Read more about Hank Voight at: Wikipedia Official Site: NBC Henry "Hank" Voight is a fictional character in the television series Chicago P.D.. He appeared in a recurring capacity in Chicago Fire and as a main character in Chicago P.D., as the chief of the Chicago Police Department's Intelligence Unit, which operates out of the 21st District. Despite Voight's reputation as a suspected dirty cop and for using underhanded methods, he commands his unit's loyalty and respect. The character was initially introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who tries to cover up for his son and uses all means necessary to do so, including threatening Fire Lieutenant Matthew Casey, one of the protagonists of Chicago Fire. Voight's circumstances were eventually clarified with the creation of the spin-off Chicago P.D. However, he has a well-documented feud with Casey -as a result of what happened between them- and his interactions with the firefighters of 51 are marked by tension and suspicion, despite the fact that he manages to earn their grudging respect for his dedication to seeking justice for victims. Hank has a son named Justin whom he bails out in "Professional Courtesy" after he crashes into a van while under the influence of alcohol. As the result of Justin's recklessness, the boy (Mike Duffy), who was in the van, is paralyzed from the waist down, stopping him from playing hockey ever again. This incident marks the beginning of the tension between Hank and then-Lieutenant, now Fire Captain Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer). Hank is widowed; his wife Camille died six years prior to "Now I'm God" of ovarian cancer. Hank's father, Richard, was also a Chicago Police Officer, who was killed when Hank was 8.
