User:Ghost Hunter 85/Perry



Captain Leighton Perry is the head of the Homicide division in the Philadelphia police department. Like his subordinate, Lieutenant Carter Blake, Perry is unsubtly disdainful of Norman Jayden's presence, telling him frankly upon their first meeting that he feels the FBI's interest in the case is unnecessary. He shows much more favor towards Blake's forceful practices - "He has his own methods, but he's a good cop" - than he does toward Jayden's analytical approach. He is somewhat more reasonable than Blake, as when Norman presents his profile he respectfully listens and silences Blake's angry outbursts. Nonetheless, it is obvious his interests lie more in his relationship with the press and having the Origami Killer investigation come to a close than finding the true killer, as he simply accepts Blake's conviction that Ethan Mars is the killer, even though there is no real evidence.

In the extended version of Jayden Blues (if Ethan is arrested in Fugitive), Jayden complains to Perry about Blake's violent interrogation; Perry simply reasons that saving Shaun Mars' life justifies violating a suspect's rights -- a means to a greater end. In Under Arrest, Perry calls a press conference announcing the arrest of the Origami Killer without having gotten a confession from Ethan -- ironically it is Blake who objects to this, albeit halfheartedly. If Jayden decides to accuse Blake of being the Origami Killer, Perry removes him from the case. If Jayden dies during the course of the investigation, Perry unenthusiastically attends the funeral, although he allows Blake to avoid it -- he also lets him keep Jayden's ARI glasses. If Ethan is shot by the police at the warehouse while Jayden is alive, there is a brief mention during the epilogue that both Blake and Perry are being suspended for an unspecified period of time pending investigation. If Shaun dies, the news report will mention that Perry has resigned from the force.
