• Eyes: Steely blue
• Height: Well over 6 feet (over 182.88 cm)

Description

• Well over six feet tall, fighting trim, he preferred dark suits and vivid ties. His waving brown hair was tipped with gray. The gray highlights were added by his personal cosmetician.

• Whitney called Simpson a dickless son of a bitch.

History

Interesting Facts

• He authorized Gerald DeBlass access to any and all investigative data on Sharon DeBlass’s murder. He later ordered Eve and Feeney to travel to East Washington and update the senator in person. He and DeBlass have a personal and political allegiance.
• Simpson had been pushing buttons for DeBlass and had made a donation to the Conservative Party, to DeBlass’s campaign fund.
• During the five years of his jurisdiction, New York had lowered its crime rate by five percent; a full percentage a year.
• Whitney detested Simpson in every pore. When Simpson said that he could have Dallas and Feeney on Traffic Detail in a heartbeat, Whitney lunged to his feet and told him not to threaten his officers.
• Nadine said it was no secret that the asshole Simpson wanted to be governor; he ran for Chief on the Moderate ticket and, for the last few years he’d been removing the layers toward his Conservative ties.
• He was being blackmailed by Sharon DeBlass.
• Eve and Roarke first broke the law together to run an illegal computer search on Simpson; they also broke into the IRS database.
  • He owned a second home on Long Island and a collection of antique weapons.

  • He had also made a hefty monetary gift to the Moral Values group.
  • They found a Swiss bank account (#47891127499 – it contained more than two million dollars) that indicated that Simpson was on the take and verified that he was being blackmailed.
