Name: Horatio Caine
CSI Level/Rank: Three (Lieutenant)
Heigth: 6'/182cm
Weight: 180lbs/82kg
Place of Birth: Miami, Fl
Date of Birth: 04/07/1960
Education: B.S. in Chemistry (Florida State Univ.)
Special Skills: Arson, Explosives
Martial Status: Divorced
Raised in 1960s Miami, by age 16 Caine had experienced a lifetime: Civil Right marches, Cuban freedom fights, violent race riots, and the rise of drug culture.
His mother, a single parent in a time that did not favor such a definition of family taught Caine that strength resided in you mind, not your hand. Though she was demanding, her love protected him until she was killed by a drug dealer that she stood up to. At 17, while other teenagers were learning to disco, Caine set out to help the police find her killer. By the time the murderer was sentenced to life, Caine knew he had found his calling. To protect his city.
Caine entered the Police Academy after high school, but quickly discovered that the beat left him bored. When he realized that the evidence-cracking CSIs were the people who actually solved the crimes, he enrolled in university and, four years later, Chemistry degree in hand, he was a level I Criminalist with the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Rising quickly through the ranks, Caine grew frustrated with the departmental bureaucracy and threatened to quit. Al Humpries came to his rescue by offering to train him as his second-in-command with the Bomb Squad. Humpries became the father-figure Caine had never had.
When Megan Donner stepped down as head of the Crime Lab, the Police Chief asked Caine to take over. Although he had thrived as a member of the Bomb Squad, Cane missed what had drawn him to police work in the first place. The science of catching the bad guy. He accepted the position.
A three-dimensional thinker, Caine can rapidly understand how pieces fit into a puzzle. He knows that science ultimately provides the solution, but he also knows that there is more to crime-solving than blood spatter and DNA. When it comes to protecting his city, Horatio doesn't just trust science. He trusts his guts.
