This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Chicago P.D.. The article deals with the series' main, recurring, and minor characters.
Detective Jay Halstead previously appeared on Chicago Fire as an undercover cop assigned to take down a local mobster-cum-thug. He requests a transfer to the Intelligence Unit after the assignment ended with him getting shot but successfully arresting the mobster. Chicago P.D. begins a month following his transfer. Aside from the undercover assignment that served as a premise for his transfer to Intelligence, little is known about his early CPD career, except that he was already friends with Antonio Dawson prior to the transfer and that he had joined after serving in the military.
Halstead is the brother of Will, an attending at the (fictional) Chicago Medical Center and a main character in Chicago Med. Jay had previously stated that he had "no beneficiaries" and did not speak of any family members, implying that he either had no one or, if he did, was estranged from them. It was eventually revealed with the introduction of his brother that their mother had died of cancer. They are said to be estranged from their father; Jay had not spoken to him for "a year...probably two" while Will, although still maintaining contact with him, refers to him as "the old man" and chose to move in with Jay rather than their childhood home. Will had moved to New York City for medical school and was overseas doing humanitarian work in Sudan but hit a rough patch when his relationship with a girl did not work out. Their mother's death was a sore point as Jay still harbored some lingering resentment over the fact that Will was "out partying" (presumably to get over his ex-girlfriend). Otherwise, the brothers share a close relationship and look out for one another. The Halsteads are from a middle or working class Irish Catholic background, based on the fact that both brothers attended Catholic school and Will's statements about being an altar boy and growing up in Canaryville, a historically Irish neighborhood in the South Side of Chicago. Jay once mentioned to his partner Erin Lindsay that their grandfather has a cabin in rural northern Wisconsin. He briefly referenced being ostracized by his more affluent counterparts at a private school and it is very likely that he went to De La Salle Institute with Will, who had also been bullied at school (although for his academic prowess).
