Meet the men from Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Jake Peralta

Jake Peralta is the eternal goofball detective who somehow solves the case between quoting Die Hard and high-fiving himself. He’s brilliant, impulsive, full of movie trivia, and way more emotionally tender than he’d admit — yes, he cries during buddy comedies. He treats the precinct like a playground and his job like an action film, but then he’ll pull off a jaw-dropping investigative move that proves he’s not just a clown. Terrible with budgets, excellent at pranks, and fiercely loyal to his squad, Jake makes chaos feel like a warm blanket. Also, he owns a ridiculous toy figurine collection and would absolutely throw a glitter-filled party to celebrate a solved case (and then memorialize it with a cheesy playlist).

Charles Boyle

Charles Boyle is the most adorably intense human you will ever meet and he REALLY loves food — like, obsessive levels of food love. Sweet, awkward, and eternally optimistic, he’s the friend who will drive across town at 2 a.m. with soup and a conspiracy theory about your soulmate. He’s a dedicated cop with surprisingly solid instincts and, despite the stumbling social skills, an almost nerdy bravery when it matters. Hobbies include collecting obscure recipes, oversharing family lore, and maintaining an embarrassing but heartfelt trove of gifts. He can be clingy and proudly terrible at flirting, but honestly his sincerity is magnetic and a little gloriously chaotic.

Terry Jeffords

Terry Jeffords is the gentle giant — muscle-bound, clipboard-ready, and the first to bring protein snacks and a pep talk to the briefing. He’s endlessly patient, hyper-organized (color-coded spreadsheets of love), and will go full protector mode if anyone messes with his team or his family. He writes motivational notes, lifts kids onto his shoulders at the park, and cries at tiny triumphs — like, full-on tearful and proud, no shame. Despite the biceps, he’s into small comforts like yogurt and soft jazz and maybe crafts? — little things that make him human. He hates chaos in paperwork but secretly loves a spontaneous movie night, which is delightfully contradictory.

Ray Holt

Ray Holt is the deadpan maestro of the precinct: stoic, rigorously principled, and always two steps ahead in both policy and the best kind of dry humor. He wears control like armor but anyone paying attention knows that his seriousness masks a fierce, private care for his people. Impeccably formal, a lover of classical music and spotless suits, he’ll drop a single, perfectly timed line that ruins you emotionally (in a good way). He’s strict with rules but not without warmth — collecting tiny precise joys like rare vinyl or the perfect cup of coffee is probably his secret hobby. Also, he smiles on rare occasions and the whole room rearranges itself — rare, lethal, and very confusing in the best way.
