Gil Grissom
CSI Level: Three
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 168 lbs
Place of Birth: Santa
Monica, CA
Date of Birth: August 17, 1956
Education: B.S. in Biology, UCLA
Special Skills: Entomology
Marital
Status: Single
Bio:Grissom grew
up in Marina Del Rey, California. His mother ran an art gallery in Venice, and his father was in the "import/export" business,
dealing primarily with communist China. Grissom's parents divorced when he was five. At eight or nine, Grissom began riding
his bike out to the beach every day to collect dead seagulls, opossums, and anything else he could find. He would bring the
remains home and conduct autopsies, slowly teaching himself the ins and outs of death. As a teenager, Grissom became known
to local authorities, who employed him for quick autopsies on dead animals such as cats and dogs. By age sixteen, Grissom
was an "unofficial intern" for the L.A. County morgue. He worked his way through college and then went to work full time as
the youngest coroner in the history of L.A. County. His philosophy about his work has always been: "If you want to learn about
forensics, master everything else first." While others may have a reason for being a CSI, for Grissom the job is not about
choice. Grissom could no more work in another profession than a fish could stop swimming. CSI is not a job for Grissom, it's
an expression of who he is as a person, the perfect synthesis of personality and profession.
Sara Sidle
CSI Level:Three
Date of Birth:9/16/71
Height:5’8”
Education:B.S.
in Physics, Harvard
Weight:107 lbs
Special Skills:Materials
and element analysis
Place of Birth:Tamales Bay, CA
Marital Status:Single
Background:
Attended graduate school in theoretical physics. Worked in the San Francisco coroner’s office for
five years, then transferred to the San Francisco crime lab before being contracted by Gil Grissom to come to Las Vegas.
Bio:
Sara
was born and raised an hour and a half outside of San Francisco on Tamales Bay. An only child of ex-hippies running a B and
B, Sara always needed a bigger stage. Everything about her as a child was outsized. Her intelligence, her energy, her curiosity.
And unlike her parents, Sara always maintained perfect self-discipline. Growing up, the roles were reversed for Sara and her
parents. They kept telling her to take it easy, and she kept coming up with business models for how they could take their
B and B public and then franchise the brand. Sara was pretty much all or nothing in high school, and as talented as she was,
grace didn’t come with the package. The other kids resented her, and she did nothing to ease the resentment. Sara was
a perfect example of why great athletes make rotten coaches. Things come so easy to them, they can’t understand why
everyone else doesn’t perform to their level. At eighteen, Sara found a place where she could be at home. She went to
Harvard and enjoyed four of the best years of her life. She took as many classes as she could. She went to as many parties
as she could. And she finally dated. Not well, but at least she tried. Like any tragic figure worth their salt, Sara has a
single flaw: people. She can solve any problem except for the problem of other people and how she’s supposed to relate
to them. So she hides in the job. She pursues her career rigorously, perhaps more so than any of the other CSIs. Partly because
she’s still rebelling against her parents’ “lax” approach to social obligations, and partly because
she’s afraid of what she’d find out about herself if she ever slowed down.
Cathrine Willows
CSI
Level:Three
Date
of Birth:03/26/63
Height: 5’6”
Education:B.S.
in Medical Technology, UNLV
Weight: 104 lbs
Special
Skills:Blood spatter analysis
Place of Birth:Bozeman, MT
Marital Status:Divorced
Bio:
Catherine was born on a ranch in western Montana. She was the eldest daughter of
fourth-generation ranchers, but the rural life was never for her. Catherine could ride before she could walk, but horses were
always for taking her away from work. She left home for the first time as a sixteen-year-old. She lived in Seattle for a year
with her would-be rock-star boyfriend, eking out a living as a waitress. When he left her for an older woman, she went home…to
find home wasn’t there anymore. Her parents had been forced to sell their ranch and moved to town. They made it clear
that Catherine was on her own. The next stop for Catherine was Las Vegas. She waited tables until she discovered a much more
lucrative line of work: exotic dancing. The men loved her and the money poured in. Catherine spent it all on school and the
aspiring career of her music-producing boyfriend, Eddie. Dating turned to engagement which turned to marriage. When their
turbulent quasi-romance ended, Eddie left her with ten dollars in the bank, a coke habit, and a small child, Lindsey. Catherine
pulled it together for her own sake and for the sake of her daughter. She didn’t become a CSI because she wanted to
right the wrongs of the world - she became a CSI because it makes her feel like a kid solving puzzles. She loves the challenge
and she loves the buzz of working a case. It’s a high for her - and anything that makes Catherine feel as good as she
does can’t be all bad.
Nick Stokes
CSI Level: Three
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 155
lbs
Place of Birth: Dallas, TX
Date of Birth: August 18, 1971
Education: B.S. in Criminal Justice,
Rice University
Special Skills: Hair and fiber analysis
Marital Status: Single
Bio: The
last child in a family of seven, Nick was born into law enforcement. His father worked as the state D.A. before being appointed
to the bench. Two years ago, Nick's father was appointed to the Texas State Supreme Court. Nick's mother has spent her entire
adult life working as a public defender. They have been happily-married for 45 years. With one brother and five sisters, Nick
had a lot of people looking out for him. Maybe that's why everything feels so personal to Nick. He has no distance from his
work because he's always been close to people. Where Sara struggles with relationships, Nick can't help himself. Being with
and around people is so easy for him. What's hard is balancing the unspoken but competing perspectives of his parents. He
wants to live up to their expectations, and becoming a CSI was one way of finding a compromise. Being a cop was too much for
his father. As a CSI, he's objective. He still has social responsibility to uphold, but does his job without an agenda. The
evidence speaks and everyone has to respect what it says, both public defenders as well as judges on the bench. Nick could
still be in Texas, but he chose to move two states over. There's a part of Nick that loves his family and his family name,
but there's a part of him that wants to be on his own, to lay down his own roots and establish his own identity. What he's
finding is that roots don't take quickly. Growing them is a slow process fraught with mistakes.and Nick isn't finished
Warrick Brown
CSI Level:
Three
Height: 6'2
Weight: 190
lbs
Place of Birth: Las
Vegas, NV
Date of Birth: October 10, 1970
Education: B.S. in Chemistry, UNLV
Special Skills: Audio/Visual
analysis
Marital Status: Single
Bio:The only member of the
team born and raised in Las Vegas. To this day, Warrick has never met his father. His mother passed away when Warrick was
seven, leaving Warrick in the care of his maternal grandmother. He grew up in a strict household, and that meant he kept his
position as a runner a secret from his grandmother. Warrick was quite literally born to live in Vegas. He loves the casinos,
loves the action, loves the pulse of the city. He can move just as easily through the Clark County courthouse as he can through
the Sportsbook at Hard Rock. To let off steam, he DJs at clubs run by his friends, and writes his own songs. Spending his
whole life in the city means Warrick knows at least one person in every bar, club, and hotel in the city. He's connected,
and he uses those connections to move between his worlds. He went through a lot of women in his early twenties, but the first
time he fell in love, the woman broke his heart. He now looks at women with a cautious eye. Warrick knows how all the games
are played in Las Vegas and is aware of the universal truth of the city . the only one who wins consistently is the house
because the odds are stacked. Warrick's got enough of a rebel in him to challenge those odds, and enough of a realist in him
to know the only one watching out for him is him, so he'll cut his losses to fight again another day if need be.
Greg Sanders
CSI Level: Lab Technician/CSI-in-training
Height: 5'10
1/5"
Weight: 155 lbs
Place
of Birth: San Gabriel, CA
Date of Birth: May 5, 1975
Education: B.S. in Chemistry, UC Berkeley
Special Skills: DNA Analysis
Marital Status: Single
Bio:Since picking up
his first amateur chemistry kit when he was seven, Greg Sanders has wanted to be a scientist. Even though he was told that
science was supposed to be a hobby of the pasty-faced and romantically challenged, that did not dissuade him from joining
the Science Club in high school, nor from majoring in chemistry in college. He has always balanced lab work with athletics;
studying with flirting; and computer work with dating. Addicted to the pursuit of knowledge, he has been on a quest to learn
all he can about the scientific breakthroughs of past centuries. And discovering and naming a brand-new theory or element
after himself wouldn't hurt, either
Jim Brass
CSI
Level: Homicide Detective, Las Vegas PD.
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 163 lbs
Place
of Birth: Newark, NJ
Date of Birth: January 3, 1953
Education: B.A. in History, Seton Hall University
Marital
Status: Divorced
Bio: Brass was born into a
middle-class family in Newark. When the riots hit in the mid-sixties, Brass was in college. Something about the injustice
made him decide on a career in law enforcement. He approached his job with the zeal of a reformer, and at first Brass gained
a great deal of notoriety for his tenacious investigative style. Unfortunately, tenacious investigators tend to be indiscriminate.
When they see someone do something wrong, they go after the crime. Even if the criminals are cops. And that's what happened
to Brass. He became a Serpico-like figure in New Jersey. He cleaned up the department and the effort cost him his marriage
and what little relationship he had with his daughter. When the dust cleared, Brass headed for Second Chance City, landing
at CSI. He could get his fix of the investigative process without having to expend any personal capital. His life gently slid
into strip bars and J and B doubles and all was well enough until a young newbie named Holly Gribbs showed up. Her death cost
Brass his job and in some ways his peace of mind. Since she died, he's been transferred back to homicide. He's not sure if
he likes it, but it's familiar and it's easy,
Name- Al Robbins,
MD
CSI level- Coroner
Height- 5’9”
Weight- 179
Place of birth- Church Falls,
VA
Date of birth- 1-19-52
Education- M.S. in Biological
Chemistry, University of Virginia
M.D./Ph.D in Physiology, Johns
Hopkins University
Marital status- Married
Previous employment- After
completing his residency at Johns Hopkins. Robbins opened a clinic in the inner harbor area of Baltimore. He worked as a general
Practitioner for 20 years before chronic budget shortfalls and the practices of the newly powerful HMO’s forced him
to close the clinic’s doors.
Strictly out of academic curiosity,
he became Assistant Coroner for the Arlington, VA. Police dept., where he worked his way up to Coroner in two years. After
putting in four years in Arlington, he transferred to Las Vegas. He has become the Chief Medical Examiner in Las Vegas for
the past five years.Bio- born to a single mother in an area when everyone came from a two parent household, Robbins spent
his life as an underdog.
Spurned by his peers, he took
solace in books from an early age, discovering his aptitude for academia. His mother worked as a nurse, so Robbins spent most
nights in the local hospital. The doctors and nurses unofficially adopted him and they not only gave him free reign of the
premises, they allowed him to assist in any number of activities the chronically shorthanded faculty required. From stocking
shelves as a ten year old, to assisting in simple surgeries as a teenager. Robbins knew more about the hospital than some
of the doctors that worked there. He put that knowledge to work when he opened his own clinic. Many years of fighting the
good fight eventually left him drained and after shifting into what felt like a natural career change for him (medicine is
all about life and death) he , his wife and their 3 children packed up and moved to Las Vegas. He’s free to pursue his
own interests, both at work and at home, and that’s the way he likes it right now. His medical career has somewhat followed
the path he envisioned for himself… but his personal life has exceeded his wildest expectations. His wife and children
have replaced books as the center of his life and nothing will ever change that.
David Hodges-
David Hodges was a prior employee of the Los Angeles crime Lab. After being moved to Las Vegas, Hodges applied at the LVPD
Crime Lab as a Trace Anlalyst. With his rudeness and stuborness, Hodges makes his name known.
