Early 50s, a high-flyer and a maverick, Boyd's assured, impatient, and a bit of a bully both to his suspects and occasionally to his team members.
Possessing overwhelming self-belief, he is firm in his convictions but lets go gracefully when proved wrong.
Boyd has a degree in History from Manchester University and upon graduating in 1971, joined the police force. He's not bent, but isn't above bending the rules when it suits him - only ever in the pursuit of justice. He takes special pleasure in taking down those in authority, often at the expense of his standing in the eyes of his superiors. He loves ruffling feathers.
Boyd has one dark spot in his past - his son went missing aged 17 whilst living on the streets in the 1990s. There were reports that he'd been murdered by a fellow down-and-out but the alleged killer died before Boyd could question him. This tragedy is behind Boyd's drive to solve cold cases. He is also deeply affected by the death of one of his team, Mel Silver, at the end of Series 5.
