Horatio Caine
As a child, Horatio was a victim of domestic violence (his mother was killed by his father), which accounts to his comparatively extreme reactions in abuse cases. Caine then worked in New York City as detective with the NYPD. It was there that he killed his father. In 1995, while on the job, he was stabbed while investigating a case in which children were locked in closets while their parents were murdered. The perpetrator, Walter Resden, harbored a deep grudge against Caine, collecting the blood from the stabbing and preserving it for 10 years in order to frame him for the murder of Caine's girlfriend, Rachel Turner.

After his arrival in Florida, Horatio joined the Miami-Dade Police as a homicide detective but later transferred to the bomb squad, where he was mentored by Al Humphries, an older cop whom Caine highly respected and considered a good friend; Humphries was later killed after accidentally triggering a bomb he was attempting to disarm (Losing Face). Horatio worked undercover as "John Walden" in Pensacola, Florida for sometime during the early 1990s (this is the date given on the show, despite the fact it was previously understood on the show that Horatio worked in New York until at least 1995). During his time there, he dated a woman he believed to be named Julia Eberlie, and the two conceived a son named Kyle. Horatio would not be aware of Kyle's existence for another sixteen years. Sometime later he returns to Miami and to being a detective, in "Out Of Time" he references previously working on the bomb squad. Finally, Caine moved to the Crime Lab, accepting a promotion to lieutenant, which earned him the animosity of Sergeant Rick Stetler, who was also vying for the rank. When veteran CSI Megan Donner went on personal leave following the death of her husband, Horatio became the permanent head of the lab.

A superb marksman, Caine doesn't hesitate to use deadly force when needed. He is also an ardent advocate of the death penalty for particularly heinous crimes, and doesn't think twice about threatening suspects with it in such cases. In the first two seasons, Caine carried a Beretta Cougar on the job. Since the beginning of season three, he has been shown carrying a SIG-Sauer P229. He is very insistent on gun maintenance, especially since team member Tim Speedle was killed in a shootout after his gun misfired because of the lack of maintenance. In fact, one of the reasons for Caine's nearly on-the-spot selection of Officer Ryan Wolfe as Tim Speedle's replacement (in episode 303, "Under the Influence") is Wolfe's compulsive care of his firearm due to OCD.

Keigo Kurusu
Keigo Kurusu was a detective with the Sakurami Police Department working on the cases relating to the actions of Takao Hayama and Minene Uryuu. Keigo learned that his son was diagnosed with a terminal cancer and had only about a month to live. Shortly afterwards, Keigo was approached by a being claiming to be God and give a cell phone which could predict certain aspects of his future, Keigo's case, the actions of criminals he was investigating. Keigo is told that he has been entered in a battle to become the next god, and must eliminate his 11 opponents. Keigo is determined to kill off the other "diary holders" and gain divine power to save his son's life, at one point allying himself with Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai, only to later betray them.
