This was Doctor House before the tragedy.
This is what happened.
His son accidentally set a mouse trap in the house, which killed Stuart. Feeling guilty, the son killed himself.
The wife went insane and kept blaming House for their sons’ deaths.
House killed his wife.
House became House.
House.
Hard enough that his wife had a previous relationship with a dude that turned into a giant fly monster.
House didn’t immediately become a doctor after first becoming a widower as he’d like you to believe.
There was a time between his life as a father and that of a doctor where he was lost, with nowhere to go. Taking what little funds he had left, he disappeared off the face of the Earth.
He was found, however, several months later by his only brother, having stumbled into an alley in a drunken stupor and nearly falling into the London sewer system. The two were allegedly left to the same fate, and began to take up any jobs they could find, no matter how menial.

Working under the aliases Jasper and Horace, they reach a small level of fame across England’s underside. It was not long before they were approached by a wealthy woman, drowning in gaudy dress, with a proposition.
She asked them to kidnap some dogs. A specific kennel of them, consisting of one-hundred and one dalmatians.

The brothers were ultimately unsuccessful, with their employer incarcerated, House partially losing use of his leg, and his brother his life.
He did not emerge empty-handed, however. The two had been paid up-front, and House, inheriting the pay of his late brother in addition to his own, returned to America to become House.
House.
House.
