3	!'''Milton "Milt" Chamberlain'''
4	->Portrayed by: Creator/JoshDuhamel
5
6	An FBI agent formerly of the Bureau's Detroit field office. He was transferred to Battle Creek due to the machinations of someone very high up the FBI hierarchy. Not much is known about his past and what little he does reveal only leads to more questions.
7	----
8	* BadassInANiceSuit: Milt is typically dressed in an expensive suit.
9	* ConsummateLiar: He is an incredibly smooth liar and is good enough to fool Agnew (himself a good liar) with a story about sleeping during 9/11.
10	* CowboyCop: Incredibly, the series finale reveals he'd once been a maverick cop who had no problem blackmailing an informant and bending the rules constantly.
11	-->'''Russ''': Why couldn't I have been partners with ''that'' Milt?!
12	* ExpansionPackPast: So far he's revealed that he spent part of his childhood in Monaco, went to high school in Tehran (where he learned Spanish), and speaks a number of languages from his globetrotting lifestyle.
13	* MyGreatestFailure: He [[spoiler: pressured a nice kid into becoming his informant for a deadly drug lord which got the kid killed. Milt was so rocked that he transformed himself into the rule-abiding nice guy.]]
14	* SharpDressedMan: Chamberlain wears well-tailored suits and custom shoes.
15	-->'''Agnew''': "How do you run in those shoes?"\
16	'''Chamberlain''': "Oh, I have an excellent cobbler."
17	* SpotlightStealingSquad: Everyone in Battle Creek is immediately enamored with Chamberlain, which upsets Agnew.
18	** Agnew and Chamberlain's first case together makes headline news. Chamberlain graciously shares credit with Agnew but the front page photo crops Agnew out. Holly throws out the paper before Agnew can see.
19	** The two later rush into a burning building. Although Agnew is the one to actually put out the fire, Chamberlain gets all the attention by virtue of carrying a victim to safety and into the eyes of the public.

23	!'''Russ Agnew'''
24	->Portrayed by: Creator/DeanWinters
25
26	Battle Creek's senior detective. He has an abrasive personality and doesn't particularly care about who he offends in the process of keeping his hometown safe. He doesn't particularly care about being forced to work with Chamberlain and is looking for ways to get rid of the FBI agent.
27	----
28	* DrivenByEnvy: He's definitely jealous of the fact that Milt has more resources and gets more praise than him, not to mention the fact that Milt has charmed basically everyone. It's implied that he wants to find out why Milton was sent to Battle Creek partially because of his jealousy and his desire to bring Milton down a peg.
29	* EveryoneCanSeeIt: The only person who's unaware that Agnew has a crush on Holly is Holly herself.
30	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Agnew has a personality so abrasive that his co-workers discourage him from giving death notifications because they're afraid he might make things worse just by being himself. But he's also a dedicated cop who wants nothing more than to make Battle Creek a better place.
