Background and Personality
Warrick grew up in a strict household, and kept his position as a casino runner a secret from his grandmother. He once told Catherine that while he was a dork in high school, and still had dimples, he "got a little action". He was strongly influenced by a community organizer who ran a center that he spent time at after school.
Early in the series it is discovered that Warrick was a gambling addict. He even admitted to Sara Sidle that he counted cards. After an incident in the pilot episode that resulted in a rookie's death, Warrick's gambling addiction conflicted with a number of other team members. Sara did not get along with Warrick early in the series because she knew of his addiction, however they ended up becoming good friends and colleagues. Warrick also tended to not get along with Jim Brass early in the first season, but over several episodes, they appeared to patch things up.
Warrick is also sensitive to the difficulties of minorities. In I-15 Murders, he pays the bail for his protégé, Jason, whom he meets every week. Also, in Crate 'n Burial, Warrick shows understanding and sympathy for the young African American James Moore, who committed a hit and run that resulted in the death of a young girl. He offers advice before James is taken into custody and gives him his cell phone number. He tells James to contact him just in case trouble arises in prison.
Warrick maintained a strong friendship with fellow CSI Nick Stokes.
