Line 21:
* [[Guile Hero]]: Has run gambits on criminals before, as well as once maneuvering a diplomat whose son was a rapist into unintentionally giving him a DNA sample.
** One recurring character says he should run for mayor, because though he states he hates politics, he is ''very'' good at it.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]: Despite being able to adapt with the times, their scenes together show that Frank is very close to Henry.
* [[The Patriarch]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: Frank continues to carry his old snubnose .38 Special revolver, despite his father telling him he should switch to a semiautomatic for more firepower. In one scene, Frank [[Boom! Headshot!|demonstrated he doesn't need to]].
* [[The Stoic]]: But it doesn't mean he's heartless.
* [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]]: Became [[The Stoic]] due to this, having seen many terrible things in the line of duty and bottling it up to keep from spilling over onto his family.
* [[Semper Fi]]: Was a Marine in [[Vietnam War]].
 
=== Henry Reagan ===
[[File:Henry_Reagan_8004.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Played by [[Len Cariou]]}}
 
Great-grandpa of the Reagan family. Was a hardbitten [[Da Chief]] in his day; now dispenses wisdom and advice.

=== Danny Reagan ===
[[File:Danny_Reagan_5663.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Played by [[Donnie Wahlberg]]}}
 
Ambiguously the eldest of the Reagan siblings<ref>it's either him or Erin, and the series has not cleared it up yet</ref>, Danny is a police detective assigned to Manhattan. He is [[Happily Married]] and has two sons.
Line 55:
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Very much so.
* [[Happily Married]]: To his [[My Girl Back Home|wife]], Linda.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Generally behaves like a jerk towards his youngest brother Jamie; Frank explains to Jaime that it's because Danny can't bear the thought of losing another brother, so he tries to [[Stealth Mentor]] him.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Generally sour towards the world in general, but gets up every morning to make New York a better place because he loves this city.
* [[Not Love Interest]]: To his partner Jackie. During the rare instances where she and his wife Linda are onscreen at the same time, it's quite clear Linda has no problem with her.
Line 64:
=== Jamie Reagan ===
[[File:Jamie_Reagan_1751.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Played by [[Will Estes]]}}
 
The youngest of Frank Reagan's surviving children, and a rookie cop. A Harvard Law graduate, he changed his mind about being a lawyer and joined the NYPD partly because of his dead brother Joe, and partly because he wanted to help people more than he wanted to make money.
 
* [[By the -The-Book Cop]]: Very much so; this is part of the tension between him and Danny.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Any life insurance company that sells to him doesn't know it's job.
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Big Brother]]: Shoulda been a Harvard Lawyer, but joined the NYPD instead because of his dead brother Joe.
* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Jamie cannot resist a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]].
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Is very idealistic.
* [[The Infiltration]]: After he saved the life of mob heir Noble Sanfino while in plainclothes at the beginning of season 2, he has occasionally gone undercover in the Sanfino organization.
Line 77:
* [[The McCoy]]
* [[New Meat]]: Much of the focus on him is his professional and personal growth as a cop.
* [[Old Cop, Young Cop]]: with Renzulli
* [[Swallow the Key]]: Frank Reagan didn't raise no fools. When confronted by some mob brokers, Jamie hastily swallows the thumbdrive he used to hack into their finances.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: When the Sanfinos put out a hit on his alias and on Noble, he saved Noble's life ''again'' and coolly talked him into testifying.
 
=== Erin Reagan-Boyle ===
[[File:Erin_Reagan-Boyle_1027.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Played by [[Bridget Moynahan]]}}
 
Frank's daughter and Danny's and Jamie's sister, she is an Assistant District Attorney for Manhattan. She was married to a defense attorney, but they divorced before the series began and she is now a single mom. Her daughter Nicky recently raised her ire by deciding she wants to be the first female Reagan to become a cop.
 
* [[Crusading Lawyer]]: A more realistic model than others as she still gets mired in bureaucracy. Some episodes feature her turning her artillery on one of her own office who has gone corrupt and one features her looking for outside help to make sure a defendant that looked to be railroaded got a good defence.
* [[Glamorous Single Mother]]: Averted. Erin expertly juggles work and her teenage daughter, but has little time left for a social life.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: She is more well mannered then Danny, but she at times is ruthless enough to please General Sherman.
* [[Hello Attorney]]: Yes, she is hot.
* [[Iron Lady]]
* [[Hello, Attorney!]]: Yes, she is hot.
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: If she wants an evildoer to be her witness or informant she will never do anything that looks like the [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]. She will just in such a soft feminine way tell them that she knows how to make them wish they had never been born.
* [[Overprotective Mom]]
* [[Principles Zealot]]: Is strongly committed to her principles and the law, and doesn't like Danny's cowboy cop tendencies. She has been known to bend on occasion, though.
 
=== Nicole Reagan-Boyle ===
[[File:Nicky_Reagan-Boyle_7770.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Played by Sami Gayle}}
 
Erin's daughter. She recently decided she wants to be the first female Reagan to join the NYPD. [[Sarcasm Mode|Her mom was thrilled.]]
Line 105 ⟶ 110:
 
=== Sgt. Anthony Renzulli ===
{{quote| played by Nicholas Turtello}}
 
Jamie's partner and training officer. Recently took public credit for a rescue performed by Jamie in order to keep the latter's face out of the press for the benefit of the Sanfino undercover operation.
 
* [[Donut Mess Withwith a Cop]]: Likely donuts. At least it sure is [[High Fat Index|something.]]
* [[Old Cop, Young Cop]]: To Jamie. He is the old one.
* [[Street Smart]]
 
=== Officer Edit Janko ===
{{Quote|played by Vanessa Ray}}
 
Another partner of Jamie's and friend or love-interest depending on the stage of the show (and [[Will They or Won't They?|their mood at the time]]). Jamie grooms her as Renzulli had groomed him.
 
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Jamie.
*[[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Rather like Jamie in this respect. Though for [[Chick Magnet|some reason]] a disproportionate number of those Jamie helps happen to be young, female, and aesthetically pleasing.
*[[Fair Cop]]: On a couple of episodes she volunteers as the "bait" cop for a sting, and once actually contrives to get herself [[Mugging the Monster|kidnapped]] by a [[Sex Slave|trafficking ring.]]
*[[Friend to All Children]]: More than a bit. And on at least one or two occasions it embarrasses her (such as when a street urchin plays her for a fool in ''The Bogeyman'' episode).
*[[Gender Blender Name]]: Referred to as Eddie.
*[[Not So Different]]: In many ways a [[Distaff Counterpart]] of Jamie.
*[[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: When she is [[Will They or Won't They?|Finally]] betrothed to Jamie she regularly attends Reagan family dinners. She is more than a bit perplexed at their riotuous political quarrels at the dinnertable.
*[[Parental Issues]]: Unlike Jamie she does not come from a clan of patricians raised to a civic spirit any Roman would boast of. She has an embarrassing mother and a father who is rotting away in prison for stock fraud.
*[[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Not exactly sickening. But she and Jamie are definitely a very cute couple. And they very cutely [[Beware the Nice Ones|thump people with nightsticks.]]
*[[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: With Jamie

== Recurring Characters ==
=== Noble Sanfino ===
{{quote| Played by [[Eric Morris]]}}
 
While in plainclothes at a bar during the Season 2 premiere, Jamie Reagan saved a young man's life from an accidental overdose. The guy turned out to be Noble Sanfino, the heir to a major crime syndicate. NYPD's Organized Crime division parlayed Jamie's brownie points into an undercover assignment for the rookie cop.
 
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Contract Onon the Hitman]]: When Noble's associates figure out that Jamie was a spy, his own uncle puts out a hit on them both.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: On one time when a rival gangster [[Mugging the Monster|accidently]] gives him an overdose at a bar, he has him kidnapped and force feeds him ''exactly'' what he took, and no more.
* [[Evil Virtues]] : Gratitude to Jamie. Ironically this turns out to be his [[Fatal Flaw]].
* [[Ironic Name]]: A gangster named ''Noble''?
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Jamie thought him this and was genuinely remorseful at realizing he had ruined Noble's life even though it was [[Nothing Personal]] and Noble would have [[Moral Myopia|done the same without blinking]] if ordered to.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]
* [[Xanatos Sucker]]
 
=== Mayor Carter Poole ===
{{quote| Played by [[David Ramsay]]}}
 
Mayor of New York starting in season 2.
Line 164 ⟶ 185:
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Seems to work pretty well with Frank, too, though politics puts them at cross-purposes once in a while.
