- Nigel is a medical examiner at the boston morgue. He's a little wierd, but I don't know if he's wierd because he works in a morgue or if he works in a morgue because he's wierd.
- He has an interest in the paranormal. Aliens, vampires, werewolves...they all fascinate him.
- He knows the most random and obscure facts about almost everything.
- He's british. He served in a war (I can't remember which one right now) before he came to the united states. His mom is dead and he hasn't talked to his father in years.
- Though he never comes out and says it, I'm 99% sure that he's bisexual. I don't think that he actually thinks of himself in terms of sexuality: if he is attracted to someone, then he is attracted to someone. In one episode, a male coworker thought Nigel was coming on to him and asked him if he was gay, to which Nigel replied that he "hadn't ever really thought about it." On the show, he was only shown having girlfriends, but many characters alluded to him having relationships with men, and he flirts constantly with men and women alike.
- He is extremely devoted to his relationships with his coworkers and friends. He will drop what he is doing and do whatever he can to help if someone he is close to is in trouble. We especially see this in the episodes where something bad happens to Bug.
- He comes up with wierd nicknames for people, and likes to address people as either "mate," or "love."
- He is a master hacker and can break into almost any computer if he needs to. He is also very good at tracking down people based on the wierdest and most random evidence, like the type of fabric they are wearing in a photograph or what year something was made in.
