No birth time in canon. First impression: the tired inspector at the crime scene, hat in hand.
- Mercury

Taurus Mercury is plain-spoken. He says what he sees and doesn't dress it up.

- Mars
CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeVirgo
Virgo Mars works the case step by step. The legal side of every investigation rests on him.
What canon does give: a decent professional, no genius, who is not afraid to admit when he needs help. Taurus is the persistence. Capricorn is the badge.
