สวัสดีครับ หลังจากที่ Blog จืดชืดไปนานมาแล้ว ก็ขอเริ่มโพสต์ใหม่เลยนะครับ เริ่มที่ตัวละครนะครับ เอา Boss ใหญ่ก่อน Leroy Jethro Gibbs [Gibbs]
Background
Gibbs' age has never been revealed, although Mark Harmon was born in
1951. It is shown in the episode "Heartland" that he grew up in rural Pennsylvania.[3] His father, Jackson Gibbs (played by Ralph Waite),
owns and still runs the Stillwater General Store. He is named after his
father's friend and partner in the store after they worked together in
the coal mines (Winslow Mining Company).[4] The younger Gibbs left Stillwater in 1976 at age 18–20[4] to join the Marine Corps
and, according to his own statements, did not return for over thirty
years. In a flashback scene in the episode, Jethro often provoked
violence with defiance to his father, who constantly comes to his
unwanted aid with a Winchester rifle or shotgun. He was also known
around the area as a delinquent, as said by the new sheriff, one of the
other delinquents during his teenage years, stating "Funny, never
expected to find you on the same side of the law." Gibbs' mother, Ann, is introduced in "Life Before His Eyes", the 200th episode. Like all of Gibbs' wives (one deceased and three divorced), she is a redhead. In Namesake,
it is stated that while she had been dying of cancer, she committed
suicide by overdose so her family would not have to watch her suffer. A former MarineGunnery Sergeant; Scout Sniper and military policeNon-commissioned officer,
Gibbs is portrayed as a consummate organizer, disciplined and
demanding. These traits often put him in a stand-off with other
authorities when they exert pressure on his team. In the JAG episode "Ice Queen", it is stated that he is a Marine reservist.
Although he has not served as an active Marine in some time, he retains
enough of his marksmanship skills to kill Ziva's captors in the
premiere of season 7, "Truth or Consequences", from an exceptionally
long distance and to outshoot a professional hit-man in "South by
Southwest". That he is a deadshot marksman is further evidenced in
"Hiatus" with flashbacks of him hitting a long-range headshot of his
family's murderer, who was driving a moving vehicle; in "Jeopardy" he
hits a kidnapper with a very swift killshot to the forehead—he takes
this shot while kneeling from inside a car trunk, with his left hand. In
the gunfight scene in "Bete Noire", with both men's weapons already
drawn, Gibbs double-taps Ari Haswari to the chest (who, unknown to
Gibbs, was wearing a vest) while Ari manages just one shot. In "Under Covers", Abby Sciuto wishes him "happy birthday" on November 10, referring to the Marine Corps birthday. Before the time in which NCIS is set, Gibbs traveled extensively on operations, particularly in Eastern Europe, demonstrated by many flashbacks, many including (now deceased) Director Jenny Shepard. In the season 4 episode "Singled Out", McGee asks Gibbs how long he
has been a special agent, to which Gibbs responds 16 years. This
contradicts Gibbs' statement in the JAG Season 8 Episode "Ice Queen",
when in response to Commander Rabb's question, "How long have you been
doing this Gibbs?", Gibbs responds, "19 years."
Relationships
Marriages and liaisons
Gibbs has been married four times, and divorced three. His first
marriage was kept a secret from nearly every one of Gibbs' current
acquaintances until the episode "Hiatus (Part I)".
The first hint of Gibbs' first family comes in the episode "Kill Ari
(Part I)". During "Honor Code", Gibbs looks after the six-year-old son,
named Zach, of a kidnapped Navy officer, much to the admiration of his
fellow agents and even his boss, who points out how well Gibbs works
with kids and asks if he has ever considered having any of his own. The
episode concludes with a brief montage of flashbacks of Gibbs spending
time with the boy in his basement working on a boat that he has been
building, with the boy wearing an old NIS sweatshirt, and then finally a
clip of a younger Gibbs wearing his Marine uniform, holding a young
girl, sanding the hull of a boat in Gibbs' basement, similar to the
image seen of Gibbs and Zach.[5]
By the start of season 3, Gibbs asks Ziva if she has prepared a dossier
on him, and whether she knows of his "first wife and daughter". She
answers "Yes."[6] In the episode "Heartland", it is revealed via flashbacks that Gibbs
met his first wife, Shannon, while waiting at the Stillwater,
Pennsylvania train platform in 1976, at which point she tells him about
her rules for life; these rules would inspire a similar set of Gibbs'
own that he now teaches to his subordinate agents at NCIS.
Gibbs with his wife Shannon and daughter Kelly
Shannon, along with their eight-year-old daughter Kelly, was murdered by a Mexican drug dealer named Pedro Hernandez on the last official day of Operation Desert Storm
(February 28, 1991, although the temporary internment markers seen in
Gibbs' flashbacks during "Hiatus", as well as the dates of death in the
NCIS files on their murder, place their deaths on the nonexistent
February 29, 1991[7]);
Gibbs had been an active member of the Marine Corps at the time and was
still overseas when they were killed. In "Hiatus (Part II)" Jenny tells
Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard—who
apparently never knew—that Shannon had witnessed a murder of a Marine
at Camp Pendleton. She identified the murderer as Mexican-born drug
dealer Pedro Hernandez. Hernandez apparently killed the NIS agent
driving their minivan in a sniper attack. The subsequent crash took
their lives. In the episode when Jenny tells Ducky that attempts to
extradite Hernandez had failed and that the case remained open, Ducky
responds that the case is closed. He correctly guesses that Gibbs would
have later killed Hernandez for revenge.[8] According to the pilot episodes of NCIS: Los Angeles, Gibbs was suspected and, in fact, investigated in connection with Hernandez' murder, but the agent leading the investigation, Lara Macy (Louise Lombard),
decided not to prosecute despite sufficient evidence, as she considered
the killing justified. (She herself would later be murdered on the
orders of Col. Merton Bell (Robert Patrick).) Even pathologist Ducky and Director Shepard, who had known Gibbs for
many years longer than the rest of his team, had not known about Shannon
until they discovered the file about her murder during Gibbs' coma in
"Hiatus". One of his ex-wives, Diane Sterling (Melinda McGraw), later married FBI Senior Special Agent Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano).
As she did with Gibbs, Diane drained Fornell's bank account upon
leaving him. Fornell and Diane have a daughter, Emily, effectively
forcing him to continue to interact with his ex-wife. Fornell often
laments this fact, with Gibbs stating that he had warned Fornell of
Diane's nature. In a discussion with Diane in the season 9 episode "Devil's
Triangle", Gibbs tells Diane that he liked her - he always liked her,
and still likes her. (Diane tells him that their marriage fell apart
because she was in love with him, but she couldn't compete with
Shannon.) Gibbs' wife Stephanie Flynn (Kathleen York)[9] lived with him during his service in Moscow, Russia
for about a year. Each wife was a redhead like Shannon. Ducky claims in
the episode "Mind Games" that Gibbs' wife found it impossible to stay
in their marriage when Gibbs was originally hunting serial killer Kyle
Boone, but which wife he was referring to was never specified. According
to Gibbs, she was the one who left him. In the first season, Gibbs tells a suspect that he once caught his
wife in bed with another man after he returned home from a "three month
float in the Med", after which he divorced her.[citation needed] Gibbs also had a past romantic relationship with the (now deceased)
director of NCIS, Jenny Shepard who was also a redhead. In the first,
second, and once during the third season, he was seen in the company of a
mysterious (and never-identified) redheaded woman.[10] In season four, he has a steady, serious relationship with Army CID
agent Lt. Col. Hollis Mann, but their relationship is revealed to be
over at the beginning of season five, when Shepard reads a brief
announcement in a military newsletter that Mann is retiring to Hawaii. After Shannon's and Kelly's death and before he married his second
wife, Gibbs is suggested to have had an affair with a woman named Rose
in Colombia.
He was on a drug interdiction mission as a Marine Scout Sniper, and was
wounded during the mission. In the episode in which this is revealed,
Rose's son is introduced as a person of interest in a case after Gibbs'
Marine service number was found written in blood at a crime scene. Gibbs
was suspected (by his team) of being the boy's father; but Gibbs later
reveals to Rose's son that she was already pregnant with him when he
came to their village, but leaves out that the drug lord Gibbs was sent
to assassinate was, in fact, the boy's father. In Season 7, Gibbs meets lawyer Margaret Allison Hart (Rena Sofer),
who was sent by an old enemy (Col. Merton Bell) whom Gibbs had locked
up in a Mexican prison. Though Gibbs and Hart oppose each other over
many cases, they are also attracted to one another. In the end, when it
turned out that Bell was responsible for the death of Lara Macy
in connection with the long-ago murder of Pedro Hernandez, Hart turned
her back on him, showing that she cared more for Gibbs than for her
boss. She later prevented the report incriminating Gibbs for Hernandez's
murder from reaching Mexico and gave it to him. In the episode "Borderland", an unknown conspirator manipulates
events so that Abby ends up investigating the murder as a cold case and
finds irrefutable proof that Gibbs is responsible. Despite this, she is
conflicted on whether to drop the case or pursue it. Lara Macy was found
dead in the episode "Patriot Down". It was later revealed that these
events were manipulated by Hernandez's now-grown children: Paloma
Reynosa, the head of the Reynosa drug cartel, and Alejandro Rivera, a
high-ranking official of the Mexican Justice Department. In the episode
"Spider and the Fly", Gibbs manipulates Alejandro into killing Paloma,
and Alejandro is subsequently arrested. Shortly thereafter, Director
Vance files Abby's report deep in the NCIS evidence room.
NCIS team and coworkers
Gibbs has a very close relationship with Abby Sciuto and Ducky
Mallard. He has known Ducky longer than any of the other main
characters, often calling him by the nickname "Duck". He is protective
of and comfortable around Abby, often massaging her shoulders, and
kissing her cheek when she does especially good work. He usually looks
the other way in her style of dress and her quirks, because he knows
that she does her job very well. He also brings her her favorite
caffeine beverage, called Caf-Pow. On several occasions, Abby has been
described as "the favorite". Likewise, Abby is, along with Ducky, one of
the few team members not afraid of Gibbs. In "Safe Harbor" Gibbs calls Ziva his "kid" when she asks if he is
lonely and he responds, "Never alone when you have kids," kissing her
forehead and adding, "Good night, kid." It is implied that he may see
the rest of the team in a similar light. In her second episode, Ziva saved Gibbs' life by shooting her
murderous half-brother Ari, earning Gibbs' trust. Ziva has seen Gibbs as
a surrogate father figure since around the middle of season 3, and in
the episode "Reunion", she called him "the closest thing she has to a
father". In the season three finale, she was the only one who was able
to get him to remember after he suffered amnesia from an explosion by
reminding him of Ari's death. He remembered that Ziva saved his life and
that she had killed her brother to do it while Ziva broke down and
cried into his arms. They share a number of traits: they both rarely
show emotion, have a deep sense of loyalty towards their country, speak
multiple languages, have served in the military at some point, and are
extremely skilled at what they do. Tony has a great deal of respect for Gibbs, and Gibbs has the
tendency to smack Tony on the back of the head whenever he says or does
something inappropriate. However, Tony has said that he regards the
"headslaps" as a "sign of affection". Tony is Gibbs' senior field agent,
and he became the team leader during Gibbs' brief retirement between
seasons 3 and 4. Gibbs is very protective of his team, often becoming aggressive
towards anyone who threatens or harms them. For example, he angrily
confronted the SecNav on several occasions, in season 8 when Ziva was
kidnapped by a serial killer, threatening consequences if she was hurt,
and in season 9 to take action against a rogue agent who had attempted
to kill DiNozzo. In the season 7 premier he shot dead the terrorist who
had tortured Ziva, held the team hostage, and was believed to be
responsible for Ziva's (presumed) death.
Personality
Gibbs is a no-nonsense agent who 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, as well as making it easy for the audience to
understand. He also displays elements of sarcasm particularly in
relation to someone in his company stating something obvious. The
typical sarcastic answer "Ya think?" is his preferred retort. He
displays a degree of impatience toward high-tech hardware, as in the
Season 4 episode "Witch Hunt" when he stomps a Roomba
to pieces in order to prevent it from vacuuming up evidence at a crime
scene. Gibbs also does not tolerate being interrupted when interrogating
a suspect as McGee quickly learned first hand in Season 1 Episode 18,
"unSEALed". After McGee goes into the interrogation room to inform Gibbs
about a new lead in the case they were investigating, Gibbs follows him
out in the hallway and before McGee can tell him what he found out,
though he does not yell at McGee, Gibbs quietly but sternly warns him to
"Never...interrupt an interrogation, McGee. Never." When he thinks it absolutely necessary, he will turn over command of
the team to one of his agents, as seen in the Season 6 episode "Bounce".
Here, the murder of a Navy officer has apparent connections to an
embezzlement case handled by Tony DiNozzo
years earlier, so Gibbs trades places with him. Gibbs' laconic
explanation: "Your case, your lead." The two resume their normal roles
by the end of the episode. On rare occasions, if the usual judicial
process is incapable of bringing a suspect to justice, he will turn a
blind eye and allow "street justice" to run its course. One example
occurs in the Season 3 episode "Iced", when a street gang member
suspected of killing three of his subordinates must be released for lack
of evidence. Gibbs drops him off on a street corner where he runs into
several angry gang members, who have learned of the circumstances
through a visit to the NCIS morgue; the team later sees a TV news report
that the suspect has been shot dead, but Gibbs suggests that they stop
watching and get back to work. He is a dedicated coffee drinker,[11]
a fact played out with his team setting up someone to innocently drink
or spill his coffee, incurring Gibbs' ire. In the episode "Forced
Entry", when McGee unknowingly drinks Gibbs' coffee, an on-base security
officer explains that rule #23 is "Never mess with a Marine's coffee if
you want to live." At episode's end, Gibbs endows McGee with a cup of
coffee as a thank-you. In the episode "Hiatus (Part I)", Ziva claims
that if Gibbs had been killed in the explosion on the ship, the color of
his guts would "be more coffee brown than red". Gibbs has dropped or
voluntarily given up his coffee, of his own volition, three times; all
three incidents have involved forensic scientist Abby Sciuto. His hobby is woodworking.
Gibbs is shown to almost always have a wooden-hulled sailboat under
construction in his basement, which he builds entirely by hand using no
power tools. In the episode "Tribes", he tells FBI Agent Langer:
"Finished it twice. This is number three." He later tells NCIS Director
Jenny Shepard that he is working on his fourth boat, and that he named
one of the previous boats after his (then current) wife when he finished
it, then burned it after their divorce. When asked why he did not
simply sell it, Gibbs replies that he "couldn't stand to see someone
else sailing Diane." Dr. Mallard tells Colonel Mann that another of
Gibbs' boats was named after his daughter, Kelly. It is not revealed
what Gibbs did with the other completed boats, nor how he could remove
their twenty-five-foot hulls intact from his basement. When asked by
McGee, Gibbs cryptically replied, "Just break the bottle." In the episode "Honor Code",
when Gibbs is talking with a lieutenant commander's son, he does
mention a possible method which would involve taking down part of his
wall and hauling it out through the now wide enough space, thus breaking
the bottle. Gibbs has also been shown making wooden toys around
Christmas time, fixing the roof on Mike Franks' beach house, and
offering to build Franks a teak hot tub. In "Pyramid", it is revealed
that Gibbs built Mike Franks' coffin. 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
or, if they get sidetracked on another topic, to get them focused back
on the case. He does this more frequently to DiNozzo than the other
members. In the episode "SWAK",
when a pneumonic plague-infected DiNozzo seemed to be unresponsive,
Gibbs slapped him on the forehead. When Gibbs "retired", and Tony gained
his position as leader for a short while, Tony often slapped the team
members in a similar fashion; in the episode "Hiatus (Part II)",
Mike Franks is shown slapping Gibbs in the same manner in a flashback.
As revealed by Ducky in the episode "Mind Games", about ten years
earlier he was just like Tony. When asked why he slaps his team only on
the back of the head Gibbs responded, "A slap to the face would be
humiliating. Back of the head is a wake-up call."[12] At one point he also threatens to slap Abby, though not on the head.[13]
In the episode "Family Secret", Gibbs even slaps his own head for
breaking chain-of-evidence rules. In "Driven", the team, including
Gibbs, attends a sexual harassment seminar where they are told that the
head slaps must stop or else they would face charges, but no charges or
other consequences have come forth. Another of Gibbs' quirks is his tendency to stop the building's
elevator between floors if he needs to have a short, urgent, private
conversation with someone. He does this most often with his agents, and
occasionally with his superiors or other law enforcement personnel. When somebody mentions the loss of children and wives, Gibbs rarely comments although he may react slightly. When Caitlin Todd
was killed, Ducky, who at that point did not know of Shannon and
Kelly's story, mentioned that Ari was targeting women and neither of
them (Ducky or Gibbs) has ever lost a loved one, Gibbs paused and did
not say anything. Gibbs still cared for Jenny at the time of her death and he was unable to open her body bag and look at her corpse. In the episode "Faking It", it is revealed that Gibbs speaks fluent Russian, and he at least speaks a little Japanese and Chinese ("Call of Silence" and "My Other Left Foot", respectively). He also signs American Sign Language, which appears in many episodes in conversations with forensic scientist Abby Sciuto.[14] In the episode "Heartland" it is revealed that he had bought a 1971 Dodge Challenger
R/T which he planned to restore, but never did. Later in the same
episode it turns out that his father had restored the car the way Gibbs
wanted it. The car was yellow with a black hood stripe and was stated to
have the 426 HEMI
and R/T suspension package. He drove the car with a smile on his face
the first time out. Apart from the Dodge Challenger, Gibbs drives a Ford F-250 as shown in "Shalom" and in "Life Before His Eyes".
