Nigel Eckhart

"A tidy room is a tidy mind. If something is out of place in here, I won't be able to perform a thorough examination!"

- Nigel Eckhart

Nigel Eckhart is a main character appearing in Season 2 of Criminal Case, where he serves as the Chief Medical Examiner (Coroner) of Tristan City Police Department.

Profile
60 years of age, Nigel has short gray hair, a goatee and brown eyes. He wears a white t-shirt under an old green tartan frannel shiry under his white lab coat which has a pocket on his left side that holds a marker pen and a scalpel. He also wears rectangular glasses with silver frames.

Nigel is a neatnik and a perfectionist. He will never allow a single mistake at his lab, which causes some disputes between the coroner an his assistant Miles. He is also very envious about Blaine's position, as he claims he would do a better job keeping the city safe. However, he can be pretty sarcastic and when, he's not working, can be interesting to talk with.
