Patrick Jane

Patrick Jane is a Independent consultant to the California Bureau of Investigation. He uses his keen powers of observation, his brilliant mind and his talent for mischief to solve crimes. Despite his lack of limits and disrespect for the protocol, he is valued because his tricks, devices and mind games end the cases. His motivation for joining CBI is to find and kill Red John. Jane previously worked as a psychic and became a celebrity. In a TV interview, Jane taunted Red John, a serial killer, saying: "He's an ugly, tormented little man, a lonely soul, sad, very sad." This prompted Red John to murder Jane's wife, Angela Ruskin Jane, and daughter, Charlotte Anne Jane. Ever since, Jane's life purpose has been to avenge his family by killing Red John.
