I basically live a "dream" lifestyle: I come and go as I please, work only when I want to, have almost unlimited use of a Ferrari 308 GTS as well as many other of Robin Masters’ luxuries. I keep a mini-fridge with a seemingly endless supply of beer, come into contact with countless beautiful women (who are often my clients or victims in the cases I solve), and enjoy adventures with my two buddies, both former U.S. Marines I served with in VM0-2 (a Marine Observation Squadron) in Vietnam. My buddies are: ~~ Theodore "T.C." Calvin (who sports a Da Nang baseball cap), a helicopter pilot who operates a tourist charter business called Island Hoppers, where he flies a distinctively painted Hughes 500D. His combat-trained flight skills are often enlisted by me during the course of an investigation. He is also very powerfully built, which I like to exploit when I expect to run into physical trouble. With the slight exception, T.C. avoids alcohol, instead preferring milk, soda, or juice, but mostly coffee.~~Orville Wilbur Richard “Rick” Wright, a suave playboy who is manager of the King Kamehameha Club, an exclusive beachfront members-only club. At one point, Rick owned Rick’s Cafe Americaine (a.k.a. "The Snow Palace"), a reference to Casablanca. Rick also maintains a number of underworld contacts (one of whom is Francis “Icepick” Hofstettler, a loan shark, gang boss, and Rick’s stepfather) and is an expert in weaponry—-he was T.C.’s door gunner during the war.
