Captain **Jeffrey Fowler** is a human in *Detroit: Become Human*. He is in charge of the Detroit City Police Department central station (Post 9667) and he is Hank Anderson's superior.

## Biography

### Pre-game

Jeffrey Fowler was born August 8, 1982.

Fowler and Hank Anderson were classmates and have known each other for a long time.

Fowler previously served in the U.S. Air Force and Army where he achieved the rank of Master Sergeant and Sergeant First Class respectively. He is highly decorated with many awards and likely retired. In 2029, he saw his close friend Hank Anderson being promoted lieutenant after Hank secured high-profile arrests as part of the Red Ice Task Force and being an integral part of the force.

Fowler continued to climb through ranks up to police captain while Hank drowned in his personal problems, notably caused by his son's death.

### Game

In 2038, he is very disappointed by Lt. Hank Anderson's job performance and constantly needs to discipline Hank for his attitude. While Hank disagrees on taking android cases due to his unfamiliarity with technology, hatred of androids, and believing he is unqualified for the job. Fowler insists on putting him on the cases as most other officers are already burdened with cases and there is little choice left for Hank to take. He hopes this action will eventually force Hank to react and become a successful detective again.

### Waiting for Hank

He will be seen working in his office. When Hank arrives, Fowler will shout to Hank to come in his office. Fowler will tell him that he has decided to make him the investigator on deviant cases and assigns Hank to work with Connor. Hank, pissed off about this, objects, believing that he is not qualified for the job, to Fowler's anger and annoyance. Fowler tells him that Hank is more than qualified for the job and to be cooperative with Connor. He also threatens Hank to do his job and states that he hates having to file more disciplinary actions against Hank as it already looks like a “fuckin' novel”. Frustrated, Hank leaves his office, with Connor leaving if he decides to. If Connor talks to Fowler, he will yell at or ignore Connor.

### Last Chance, Connor

Jeffrey tells Hank and Connor that they are off the case and that the FBI has taken over the investigation. Jeffrey tells them that all evidence will be transferred to FBI custody.

If Hank has a hostile relationship with Connor, he will quit the force and turns in his badge and gun. Jeffrey will try to talk Hank out of quitting the force and tell him to take a vacation. But Hank will leave and Jeffery will be disappointed that Hank quit.

If Hank has a friendly relationship with Connor, he will storm out of the office. If Hank helps Connor by distracting FBI Special Agent Richard Perkins, Jeffery will be in his office working when Hank starts yelling at Perkins. He will get out of his office to see what is going on. Jeffrey will look surprised when Hank assaults Perkins and will not do anything to stop the fight or yell at Hank.

## Personality

Constantly in a bad mood and a real authoritarian, Fowler is also a respected captain and is appreciated by his men who know they can count on him. He is also a faithful friend who, despite Hank's outbursts, continues to do what he can to cover Hank's back.

Despite his respect and liking for Hank, he cannot always tolerate him. Whenever he complains about something he does not want to do, Jeffrey gets irritated and forces him to do what he says by angrily yelling at him.

Faced with the deviant android investigation, Fowler hopes it will be the case that finally forces Anderson to react and revert to the cop he once was...

He is a bald man who wears a light blue or dark blue shirt with a black tie and slacks.
