File: 0D69732-00043Z Date: 2 June 2004 Subject: Mallard, D. P. Classification: Confidential Director's Eyes Only Prepared By: NCIS Special Agent Randall Ferguson EMPLOYEE ASSESSMENT FILE
NAME: Doctor Donald Mallard	KNOWN ALIASES: Ducky
AGE:	Estimated…early 60's. Subject claims birth records destroyed in World War II during the London Blitz. Further Inquiries prove futile due to massive overtime considerations.
PREVIOUS LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERIENCE:	Prior to becoming an American Citizen, subject was a Medical Examiner for the City of London Police, Scotland Yard and the territory of Hong Kong. Rumors persist that Doctor Mallard may have also been involved with MI6 British Intelligence during the Cold War. He is known to have served one tour in Vietnam with an ANZAC unit. **Note: Confirmation still pending.
EDUCATION:	Graduated from Eton College with honors. Graduated Edinburgh Medical School, Scotland with honors.
WORK HISTORY:	Upon graduation began a private practice in London. After a promising start he claims his patient base mysteriously eroded. He soon turned to forensic medicine and his career thrived.
CURRENT OCCUPATION:	NCIS CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER
SPECIAL SKILLS:	Expertise in all areas of his field. Seemingly expert in all other…areas. Fluent in French, German, Swahili. Certified French Pastry Chef. Apparently knows or has worked with every Medical Examiner in CONUS. **NOTE: Often consults for the FBI, CIA and Secret Service on autopsy results.
PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION:	Subject has a disturbing propensity to talk to the dead…perhaps harboring some vague belief that their spirit dwells over the body. NOTE: I have also recently learned the subject has the disturbing propensity to interrupt interviewers to talk about just about anything he's ever thought, personally experienced and or heard. DOUBLE NOTE: He tends to do this…repeatedly. On the surface the subject often assumes the affectation of a kindly old Uncle. In the field, however, he has resorted to physical violence when a corpse was mishandled or moved without permission, once going as far a shoving a French police officer from a cliff. **NOTE: There was a lake below and said officer elected not to press charges.
MEDICAL EVALUATION:	Last medical exam was unable to be completed due to Doctor Mallard's constant interruptions of the examining Physician. It should be noted that Doctor Mallard's blood pressure and heart rate were considered normal at the time. It should also be noted that the examining Physician's…were not.
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:	"Ducky", as his co-workers know him, is well respected for his skills and keen intellect. His not so impressive "stories" seem to be tolerated by said co-workers. NOTE: After conducting this interview I find that extremely hard to believe and if true…more than a little disturbing. Perhaps due to his age or his impressive background, he is currently the only person within NCIS who can influence Special Agent Gibbs. NOTE: Of course, excluding yourself, Mister Director.
TROUBLESOME FOOTNOTE:	Still lives with his 96-year-old mother. **NCIS Disbursing - I am still awaiting personal reimbursement for the eight \ cassette tapes and three sets of triple "A" batteries I was forced to purchase to complete Doctor Mallard's oral interview.
