* {{Jerkass}}: Captain Cheney is the stereotypical DaChief who loudly insists getting the help of Rhyme was useless apropos of nothing and tries his absolute damnedest to get him and Donaghy thrown off the case. It's extremely unsubtly implied that he is also a GloryHound and the fatalities he keeps throwing in Rhyme and Donaghy's faces as evidence of their inefficiency he would not care about otherwise.
