Ronnie has served on the Columbia Police Force for nearly twenty years; but his habit of mouthing off to superiors and past involvement in a shady case has stymied his advancement. Given Ronnie’s compromised status, the police chief, Wayne LaRue, uses him as a liaison with the Whitechapel Mob to exchange bribes and other information. Still haunted by the case that sank his career and estranged him to his wife and daughter, Ronnie lives a life of self-destruction: punishing himself for the man he has become. Perhaps this is why he is fiercely protective of Charlie Hobbes, covering for his partner’s strange visions and trying to shield him from the corruption that permeates the department.
