sarah (30). Hawkeye grew up with his best friends Toby Wilder and Dickey Barber and they became the three musketeers (31). He had an imaginary childhood friend named Tuttle (32). Tommy Gillis had been a childhood friend for 15 years until he died (33). As a child, he "had all the usual childhood diseases -- Measles, Mumps, Colic" (34).
Not much is known of his schooling and background. He did some boxing in college but hurt his shoulder (35). He also says he was a transmission mechanic before med school (36). He got two letters and a scholarship in high school sports (37), but what they were for is unknown. He works at St. Shapiro's Medical Hospital and Christian Science reading room in Crabapple Cove (38). He was working at a hospital when he was called up (39). It is unknown where he went to college or interned.
His serial number is US19905607 (40). He makes $413.50 per month (41). He is 6 foot 2 inches (42) and weighs 170 pounds (43). He always has to come out on top and get in the last word (44). He is very competitive and hates to lose. He always sniffs his food before he eats it (45). He brushes his teeth by brushing each one up and down ten times (46). He is claustrophobic (47), unless, of course, he is with a girl. He hates mice. (48) He doesn't know much about cars or sports. He has a 1946 De Soto (49) which later becomes a 1947 De Soto (50). He brought his golf clubs with him and somebody stole them, (51) although he mentions that his Dad had sold his golf clubs thinking he was dead (52). He misses Maine and fishing with his dad in the St. Croix River (53), and pistachio ice cream (56).
