Patrick Jane is a former Independent consultant to the California Bureau of Investigation. He uses his keen powers of observation, his brilliant mind and his talent for mischief to solve crimes. Despite his lack of limits and disrespect for the protocol, he is valued because his tricks, devices and mind games end the cases. He has a playful and cocky personality and a tendency to ignore authority, often using unorthodox methods which are met with disapproval by his coworkers. Jane is considered to be the finest detective in California. He is capable of amazing feats of observation and induction and although he says he isn't psychic, some people maintain that he must be. Jane is not afraid of taunting others, although after the deaths of his wife and daughter he is more cautious and knows that his actions can have terrible consequences. Jane's signature look is one that embodies both presentability and the right amount of nonchalance. He almost always wears a 2 button three-piece suit and a dress shirt usually without a necktie, and there are even times where he sleeps in them. Though some purists frown upon three piece suits without ties, Jane makes this ensemble uniquely his. He is also handsome and quite charming with wavy golden hair that's characteristically combed.
