After her partner, Dominic Vail was killed in the line of duty, Deeks became Kensi's new partner in September 2010 and over time, the two went from being rivals to good friends to the two having romantic feelings for each other that ultimately saw them begin a relationship and in March 2019, the two eventually got married.

Biography

Pre-Series

Born January 8, 1979 in Reseda, California, Deeks was the first and only child of Gordon John Brandel and Roberta Deeks.

Deeks's childhood was an unhappy one as his father was an alcoholic who regularly abused his wife and young son with Brandel getting so drunk one day that he started wielding a shotgun at Roberta and Deeks which in turn prompted Deeks who was eleven years old at the time to non-fatally shoot his father with Brandel presumably being treated for the injury and later imprisoned two weeks later.

Presumably after that, Roberta divorced Brandel and took young Deeks with her, the two no longer maintaining any contact with Brandel.

Some time in 1998, Brandel was released from prison but wound up dying in a car accident.

Deeks attended a high school and while there, started a rock band he named "Touching Wood" with Deeks himself as the lead singer and guitarist.

Upon graduating high school, Deeks attended college and soon created a punk band, "Contaminated Cherries" with the band only releasing one song titled "Apple of My Eyesore" which became their greatest hit and they even had an album.

While in college, Deeks spent time working as an exotic dancer, his stage name "Jack" based on Jack Dawson from the movie, "Titanic".

After graduating from college, Deeks became a lawyer and spent an unknown period of time working as a public defender before he quit and joined the Los Angeles Police Department instead, working up his way up through to the ranks to become a Detective although it's presumed that the rank was Police Detective I.

Prior to becoming a liaison between the LAPD and NCIS's OSP, he had a girlfriend named Sylvia Grey. Their breakup was messy, and he got a restraining order against her.

In November 2020, as a result of the Los Angeles Police Department going through a reform, Deeks's position as the LAPD liaison to NCIS, a role he had served for over a decade, was subsequently terminated and he was furloughed. Thanks to Henrietta Lange, he attended FLETC to become an official NCIS Special Agent and rejoin the team.

Deeks's new NCIS ID. From the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 12 episode, "A Fait Accompli".

In A Fait Accompli (episode), Deeks received his official badge from Hetty with his new credentials, showing he is now an NCIS Investigator which means that he presumably is an 1810 Investigator who performs investigative and or counterintelligence duties, making him the only member of the OSP team to hold this rank while his colleagues are all Special Agents.
