[CI5]  [George Cowley]  [WAP Bodie] [Ray Doyle]


The ProfessionalsCI5
(Criminal Intelligence 5)
The Action Squad, The Big A, The Squad.

 

Their charter is to fight criminals and terrorists or anyone else who threatens the Motherland, with their own weapons. They use the tactics of the criminals against them. They have unlimited power to do almost anything short of actual murder as long as it is sanctioned by George Cowley.

The men and women of CI5 are taken from every walk of life; from the cops to the intelligence agencies to criminals. All are given their chance at the straight and narrow. Although most of the agents are loyal to England all of them are loyal to George Cowley; he demands it, along with complete obedience.

 

Bodie and Doyle are a team: Chalk Cheese, The Bisto Kids, Nitro and Glycerin. Total opposites but with a sort of telepathy between them. They work as two halves of a whole. They can be separated but not split up. They care about each other and will kill anyone who tries to hurt their other half.

Bodie and Doyle can act like a couple of kids when they are together, always trying to out do each other. But when the scene calls for it, they are consummate professionals all the way.

Raymond Doyle: the other half of Cowley's best team

Raymond Doyle
(Martin Shaw)

 

Answers to: Ray, Doyle, and a myriad of effeminate and embarrassing nicknames chosen by his partner
Nicknames: Bionic Golly, Golly, Sunshine, Angelfish, Goldilocks, Doyle, Ray, Raymondo, Curlytop, and more
Height: 5’11"
Hair: Brown with red and gold highlights, very curly, and kept long.
(NOTE: Martin Shaw's hair is fairly straight. It was curled for the show, and you can tell by its bushiness when it needed to be permed again.)
Eyes: Green, or moss green
Age: 32 at the outset of the show
Body: Slender, wiry, barrel chested, stronger than he looks. Moves like a cat
Chest: Very hairy
Foods: Into health foods, eschews foods cooked in fats, and desserts, but is known to have these things on the side. He is not, as many fanfics say, a vegetarian.
Affectations:

Silver chain on his wrist, another around his neck. Dresses like an escapee from a dust bin, always in jeans and tee shirt, never wears a tie. In the latter seasons he was dressed up a bit more, even wearing sports jackets.

Likes the ladies, but would like a single relationship; that doesn’t stop him from shopping around, though. Would steal Bodie’s current girl given half a chance.

Past Jobs: ex-Metro cop (Detective Constable Doyle). Used to be on the Drugs squad and vice. Took art classes at one time and worked in a flower shop, he says.
Action: Has only been in England, but has seen a lot of the seamier side of life.
Weapons: Metro Champion with a hand gun, never misses. Knows small arms and explosives. Practices the Japanese arts of self-discipline (has his own Sen-sé)
