Bad traits: Stubborn, suspicious, has all of the appearance of being at ease nearly anywhere, but he's never truly at ease anywhere.
Acknowledged: He doesn't necessarily see all of them as faults, but yeah.
OTHER STUFF:
Came to America for uni, mostly just because he wanted to see someplace other than Scotland, and stayed afterward. Tried his hand at a variety of jobs before he fell into police work and discovered that he has both the knack and the calling.
Been in Narcotics for four years, was previously a beat cop, an investigator in the computer crimes division (which he hated, and requested a transfer out of), and a homicide detective (was routinely transferred out after 2 years). He's been a cop for 10 years plus, and even with the recent change in his assignment, can't really imagine doing anything else.
Has been through the FBI academy at Quantico (interdepartmental courtesy), and probably would have gone into the FBI if it weren't for the bureaucratic crap involved with him not having been born a U.S. Citizen.
