Hank Griffin

Hank Griffin is a homicide detective with the Portland, Oregon police force. He is Nick Burkhardt's partner and close friend. Like Nick, hank is laid back and fair. They make excellent partners. He is a skilled detective and although unaware that Nick has a secret, he does know that Nick's ability to "see something" in people is uncanny, bordering on impossibly accurate. Hank was married at least three&mdash;and possibly four&mdash;times. The second marriage was to an anthropologist. We see that hank is socializing with Adelind Shade, the beautiful hexebeist in Captain Renard's service. It is most likely that Renard ordered Adelind to get close to hank in order to further his own plans for Nick.
