Scout is a recovering addict who suffers from psychotic depression which can result in a lot of different moods depending on the day. He is constantly trying to do the right thing and better himself but more often than not, he doesn't exactly go about it in the right way. He moved to Portland from LA not too long ago to get away from his old life and old influences and to start over (plus he has other friends in the area to help him out). He's not working right now but is looking for a job and living off whatever money he has left from his old life.
