Leonard Samson

Leonard Samson is a psychiatrist. He is the leading psychiatrist at Culver University in Virginia, where he met Betty Ross, a cellular biologist on the faculty, and the two are together and share a home.

Samson is steady, kind, and attentive to Ross, and he is clear-eyed about the fact that she still carries feelings for Bruce Banner, the partner who went on the run five years earlier and has not been heard from since. He listens more than he talks, keeps a glass of wine and a fire going in the evening, and takes a professional interest in what people leave unsaid.
