Relationships with others
He was attracted to Cecilia briefly before she fell in love with Émile. He was forced to divorce his wife because of his son being murdered. He hasn't been married since; however, he has been interested in Cassidy in the past. He seems to be interested in Mitternacht, but is afraid to say anything to her.

He treats Greg, Cecilia, Cassidy, Rico, Émile, Tory, Rachel and Beau as his best friends. He seems to love Émile (as a best friend, possibly).

As an IP officer
He is a First Grade Detective along with Cecilia, Émile, Mitternacht, Rico and Stan.

Even though he isn't fast at withdrawing his gun or about ballistics, he has excellent knowledge about how far and fast bullets travel. He is also good at projectile trajectory of bullets (basically, wherever they were fired from he can find the bullet).

He mainly studies ballistics and particulates but sometimes helps Tory, Beau and Rachel.

As a doctor
Even though he rarely works in a hospital, he got his medical degree even though he was working under Cecilia.
