List of Law & Order: Criminal Intent characters

• Portrayed by Vincent D'Onofrio.
• الحلقات: " واحد " - " الولاء (الجزء الثاني) "، " ريسبيتو " - " إلى الصبي ذي القبعة الصوفية الزرقاء "

روبرت غورين محققٌ ومحللٌ جنائيٌّ بارعٌ وذكيٌّ للغاية، معروفٌ بحدسه وبصيرته. غالبًا ما يكون حدس غورين، بدلًا من الأدلة القاطعة، هو مفتاح حل القضايا. في كل حلقة، يوظف غورين معرفته الواسعة بمجموعة متنوعة من المواضيع، من الفيزياء النظرية والكيمياء والأدب إلى التاريخ وعلم النفس والعديد من اللغات الأجنبية. خدم غورين سابقًا في قسم التحقيقات الجنائية بالجيش ، متمركزًا في ألمانيا وكوريا الجنوبية ، وعمل في قسم مكافحة المخدرات بشرطة نيويورك قبل انتقاله إلى وحدة القضايا الكبرى (في حلقة " المطلع " من الموسم الأول ، يُكشف أنه شارك في ثلاث عمليات سرية أسفرت عن 27 عملية اعتقال وإدانة).

The Robert Goren character is very reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes; he notices tiny-yet-important details ignored by others, and possesses broad, almost encyclopedic knowledge. Frequently, Goren obtains crucial information and confessions by psychologically manipulating and provoking suspects and their associates. Mental illness seems to run in Goren's family: his mother suffered from schizophrenia and his biological father was a serial killer. During the series, Goren's history, coupled with his unorthodox style, became a source of trouble within the NYPD, spawning rumors and accusations that he was mentally unstable. In particular, this view was held by the Chief of Detectives, who suspended him for six months without pay after he embarked on an unauthorized undercover infiltration of a prison's mental ward. In the season 7 finale, he lost his brother Frank (Tony Goldwyn) to his archnemesis Nicole Wallace. In the course of the investigation, he realized that his mentor, Dr. Declan Gage, had orchestrated the deaths of his brother and Wallace. During season eight, he begins to recover after the events of season 7. In "Loyalty", Goren and Eames are pulled off a pair of homicides by Ross, who informs them that the FBI has taken an interest in the case. Ross is later murdered as well, their prime suspect is taken into custody by the FBI, provoking Goren into a physical altercation that leads to his suspension. He continues to investigate on his own and eventually learns of a plan by the FBI to allow GPS-tagged weapons to be distributed to terrorist camps in Somalia, so that the camps could be easily targeted and wiped out. He is then fired by Eames, who had recently been offered a promotion to captain of the Major Case Squad; she subsequently quits instead.

• Portrayed by Kathryn Erbe.
• Episodes: "One" - "Loyalty (Part 2)", "Rispetto" - "To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap"

Alexandra Eames is the quiet, practical partner who generally seems to mesh well with Goren despite the noticeable personality differences between the two. She worked in the NYPD's Vice Division for four years before transferring to Major Case. Her character is much like the screen portrayals of Holmes's partner Doctor Watson: a lesser equal, overshadowed by the charismatic presence of a prodigious partner. While still an assertive and no-nonsense cop and the senior partner of the pairing, much of Eames's dialogue consists of sarcastic, pun-heavy observations delivered at dramatically opportune moments (much like Law & Order's Detective Lennie Briscoe character).

There are occasional hints of a strong affection, and even jealousy, between the two partners, but their relationship has never become romantic. Their working relationship is more formal than that of the lead detectives in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit –Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay)– who typically address each other by their given names and have strong emotional interplay. Goren and Eames typically address each other by surname, but when either Eames or Goren is particularly stressed, she calls him "Bobby". She is a legacy officer: her father and late husband were both cops. In the third season, Eames embarked on a surrogate pregnancy for her sister and brother-in-law and, before her maternity leave, was assigned to desk duty at the police station; her work in the field with Goren was covered by G. Lynn Bishop. Recently, Goren and Eames' working relationship has become more strained, as she has become fed up with what she sees as Goren's habit of taking her for granted, expecting her to run interference for his off-beat tactics and style with both co-workers and superiors without acknowledging her contributions. These feelings boil over in the episode "Purgatory", after Goren embarks on a secret undercover mission for his superiors, and fails to inform her. Eames takes Wheeler's place starting in the episode "Major Case". In the episode "Loyalty," she and Goren are pulled off a pair of homicides by Ross, who has been working undercover for the FBI on a case involving one of the victims. When Ross is subsequently murdered, Goren soon gets into a physical altercation with the prime suspect, leading to his suspension and Eames' decision to covertly help him with his own investigation. She is offered a promotion to captain of the Major Case Squad on the condition that she fire Goren, but after doing so, she puts her badge and gun on Ross' desk and resigns.

لوغان محقق مضطرب، عمل سابقًا في فرقة المباحث التابعة للدائرة السابعة والعشرين في مانهاتن (من عام ١٩٩٠ إلى ١٩٩٥، في مسلسل " لو أند أوردر "). نُفي إلى جزيرة ستاتن ، وهي منطقة تُعتبر بمثابة مقبرة مهنية لشرطة نيويورك ، بعد أن لكم علنًا سياسيًا معادياً للمثليين كان قد قتل رجلاً مثليًا كان لوغان قد احترمه على مضض. مع ذلك، استعاد لوغان مكانته بحل قضية مؤامرة قتل تورط فيها شرطي فاسد (فيلم " المنفي: فيلم من سلسلة لو أند أوردر " الذي عُرض على قناة إن بي سي ). نُقل من جزيرة ستاتن إلى قسم المنازعات الأسرية في شرطة نيويورك. ظهر لوغان لأول مرة في مسلسل "كرمنال إنتنت " في الحلقة الرابعة من الموسم الرابع بعنوان " ستريس بوزيشن "، من خلال علاقته الرومانسية بممرضة تعمل في سجن كان غورين وإيمز يحققان فيه. في بداية الموسم الخامس، نُقل رسميًا إلى فرقة القضايا الكبرى بناءً على طلب الكابتن ديكنز، في الحلقة " غرو ". بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تورط لوغان في حادثة إطلاق النار التي شارك فيها ضابط شرطة، والتي استُخدمت لتأجيج المؤامرة التي أنهت مسيرة الكابتن ديكنز المهنية. بعد حله قضية قتل استمرت 16 عامًا في حلقة " الطقوس الأخيرة "، دفعه استياؤه من الفساد والجمود العام في نظام العدالة إلى ترك سلك الشرطة.

تتعاون المحققة كارولين باريك مع المحقق مايك لوغان طوال الموسم الخامس من المسلسل. غادرت أنابيلا سكيورا فريق التمثيل فجأة في نهاية الموسم، وتمّ الاستغناء عن دورها في الموسم السادس .

كارولين باريك محللة نفسية جنائية من حي كوبل هيل في بروكلين ، وقد أمضت عامين بعد أحداث 11 سبتمبر /أيلول مع مكتب التحقيقات الفيدرالي . إلى جانب الإنجليزية ، تتحدث أيضاً البولندية والإسبانية والإيطالية والكريولية والروسية والكانتونية واليديشية . رقم شارة باريك هو 6141. ^{[ 3 ]}

Barek previously worked without a partner, which accounts for her habit of talking to herself while examining a crime scene.^[3] She hints that her mother was strict; when a girl who abuses heroin dresses in front of her and Logan in the hospital, she tells Logan her mother would have killed her if she dressed or undressed in front of complete strangers.^[3] Barek is Catholic and, in contrast to Logan, she believes that even the worst sinner deserves forgiveness. Barek's father was a carpenter who was in a union. Barek admits to having a former boyfriend with a gambling problem, and spent two years trying to help him before ending the relationship.^[4]

She and Logan do not always see eye to eye, but she supports him when he needs it. For example, she publicly backs him when he accidentally shoots an undercover cop.^[5] She also notices when he falls ill, and takes him to a healer; the healer reveals that Logan came into contact with poison ivy, which he is allergic to, and inadvertently helps them solve the case.^[6]

Barek does not appear on the show after the end of the fifth season. She was replaced by Megan Wheeler. No reason for her apparent departure is stated by the show, but in the sixth season, it is hinted that she and Logan did not part on good terms: When the new captain, Danny Ross sarcastically mentions to Logan that he can get Barek back if Wheeler does not work out, Logan responds by rolling his eyes and grimacing.^[7]

Annabella Sciorra reprised her role as Barek in the 22nd season of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, for the episode "Hunt, Trap, Rape, and Release". Barek, newly promoted to lieutenant and placed in command of the Bronx SVU, joins forces with Captain Olivia Benson and her team to find a serial rapist whose victims live in both Manhattan and the Bronx.^[8] When one of her detectives is revealed to be the rapist, she believes her NYPD career to be over; instead of forcing her to retire, though, Deputy Chief Garland transfers her from SVU to Homicide and urges her not to draw any attention to herself.

انضمت ميغان ويلر إلى فرقة القضايا الكبرى كمحققة، لتحل محل كارولين باريك كشريكة لمايك لوغان . وانتقلت للعمل مع القائد الجديد، مرشدها داني روس . وكانت قد عملت متخفية لمدة ثلاث سنوات، وشملت مهامها مكافحة الرذيلة والمخدرات وجرائم ذوي الياقات البيضاء ، كما تولت تحقيقًا في غسيل الأموال مع روس. ^{[ 9 ] [ 10 ]}

خلال التحقيق، تذكرت ويلر كيف اضطرت والدتها للعمل كنادلة لإعالتهما بعد أن تخلى عنهما والد ويلر. وكُشف لاحقًا أن والد ويلر، وهو محامٍ على صلة بالمافيا الأمريكية ، اختفى قبل عشرين عامًا، وهو إما مختبئ أو قُتل على يد العصابة. يُزعم أن والدها كان يحصل على حصة من أرباح العصابة، مما ساعد في دفع رسوم مدرسة ويلر الخاصة؛ لكن هذا الترتيب انتهى بعد تغيير زعماء العصابة. ^{[ 11 ]}

عندما انضمت ويلر لأول مرة إلى فرقة القضايا الكبرى، تساءل لوغان عما إذا كانت فتاة في مثل سنها قادرة على التعامل مع قضايا القتل الكبرى، وأشار إلى أنها أول شريكة له لديها نمش. ردت روس قائلةً إنه خلال سنوات عملها الثلاث المتخفية، "لم يجبرها أحد على ذلك". ^{[ 9 ]} ومع ذلك، أثبت فارق السن فائدته عندما كانت ويلر على دراية بالاختصارات التي يستخدمها المراهقون في الرسائل النصية . لكن في الحلقة نفسها، يظهر أنها غير قادرة على سماع نغمة الرنين فوق الصوتية التي استخدمها مشتبه به مراهق لتهريب هاتف محمول إلى المدرسة، وهو تردد زُعم أن قلة من الناس فوق سن الثلاثين يمكنهم اكتشافه. ^{[ 9 ]} تمت خطبتها لرجل أعمال يُدعى كولين ليدجر (يلعب دوره زوج نيكلسون، جوناثان كيك ). ^{[ 12 ]} في النهاية، ألقت الشرطة الفيدرالية القبض على ليدجر بتهم الاحتيال وغسيل الأموال والابتزاز . ^{[ 13 ]}

في نهاية الموسم السادس، تُخبر ويلر لوغان أنها ستسافر إلى أوروبا لتدريس دورة في إجراءات الشرطة الأمريكية (هذه القصة تُفسر غياب جوليان نيكلسون، التي كانت في إجازة أمومة ). ^{[ 14 ]} خلال غيابها في الموسم السابع، حلت محلها المحققة نولا فالاتشي. تعود ويلر إلى فرقة القضايا الكبرى في حلقة "العقد".

بعد مغادرة لوغان للفريق وتقاعده، ^{[ 13 ]} تم تعيين شريك جديد لـ ويلر، وهو زاك نيكولز . أخبرت روس نيكولز أن ويلر يبدو أنها كانت تعاني من مشاكل مع شريكها السابق وخطيبها السابق، وأنها غير مستعدة للوثوق به. ^{[ 15 ]} وقالت إن ليدجر يواجه عقوبة السجن الفيدرالي لمدة 12 عامًا، وأنها حامل بطفله، بالتزامن مع حمل نيكولسون الثاني. كما قالت إنها لن تُخبره بأمر طفله. ^{[ 16 ]}

تواجه ويلر أزمة أخرى عندما تتهمها إدارة الشؤون الداخلية بالتواطؤ مع ليدجر. لاحقًا، تقول إن المكتب يريد استدعاءها كشاهدة في محاكمته، وهو ما تخشى أن يؤثر على وظيفتها. يطمئنها روس بأن الموقف ليس خطأها، وأنه لا أحد يعتقد حقًا أنها فاسدة. ^{[ 17 ]}

كان آخر ظهور كامل لويلر في الموسم الثامن في حلقة " العاطفة "، بالتزامن مع حمل نيكلسون. وحلت ألكسندرا إيمز محلها في الحلقتين الأخيرتين من الموسم. ^{[ 18 ]} وكان آخر ظهور لها بشكل عام في وقت لاحق من عام 2009. ويمكن رؤيتها لفترة وجيزة في حلقة " قضية كبرى "، وهي تناقش قضية في مكتب روس، عندما انفجر كيس الماء لديها ، فأخذتها إيمز إلى المستشفى. وبعد مرافقة إيمز لها في المستشفى، تبين أن لديها أختًا بقيت معها أثناء الولادة. وأطلقت على الطفلة اسم "مارغو جين ويلر". ^{[ 19 ]}

في الموسم التاسع، حلت سيرينا ستيفنز محل ويلر. ^{[ 20 ]} لم يُفسر خروجها في البداية. مع ذلك، في الحلقة " مغالطة المقامر " من الموسم الخامس عشر من مسلسل " القانون والنظام: وحدة الضحايا الخاصة "، التي عُرضت عام 2014، استخدمت المحققة أماندا رولينز ( كيلي جيديش ) هوية ويلر وشارة الشرطة لإخراج مسدس من غرفة الأدلة. لاحقًا، قال المحقق نيك أمارو ( داني بينو ): "تقاعدت المحققة ويلر قبل أربع سنوات".

• تجسد شخصيتها أليسيا ويت .
• الحلقات: " بذور " - " بلا معنى "

Nola Falacci served as Logan's partner for a short time while Wheeler was in Europe teaching American police procedure to European police officers. She is apparently the child of Sicilian and Irish parents and is characterized as brash, short-tempered and lacking tact. In one episode Capt. Ross tells Logan that she is "not a people person" and in another she makes Logan comment that he sounds like "the voice of reason". She is happily married with three children.

In the episode "Contract", Logan tells Wheeler that Falacci is now a training officer for the CIA at the agency's headquarters in Quantico, Virginia, having felt hamstrung at Major Case.

Zachary Nichols is portrayed by Jeff Goldblum.

Nichols is a police detective with the NYPD Manhattan Major Case Squad. He was introduced in the show's eighth season to replace Detective Mike Logan (Chris Noth). During that season he and his partner Detective Megan Wheeler were featured in half the episodes shown, alternating with Robert Goren and Alex Eames; the next year, during the show's ninth season, he and his new partner Serena Stevens were the only detectives featured. Neither Nichols nor Stevens returned for the tenth and final season; however, their characters were not specifically written out or addressed in any way during the final season.

Detective Nichols was once partnered with Captain Danny Ross in the NYPD's Anti-Crime task force. However, after the 9/11 attacks, Nichols left the police force for seven years. Ross remarked that during this period, his only clue to Nichols' whereabouts was a postcard from Cleveland.^[21]

Detective Eames begins partnering with Nichols after Nichols' partner, Megan Wheeler, went into labor and gave birth. Together they investigate Henry Muller (Dylan Baker), a forensics scientist with the NYPD who murdered a teenage girl. Nichols' investigation of Muller, who has clout from within the department, puts Nichols’ career in jeopardy and causes conflict between him and Ross, who comments that he himself risked being suspended almost every month while he and Nichols were partners due to the latter's unconventional, risk-taking behavior. Nichols ultimately gets Muller to confess, however, getting himself and Ross back into the NYPD's good graces.^[22]

Nichols becomes full-time partners with Detective Serena Stevens, who is introduced in the second part of the two-part Season 9 premiere episode "Loyalty". Both detectives work under the command of Captain Zoe Callas during this season, after Ross is killed while taking part in an FBIsting operation.^[23]

Nichols is the child of two psychiatrists, but shunned their profession; becoming a police officer was a form of rebellion.^[24] Nichols and his father, Dr. Theodore Nichols (F. Murray Abraham), do not speak for years afterward. They reconcile when Nichols asks his father for assistance with a murder investigation involving a suspect with dissociative identity disorder, which happens to be the elder Nichols' specialty.^[25] Nichols also mentions having an older brother although the character is not shown.^[26]

He carries a Kahr K9 as his sidearm, a pistol authorized by the real-life NYPD for many years. The department discontinued use of the weapon because it could not be modified to function on a trigger pull of 12 pounds, as mandated by internal regulations to reduce the chance of accidental discharge by officers.

Nichols attended a public grade school,^[27] but as a teenager went to Emerson Academy, an exclusive college-preparatory school. There, he learned to play piano.^[28] He also had a relationship with a young woman named Lenore Abrigaille (Mili Avital) that ended when she descended into mental illness.^[27]

The following are the medals and service awards worn by Detective Nichols.

	American Flag Breast Bar
	World Trade Center Breast Bar
	NYPD Excellent Police Duty
	NYPD Unit Citation

Serena Stevens is the replacement for Detective Megan Wheeler, who left as partner of Zack Nichols at the end of season eight ("Major Case") and for Detective Alexandra Eames, who left with her partner Robert Goren for the remainder of the ninth season after the two-part-premiere, "Loyalty".

Before transferring to New York, she was with the Chicago Police Department. During her childhood, Stevens briefly lived in Islamabad with her father, a Marine stationed at the American embassy, and learned to read Urdu and Arabic.

يؤدي دور الكابتن جيمس "جيمي" ديكنز الممثل جيمي شيريدان .

في المسلسل، يشرف ديكنز على فرقة القضايا الكبرى في مدينة نيويورك . ومن بين أفضل محققيه الشركاء روبرت غورين وألكسندرا إيمز، بالإضافة إلى الشركاء مايك لوغان وكارولين باريك.

على الرغم من أن أولوية ديكنز الأولى هي نجاح التحقيقات الجنائية، إلا أنه يضطر في كثير من الأحيان إلى كبح جماح محققيه الأكثر تهورًا، وخاصة غورين ولوغان، للسيطرة على الدعاية السلبية التي قد يتعرضون لها أحيانًا. ورغم أن هذا الأمر قد خلق بعض التوتر بين ديكنز ومحققيه، إلا أنهم في الغالب يحترمون حكمه المهني وسلطته.

لدى ديكنز وزوجته أنجي ثلاث بنات. أصيب ديكنز بنوبة من شلل بيل في نهاية الموسم الرابع. وخلال فترة تعافيه، اعتاد ارتداء رقعة على عينه المصابة. وهو الآن يعتمد بشكل أكبر على النظارات. (في الواقع، كان شيريدان نفسه مصابًا بشلل بيل عندما تم تصوير تلك الحلقات).

يترك ديكنز منصبه في نهاية الموسم الخامس بدلاً من مواجهة مؤامرةٍ لتلفيق تهمةٍ ضده، دبرها ضابط الشرطة السابق فرانك أدير ( مايكل ريسبولي )، الذي ألقت شرطة القضايا الكبرى القبض عليه بتهمة قتل عشيقته وزوجها، وحُكم عليه بالسجن المؤبد دون إمكانية الإفراج المشروط. ^{[ 34 ]} تبدأ المشكلة عندما يُجبر لوغان على إطلاق النار على رجلٍ دفاعًا عن النفس. ^{[ 5 ]} لاحقًا، يكتشف لوغان أن الرجل الذي أطلق عليه النار كان شرطيًا متخفيًا. يُؤيد الشرطي مارتينيز، الذي يرتدي الزي الرسمي، ادعاء لوغان بالدفاع عن النفس، لكن أدير يزرع بريدًا إلكترونيًا يُورِّط ديكنز زورًا في فسادٍ رسمي. يُخطط أدير للادعاء بأن ديكنز قد "اشترى" شهادة مارتينيز لصالح لوغان. يكشف غورين وإيمز البريد الإلكتروني المُزوَّر، ^{[ 35 ]} لكن أدير يُواصل مُحاربة ديكنز.

ونظرًا لعدم رغبته في تعريض شرطة نيويورك ، ووحدة مكافحة الجرائم الإلكترونية التابعة له على وجه الخصوص، لمزيد من الإحراج، قرر ديكنز التقاعد من الخدمة. ^{[ 36 ]} وقد حل محله داني روس، الذي انضم إلى فريق التمثيل في الحلقة الأولى من الموسم السادس .

يؤدي الممثل إريك بوغوسيان دور الكابتن دانيال روس .

He is introduced in the episode "Blind Spot" as the successor of James Deakins. He is given the position of captain of the Major Case Squad as a reward for a successful three-year stint as head of the NYPD's Joint Task Force on International Money Laundering.

Ross takes a more "hands-on" approach to the administration of Major Cases than Deakins. He often goes out into the field, especially for arrests, and occasionally participates in direct interrogations of suspects. He is far less tolerant of the unorthodox methods of Det. Robert Goren, though the two eventually come to a better understanding and relationship. Ross also uses his prior relationship as supervisor to Det. Megan Wheeler at the Joint Task Force to keep close watch on "loose cannon" Detective Mike Logan. In the episode "Rock Star", he remarks that he was at one time partners with Logan's replacement, Zach Nichols. He frequently lectures his detectives on being kept "in the loop" and updated on every development of each case. In the episode "Purgatory" he assigns Goren to go undercover without telling Goren's partner, Alexandra Eames.

In the episode "Betrayed", he runs interference when his ex-girlfriend is accused of murder. In "Major Case", he says to Nichols (who risked ruining his career over a murder case) that he himself came close to being suspended at least once a month while they were partners, due to Nichols' behavior.

Captain Ross is shot and killed in the line of duty in the first part of the season 9 premiere "Loyalty" as a result of working undercover with the FBI on a RICO case. He is given a 21-gun salute at his funeral, with the entire Major Case Squad and many other NYPD officers and staff members in attendance.

روس مطلق ولديه ولدان، يبلغان من العمر 14 و10 سنوات. وهو شديد الحرص عليهما؛ فخلال قضية تتعلق بعلاقة غرامية بين معلمة وأحد طلابها، سأله لوغان عما سيفعله لو اكتشف أن معلمة على علاقة جنسية بأحد ولديه. فأجاب روس بأنه "سيكسرهما إربًا إربًا... سواء كانا ذكرًا أم أنثى". في حلقة أخرى (" القطرس ")، يشهد روس وولداه جريمة قتل أثناء إعادة تمثيل المبارزة الشهيرة بين آرون بور وألكسندر هاميلتون . يُبقي روس ولديه مشغولين بجعلهم يجمعون كاميرات الفيديو الخاصة بجميع الشهود الآخرين حتى لا يكونوا بالقرب من الجثة. في الحلقة الأولى من الموسم السابع " التعويضات "، يكشف روس أن ابنه الأكبر جيريمي، البالغ من العمر 15 عامًا، قد ضُبط في السرير مع فتاة، وأن طليقته تريد منه أن يتحدث مع ابنهما. على الرغم من طلاقه، إلا أن روس يحافظ على نوع من الصداقة مع طليقته نانسي وصديقها الجديد تود. في إحدى حلقات عام ٢٠٠٦، شوهدت العائلة بأكملها تتناول عشاء عيد الشكر معًا قبل أن يُستدعى روس إلى مسرح جريمة. وفي الحلقة الثانية من سلسلة نيكولز / ويلر ، بعنوان " في العلاج "، يذكر روس لزاك نيكولز أن لديه ابنة عم تُدعى ريتا، دأبت على إرسال ألعاب قطط له في عيد الميلاد لمدة عشرين عامًا، لأنه ادعى أنها حامل بينما لم تكن كذلك.

كثيرًا ما يُشير روس إلى القضايا بأسلوبٍ راقٍ. ففي حلقة " مراقبة الحي "، وبعد أن يُغلق محققوه قضية قتلٍ تورط فيها قاتلٌ جاهلٌ للغاية، وصف القاتل بأنه " ابتذال الشر "، مُقتبسًا العنوان الفرعي لكتاب " أيخمان في القدس" للمُنظِّرة السياسية حنة أرندت . وفي حلقة " 30 "، عندما يُكشف أن المشتبه به الرئيسي، الذي كان يُعتقد أنه عميلٌ في المخابرات السوفيتية (كي جي بي) ، مُحتالٌ يعيش في برايتون بيتش ، يُطلق عليه روس لقب " والتر ميتي برايتون بيتش "، في إشارةٍ إلى الشخصية الرئيسية في القصة القصيرة لجيمس ثوربر . كما يُشير أيضًا إلى فيلم أكيرا كوروساوا "راشومون " في حلقة " الصفصاف الباكي "، الذي تضمن العديد من الشهود غير الموثوق بهم في جريمةٍ إلكترونية ، واصفًا إياه بـ"راشومون الإلكتروني".

Ross is Jewish, and in one episode ("30") that addressed the killing of a civilian by the Israeli military, Logan asks Ross if he is, for the purposes of the case at hand, "a Jew first and a cop second". Ross in fact turns down an appeal by a pro-Israel friend to act in the interests of that country.

Although it is never officially mentioned on screen, there are several moments that imply a romantic relationship between Dr. Elizabeth Rodgers (Leslie Hendrix) and Ross. In one episode, Ross and Rodgers can be seen getting into an elevator dressed for going to the theater.^E709 When Ross asks Rodgers for information on Goren, Goren later confronts Ross with this, shouting at Ross, "Did your girlfriend tell you that?!"^E722 After Ross is murdered, Goren and Eames arrive at the crime scene to find Rodgers already there, visibly distraught over both his death and the fact that the FBI is denying her access to the body.^E901

Callas is the successor for Danny Ross. Callas transferred from the Internal Affairs Bureau to be the captain of the Major Case Squad.^S9E03S9E07 However, she stays around as captain for only one season before being replaced by Joseph Hannah in Season 10. Her sudden departure from the Major Case Squad is never explained. Callas and Lieutenant Kate Dixon are the only police main characters in the Law & Order universe who are not seen with a service weapon.

Callas mentions she is from a Greek-American family and has a daughter. Callas is divorced. Her eldest daughter is at Columbia University as a premed student.^S9E11 She also has mentioned she has a brother who works in the construction field.^S9E12

• Portrayed by Jay O. Sanders.^[37]
• Episodes: "Rispetto" – "To the Boy in the Blue Knit Cap"

Joseph Hannah is Zoe Callas' replacement. Hannah is a friend of Detective Robert Goren since their police academy days. Hannah possesses an easy authority, but also a humorous side, and he shares a buddy-buddy rapport with some of his detectives.^[1][37][38] Hannah has a similar rapport with Detectives Goren and Eames that James Deakins had with them.

Early on, Hannah gently confronts Goren about his mandatory shrink sessions with Dr. Gyson, reminding him that the sessions were mandated as part of Goren's reinstatement and that the NYPD brass still believe Goren is crazy. In "The Consoler", after Goren insults Hannah about a case in front of Eames, he privately tells Goren he understands him and how he does things, and vice versa. He then tells Goren "I've got your back, and you respect my face and don't get in it." This compels Goren to begin attending his sessions.

Jay O. Sanders, the actor who portrays Captain Joseph Hannah, appeared previously on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, in the episode "Dead" (Season 2, Episode 1), playing Harry Rowan, freelance hit-man.

Ronald "Ron" Carver is played by Courtney B. Vance. He was named after George Washington Carver.

Carver often works in conjunction with detectives Robert Goren, Alexandra Eames, Mike Logan, and Carolyn Barek of the Major Case Squad. He graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. As an Assistant District Attorney, his interpretation and prosecution of the law is strict and unyielding, and he has little sympathy for people who break it, regardless of circumstance. This sometimes puts him in conflict with Goren, who has solved some crimes by empathizing with the criminals and has occasionally manipulated investigations so they get more lenient prison sentences than those which Carver wants to impose.

Carver is also frequently in conflict with all the detectives because they tend to rely on hunches and instinct, when he wants more hard evidence. Despite this conflict, however, he has a strong working relationship with both teams. Few things have been revealed about his personal life. He evidently has some experience with religion, as he can recognize and recite Biblical passages. Though he wears a wedding ring, the only direct reference he has made to being married was during a particularly twisted investigation; after hearing all the gruesome details, he observed, "This makes me want to go home and kiss my wife". He is anti-abortion and a fan of classic model cars. While in law school, he also formed a barbershop quartet-style singing group with several of his classmates.

Carver was written out of Law & Order: Criminal Intent after Vance left the show at the end of its fifth season. Carver was to be replaced by Patricia Kent. The part was originally given to Nona Gaye (Marvin Gaye's daughter), but she left the show within a few days citing creative differences. Gaye was replaced by Theresa Randle, who herself only appeared in two episodes. Kent once quoted Carver as referring to Major Case as "major hunch."

As has often taken place in the Law & Order franchise, Vance first appeared on the original Law & Order series in a 1990 episode, "By Hooker, By Crook" as an unnamed Mayor's Aide. He also appeared in the season 5 episode, "Rage". In that episode, he portrayed Benjamin Greer, a murder suspect interviewed and arrested by Detectives Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Mike Logan.

Appearing in 111 episodes, Carver is the second longest serving ADA in the Law & Order franchise, behind SVU'sCasey Novak (Diane Neal).

• Portrayed by Leslie Hendrix.

Nicole Wallace is Robert Goren's archnemesis. A criminal mastermind, she is one of the few people Goren encounters throughout the series who can get the better of him, particularly by confronting him about his unhappy childhood. Goren theorizes that she was molested by her father as a child and that the trauma bred in her a pathological drive to use and destroy anyone who gets close to her; this is frequently implied to be true. Goren also believes that she murdered her own daughter Hannah in her native Australia, because she saw the girl as a sexual rival (in the episode "Grow", she insists that her daughter's death was an accident).

She murders nine people during her five appearances on the show, and it is explained in "Anti-Thesis" that, years before, she worked with her then-lover — a criminal svengali named Bernard Fremont (Michael York) — to seduce, then rob and murder eight male tourists in Thailand. In the episode "Slither", Fremont is indicted on a murder charge and found dead soon afterward, a hypodermic syringe jabbed into his chest. Goren holds Wallace responsible (implying her tenth murder), knowing her aptitude with various poisons and believing her to be in New York at the time.

She is introduced in the episode "Anti-Thesis" as a con artist and thief living in the U.S. under the alias "Elizabeth Hitchens" and working at Hudson University as a literature professor. The episode reveals that she murdered the real Hitchens and assumed her identity. When Goren questions her about a murder that she manipulated a graduate student into committing, the two form an instant rivalry, which becomes obsessive after she flees the country. In her next appearance, "A Person of Interest", Goren tricks her into admitting responsibility for another murder, but she is found not guilty in "Pas de Deux", thanks to a team of lawyers hired by her wealthy husband, Gavin Haynes (Richard Joseph Paul), who later divorces her. In "Great Barrier", she re-emerges as the brains behind a diamond theft scam perpetrated by her lover, Ella Miyazaki (Grace Hsu). Wallace later murders Ella when she discovers that she is wearing a wire, and falls to her apparent death in the process. She was slated to die in this episode, but the producers gave fans the option to vote on a real death versus her having faked her own death. Sure enough, she turns up alive in the episode "Grow".

While she is characterized as "a psychopath" and "a monster" by other characters, certain episodes suggest that Wallace is not entirely without humanity. In "Grow", for example, she puts herself at risk to save Gwen Chapel (Molly Gottleib), the young daughter of her boyfriend Evan Chapel (Kevin J. O'Connor), after she discovers that he is trying to kill Gwen in order to collect on a multimillion-dollar trust fund. She gives Goren incriminating evidence against Evan and kidnaps Gwen to take her to the girl's aunt in Arizona, but lets her go in a moment of conscience. She leaves a voicemail for Goren, admitting she could not trust herself with the child, and cursing him for taking away her last chance at happiness.

She makes her final appearance in the season 7 finale, "Frame", in which she kills Goren's brother Frank (Tony Goldwyn) with an injection of succinylcholine after having sex with him. In turn, she is murdered by Goren's former mentor, Dr. Declan Gage (John Glover), who sends her heart in a package to Goren. According to Gage, her final words were, "Tell Bobby he was the only man I've ever loved."

The eighth episode of the 2013 series Jo involves a murder suspect named Madeline Haynes (played by Olivia d'Abo). Interpol records show that her fingerprints match those of Nicole Wallace, and Wallace's backstory is mentioned, including her supposed final words. However, Haynes' DNA does not match that on record in New York for Nicole Wallace, most likely, she used forensic trickery to escape justice and assume a new identity. According to the actress and creator and writer René Balcer, Madeline is Nicole Wallace with a new identity.

• Episodes: "Blind Spot" and "Frame"

Declan Gage, Goren's former mentor, appeared in two episodes. In "Blind Spot", his daughter Jo murders two people and kidnaps Eames to make her father notice her. In "Frame", it is revealed he is showing signs of diminishing capacity and concocts a plan to dispose of people whom Gage sees as destructive in Goren's life, "to set him free". Gage had even written a book about female murderers just to lure Nicole Wallace back to town. When she takes the bait, he lets her kill Goren's brother. He then kills Wallace and sends her heart to Goren. He, however, refused her advances, telling Goren, "I think you and I may be the only two men who ever said 'No' to her. It's the only way to engage her."

Using Wallace's M.O., he stages an attempt on his own life, although the post date on the package containing the heart reveals she was already dead at the time. He even gaslights Goren to make him re-engage with life by defending himself against the suspicion he murdered his brother for life insurance to be paid to a Swiss bank account in the name of one of Goren's undercover aliases. He described his relationship with his daughter ("Blind Spot") as "never better"; she is in a coma resulting from blood loss when she bit off her own tongue.

• Episodes: "Probability", "Endgame"

Wally Stevens first appeared in "Probability" as an eccentric employee at an insurance company. It is through evidence of repetition and patterns that Goren and Eames conclude that Wally is on the autism spectrum (Asperger's Syndrome) as well as orchestrating several murders of homeless people for insurance money. Eames remarks that Goren and Wally have many things in common, and wryly suggests that the two of them should be penpals. He reappears in "Endgame" as an unwitting conduit between Goren, with whom he has been corresponding, and Mark Ford Brady, who is in the same penitentiary.

Faith Yancy is a TV journalist who sometimes reports on the Major Case Squad's high-profile cases. The character is an apparent parody of Nancy Grace, considering she helms a sensationalist news show in the vein of the real-life Grace's HLN program; in addition, her name itself can be seen as a parody of Nancy Grace's - "Faith" instead of "Grace," and "Yancy" instead of "Nancy." She also speaks with a slight Southern twang similar to Grace's.
