Personal Information

• Description: “The man had the look of a sun-bleached cowboy, from his shit-eating grin to his worn-heeled boots.”
• Hair: Wheat-colored
• Eyes: Bottle-green
• Occupation: Lieutenant, Illegals, NYPSD

Description

• He was plenty pretty with wheat-colored hair curling around a tan, lived-in face that creased appealingly around bottle-green eyes. He has a long, straight nose, the quick wink of a sly dimple at the corner of a grinning mouth.
• His body looked like it could ride the range just fine; he smelled of soap and leather and had long, lanky legs.
• He’s got style and a great butt.

Personality

• He let his gaze linger on Eve’s mouth for a beat, with a kind of talent that missed insulting by miles and bull’s-eyed on flattering. He told her, “You know, Eve, you’ve got eyes like good, aged whiskey. Sure brings out a powerful thirst in a man.”
• He’s ambitious and has an exemplary record.
  • He told Eve that, once they go public with the Immortality drug and the busts, he’s going to get a set of captain’s bars.
• Despite his many annoying qualities, Casto had solid instincts.

History

• He said he’s got twelve years on the streets.
