Cedric Daniels

Cedric Daniels is a fictional character on the HBO drama The Wire, played by actor Lance Reddick. He is a reasonably well regarded officer in the department whose focus is on decent police work and quality arrests. He tends to have disagreements with some higher-ranking officers but for the most part performs quite well, completing most tasks in a satisfactory fashion, while gaining a reputation as both a reasonably reliable commander and a an above-average investigator within the department. Daniels has been investigated by the FBI for corruption, and was found to have "a couple hundred thousand more in liquid assets than any police Lieutenant should ever have". By the end of the series he rose through the ranks to commissioner but subsequently resigned after refusing a political request to manipulate crime statistics. He ends the series working as a lawyer.

    Kittering’s brain. What we will he think when he resumes life in that body? Will he thank us for giving him a new lease on life? Or will he object to finding his ego living in that human junk heap?
