Meet Dr. Packard
Dr. Packard is an older U.S. Army physician whose rumpled manner contrasts with the credibility of his position. Quiet, avoidant, and visibly uncomfortable under pressure, he occupies the medical edge of Marcus Winters’ military story without presenting himself as an obvious threat.

Behind the empire
Dr. Packard gives Marcus the diagnosis that makes him believe he has roughly one year to live. Elaine Holt is secretly poisoning Marcus and uses devastating criminal leverage to coerce Packard into supporting her deception. Packard is not the mastermind, but his fear does not erase his responsibility for misusing medical authority. The exact degree of his knowledge and complicity remains unresolved.
