Insolent but suave, the smouldering Rod Skase was scared of nothing and no one. Tall and handsome, he towered above many of his Sun Hill colleagues and had the arrogance to match his stature. Generally, his intelligence and dedication to the job meant that he tended to get away with an offhand manner, but his attitude did not always endear him to his colleagues, some of whom did not trust him at all. In his mind he ran CID, although more often than not his overwhelming self-confidence left him with egg on his face.
