Gabi Mosely[]
Dhan is deeply loyal to Gabi and sees her as both a leader and a close friend. He respects her determination and empathizes with her mission, feeling a personal responsibility to support and protect her as she works to help those who are forgotten. Dhan’s willingness to get his hands dirty complements Gabi’s more diplomatic approach, making them a balanced pair in the field.

Dhan’s unwavering commitment to Gabi speaks to his dedication and loyalty, underscoring his role as the protective force within the team.
Lacey Quinn[]
Dhan shares a compassionate and protective relationship with Lacey. Aware of the trauma she has endured, he often takes extra care to ensure her comfort and safety, treating her like a younger sister. Dhan admires her resilience and quietly supports her as she works through her own healing process. Though he is often stoic, Dhan is known to let his guard down around Lacey, providing moments of warmth and encouragement. Lacey trusts Dhan implicitly, relying on his strength and stability in moments of vulnerability.
Margaret Reed[]
While Dhan and Margaret may not share as much screen time together, they have a mutual respect for each other’s skills. Dhan sees Margaret’s “Margaret Vision” as a valuable asset, and he often relies on her insights to strategize their approach in the field. Though their personalities and methods differ—Margaret being analytical and Dhan being action-oriented—they find common ground in their shared dedication to the team’s mission. Dhan respects Margaret’s intellect, and their dynamic reflects a quiet, professional camaraderie.
Mark Trent[]
Dhan and Trent have a somewhat tense but respectful relationship, largely due to their differing approaches to cases. While Trent relies on procedure, Dhan is willing to bend rules when necessary, creating occasional friction between them. Despite these differences, they share a mutual respect, especially as Trent becomes more integrated into the team’s mission. Dhan values Trent’s skills, but he isn’t afraid to challenge him when he feels Trent’s adherence to protocol might endanger the team. Over time, they learn to work together more effectively, recognizing each other’s strengths.
Hugh "Sir" Evans[]
Dhan’s attitude toward Sir is one of intense disdain. As the person who caused so much harm to Gabi and Lacey, Sir represents everything Dhan is willing to fight against. Dhan’s protective nature makes him especially sensitive to Sir’s taunts and manipulations, and he is often the first to step in when Sir attempts to get under the skin of his team members. Dhan’s interactions with Sir reveal a fiercer, more vengeful side of him, as he will stop at nothing to protect his friends from Sir’s influence.
Ethan[]
Dhan's relationship with his husband, Ethan, provides a softer, more personal side to his character that contrasts with his tough, protective role within the team. Ethan is a source of comfort and grounding for Dhan, offering him a safe space away from the intensity of his work. Their relationship is built on deep mutual respect, love, and understanding, with Ethan often acting as Dhan’s emotional anchor. Despite the challenges that Dhan’s work brings, Ethan is supportive of his commitment to Mosely & Associates, and his presence reminds Dhan of the importance of balance between his personal and professional life. This dynamic highlights Dhan’s capacity for love and vulnerability, showing a more intimate side of his personality that he rarely shares with others.
