Owen Hunt

Dr. Owen Hunt was introduced in season five as a trauma surgeon who had previously worked with the army in wartorn Iraq, and consequently teaches medicine in a somewhat more unorthodox fashion. He is the love interest of Cristina Yang.

Personal life
Hunt reveals details of his painful past to Dr. Yang, telling her about the death of his entire unit during his last tour in Iraq. These events seem to impact a lot of Hunt's behaviour, such as his disgust for residents arguing over surgeries and talking about patients with little human decency and respect.

He often manages to irk both Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Sloan who view his treatment of some of the patients as crude. He is also rebuffed by Dr. Stevens when he stabs a set of pigs and then orders the residents and interns to save their lives, in order to teach them medicine on "live tissue."

Romantic life
The character makes a dramatic first appearance when he performs a tracheotomy on a man with a pen, winning the admiration of Dr. Yang. Owen Hunt had an almost instant attraction to Cristina Yang since his first appearance in Seattle Grace, illustrated by the passionate kiss they share soon after they meet. In a later episode, Hunt and Yang share another kiss
