Prior to his accident, Stephen had a massive ego that fueled his career. He only took on patients that would help his status and provide an interest challenge, driven by a desire to control death and time. Still, he would do anything to help a patient recover if he perceived they had a chance, and prioritized his research over his physician work believing that it would save thousands of lives in the future.
Upon being confronted with a world of magic beyond his understanding, he initially refused to believe it until he was forcibly shown the truth.
He's extremely stubborn and determined, which proved useful as both a doctor and a learning sorcerer, but can prove to be a detriment at times as he refuses to let things go, as well as being dangerous for him. He's frequently shown to be the voice of reason to those around him. He became somewhat more humble in his life as a sorcerer, though only slightly, and has a newfound appreciation for expanding his horizons. He's inquisitive, and quite happy to break the rules when it suits him.
As a pacifist, he tries to avoid killing or hurting people, but acknowledges that sometimes those things are necessary, though it gives him extreme guilt. He has a well hidden emotional side that he habitually conceals, and is quite sentimental in his own way. At times, he lets his pride get the better of him, and can easily lose his temper with those around him when he believes he knows best.

Originally a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon, Strange got into a car accident which resulted in his hands becoming crippled. Once medicine failed him, Strange embarked on a journey to Kamar-Taj, where he was trained by the Ancient One in the ways of Magic and the Multiverse. Although he focused on healing his hands, Strange was drawn into a conflict with Kaecilius and the Zealots, who were working for Dormammu and had sought to merge Earth with the Dark Dimension. Following the demise of the Ancient One and the defeat of Kaecilius, Strange then became the new protector of the Sanctum Sanctorum, seeking to defend the Earth from other inter-dimensional threats.
