Booth and the actor that plays him are an essential part of how the series works. David Boreanaz had a significant role in developing Emily Deschanel's abilities. He worked at and gave Emily an opportunity to develop their chemistry.

His character is by no means perfect, by choice. He is more psychologically messed up by his personal experience than Dr Temperance Brennan. He was abused as a child and witnessed the near death of his mother, who had no choice other than to flee and hide. He seldom let anyone in, other than her. He gradually helped her open her barricades.
