While Joe Bourquin seems to be more like the leader or boss between them both, Steve adopts the posture of the "cool" cop: the one who doesn't care much about the rules, joking when he gets the chance and not letting the cases affect him too much. When receiving an anonymous call (presumably from Adrian Veidt) telling them where to find Rorschach, Fine at first hears it as "Raw Shark," which is a parallel with the Black Freighter comic "Marooned." The call allows a police force to capture Rorschach. Fine was subsequently suspended. Eventually he is killed by the Alien Monster.
