What are the Apothecary personality traites in Romeo and Juliet?

The apothecary is a very small character who has four very short lines. Romeo gives a pretty good description of him, which boils down to the fact that he is very poor, desperately poor. His shop is full of unsaleable items like stuffed aligators and things past their best-before date, which are spread out over the shelves to cover up the fact that he cannot afford new stock, and has been trying to collect it himself from the wild.

All we know about his character is that he is essentially a good man, but his desperate condition induces him to do something which he knows to be wrong. He sums this up neatly in the phrase "my poverty but not my will consents."
