A seasoned interogator/investigator, Gibbs is the Special Agent, who heads a four man team in NCIS. He stands a good 5 foot 11, and is an intelligent, patient, and devoted friend, and almost a father to some.
Gibbs displays a continuous urgency about the investigation he pursues,
specifically when being given technical information about complex
subject matter. The typical response to such information is "Give it to me
in English", thus forcing the expert to get to the point
His hobby is woodworking. Gibbs is always shown to have a wooden-
hulled sailboat under construction in his basement, which he builds
entirely by hand using no power tools.
One of Gibbs' "trademarks" is that he will often slap the members of his team on the back of the head when displeased with their performance, though he does this mainly to Tony as opposed to other members. When Gibbs "retired", and Tony gained his position as leader for a short while, Tony often slapped the team members in a similar fashion.
Gibbs also has his own set of rules.
Rule #1: Never let suspects stay together.
Rule #2: Never screw over your partner.
Rule #3: Always wear gloves at a crime scene.
Rule #4: Don't believe what you're told. Double check.
Rule #5: Never be unreachable.
Rule #6: The best way to keep a secret? Keep it to yourself. Second best? Tell one other person - if you must. There is no third best.
Rule #7: Always be specific when you lie.
Rule #8: Never take anything for granted.
Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife.
Rule #12: Never date a coworker.
Rule #15: Always work as a team.
Rule #18: It's better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.
Rule #22: Never, ever bother Gibbs in interrogation.
Rule #23: Never mess with a Marine's coffee if you want to live.
