Barbara Kane
Commissioner Kane comes from a long line of good cops; her father, uncle, and grandfather were all police officers. She’s been a cop her entire professional life, so she knows what it’s like on the streets and working cases. She also knows from personal experience what the FCPD was like during the Moore administration: a department with a lot of hardworking and honest people undermined by budget cuts, politicians, and dirty cops both on the streets and in the halls of power. One of the things that got Barbara her job was her dedication in making sure that fate never befalls her department or city again.
Kane has thrown herself into her work and earned the respect of the officers under her command. She’s also dedicated to breaking organized crime in Freedom City, earning her the enmity of The Mob, which would like to see some terrible accident befall Commissioner Kane. She has the unwavering support of her husband, Fred, a tax attorney and junior partner at Hartford, Grayson & Cole. They have two adult children, Theresa and Aaron. The Kanes live in Bayview, and Commissioner Kane spends what little time off she has tending her garden in the spring and summer and cooking in the fall and winter.
Barbara Kane is in her early 60s, 5’5” and somewhat heavyset, her short, dark brown hair going gray but her blue eyes still with a hint of steel in them. She dresses conservatively and wears little jewelry beyond her wedding ring and a locket that belonged to her mother. She has a commanding presence that more than makes up for any lack of height and has swiftly earned the respect and cooperation of many of the city’s superheroes.
