* ButtMonkey: Jakes outright tells Johnny that nobody takes him seriously, and Briggs treats Johnny as a helper monkey. And of all of the agents, Johnny's had the most scrapes with death so far.

Added DiffLines:

* ManipulativeBastard: He knows how to manipulate everyone from his fellow agents to his enemies. Justified in the latter case since it's his job as an undercover agent to maneuver criminals into situations that give the authorities enough evidence for an arrest. In the former case, Briggs' manipulation has gone so far that Mike has punched him in the face for it.;

Added DiffLines:

* [[DefrostingIceQueen Defrosting Ice King]]: Like Lauren, he doesn't like Mike when he first moves in to Graceland. He's slowly warming up to Mike. Very slowly.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Jakes had to choose between his job and his family. He chose the job, and as a result his ex-girlfriend has never let him see his seven-year-old son. It's for these reasons that he becomes the only one supportive of Mike staying his relationship with Abby.]]
* TheStoic: Jakes is the least hot-headed of anyone at Graceland.

* AbilityOverAppearance: Briggs was originally visualized by the creator as Native American, and according to Jeff Eastin, there were several bits in the original script about his "long, flowing Comanche hair."

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: It would appear to be rum.
