One of his hands was severely burnt after accepting a handshake from Jude Perry and he required five stitches after being stabbed by Michael. He has extensive and visible scarring from worms burying into him during Jane Prentiss's attack on The Magnus Institute. Over time, John has acquired several scars from various encounters. He often looks very tired and is physically unfit, as other characters refer to him as scrawny and he tires easily from physical tasks that others perform with little exertion. John has prematurely greying hair and looks older than he is. He feels intense guilt for his actions as The Archivist and mourns both the mistakes he has made and the loss of his humanity. Despite this, John is very persistent and will push past his fear when doing what he thinks is right. He often panics when intimidated or threatened, causing him to stutter. John shies away from violence and does not have much courage. He eventually admits that he, too, is afraid of the monsters and supernatural subjects of statements, but covers it up with a scornful exterior. However, over time, he softens and offers genuine compassion to those that have been traumatised or scared by what they have experienced. When faced with statement givers in person, John is initially rude and rejects their experiences as tricks of the mind. He is dismissive and condescending toward written statement givers as well as one of his assistants, Martin Blackwood. John initially comes across as rude and short-tempered.
