Rodrick "Torque" Redford is considered as the greatest American spy in the world. Born in 1966, he was recruited from the police force by the CIA at 25 years old after the Cold War ended in 1991 for both his brains and his brawn. He is a tough-as-nails cop turned secret agent from Detroit, Michigan with a mastery of disguises and a knack for getting into trouble. His nicknames are "Rod" and "Torque", with "Rod" being a shorter version of his first name and "Torque" being inspired by his car.
