Personality
Wilson is known as the "Gentleman Scientist" and has a personality to back up the title. He is portrayed as a calm, easy-going man. He talks much like a stereotypical scientist, with dialogue requiring a good command of the English language to fully understand. For a scientist, Wilson is also quite witty as he can throw quips and one-liners even in the midst of intellectual sentences.

Wilson is shown to be very dedicated to his work, as he will do everything necessary in order for his experiment to be a success, even if it means going so far as to make a deal with a demonic being. This also showed that Wilson was rather hungry for knowledge, so much so that he would even obtain secret and forbidden knowledge without giving second thoughts to the consequences of his actions. To him knowledge is everything, and he believed that there is no greater power than the power of the mind.

According to Ford, Wilson lived in isolation almost all his life and survived purely by his quick thinking, leading him to believe that with intelligence one can survive anything. Though on the one hand, it is speculated that due to his harsh lifestyle in the past, Wilson is also trying to keep not only himself, but everyone else around him, safe. This also makes Wilson a brave individual as he is able to confront and even combat the many hostile creatures that lurk in the World.
