Elvis Firelet is a side character in Gun Wounds. Aside from being the captain of the main policemen squad, he is like a father figure to the main characters.

## Appearance

Despite being old, Firelet has a great body underneath his clothes. His brawny stature helped him to be a good captain. He stopped to try to hide his grey hair and now he is fully comfortable with his brown and grey hair. He has a lot of wrinkles under his brown eyes and has a very well maintained mustache that also suffers from grey hairs unfortunately. His very masculine self got him a lot of praises and flirt from mature women though. Even though his body is aging, he still has a lot of strength to be capable enough to remain captain.

When not on duty, he tends to wear wool clothings with light colors. He likes to wear jeans as well and despises capri pants. No many people see him out of work but when he is fully at ease, for example when he's at home, Firelet likes to wander in blue tank top and green shorts, he even has a special set of slippers that he only uses when he's all alone. He's been carrying them around since the age of 28.

## Personality

Firelet is a very frank and serious man. He tends to be intransigent when it comes to following orders even if he seems to have a soft spot for a few policemen. He always says what's on his mind and wants to protect all of his co-workers no matter what, this side of him was shown in **Chapter 20: Plan and Feelings** when he chose to reject Michael and Quinn's request to bring a few policemen to Alban Carrucci's place before it goes down.

However, he represents a father figure to many of his colleagues and he seems to have willingly chose to be seen as such. Like Quinn, he is very respected among the police station and even beyond, he managed to earn the trust of many people and his seriousness is what granted him his captain position.

## Story

**Early Life**

Firelet's private life is very secretive. We know that he was already a Captain in the Boston Police Department before Michael Blake and Alexander Quinn joined the police station (revealed in Bonus Chapter (No.1)) but less in known about him personally. He seems close to Owen Patland, their relationship is similar to a father-son link.

**Ties with Carl Horton**

It was revealed in '**Chapter 19: Nice Nice Days** that Carl has an uncle and his identity was officially revealed as Captain Firelet in **Chapter 37: Collaboration** when Carl came to him to demand him to be a policeman. Firelet states himself that he considers himself as Carl's pseudo-father (which might imply that Carl doesn't have a father) and he seems to care very much about him.

When he allowed Carl to be a policeman, he chose Quinn to be his senior to guide him through the job which shows that he is very worried about Carl's well-being and wants him to be protected but also that Quinn is the only one that Firelet would entrust the life of his nephew.
