Lt Martin Poole is a detective with the NYPD after serving in the Military Police during WWI with the U.S Army in Europe. Most of time was spent as a liason with the local police force but did see some limited action on the front.

Stand at an imposing 6' 3", Poole fills a room with his frame. Not much a drinker of himself he frowns on alcohol excess in others but is not adverse to a drink if the situation permits.
