into a working-class Irish-Catholic family and spent 10 years attending Our Lady of Mercy. He is originally portrayed as a cocky chauvinist with a short temper. Later episodes, however, reveal a darker, more complex side to the character; it is gradually revealed that he had been abused
as a child, both physically (by his unstable, alcoholic mother) and sexually (by his parish priest, whom he later confronts and brings to justice). These early traumas lead to his rather cynical view of the church; he quips in one episode that "My mother beat me with one hand while she held a Rosary
with the other. The next time I enter a church, it'll be in a pine box carried by six of my friends." When he was a young man, his pregnant girlfriend had an abortion
against his wishes. As these trauma
s are revealed, his "short fuse" evolves into a deep-seated pathological anger.
In several episodes, his anger explodes; when his first partner, Max Greevey, is murder
ed by a suspect, Logan comes close to killing the perpetrator, relenting only at the last minute. The incident nearly costs Logan his job.
Logan's second partner, Phil Cerreta, is also shot in the line of duty, but he survives and takes on a desk job. In the following episodes, his partner is Lennie Briscoe

case). He is replaced by Det. Rey Curtis
.
The Logan character was revived in 1998 and given his own TV movie, Exiled: A Law & Order Movie
. In the movie, Logan tries to get his old job back by solving the murder of a prostitute, in the process discovering that his old friend, Detective Tony Profaci, is involved in the crime. During the course of the film, he becomes a homicide detective again, but is kept on Staten Island, where he has little opportunity to pursue significant cases.

question Logan's girlfriend, prison nurse Gina Lowe, about prison drug testing and her interactions with a murdered corrections officer. Later, the detectives deduce that Unit Counselor Kurt Plumm is planning to have Lowe killed; Goren and Logan attempt to escort her to safety but the prison goes into lockdown, trapping all three inside. Plumm and his partners corner Logan, Goren, and Lowe in a corridor, and Plumm implies that they intend to kill them. Goren convinces the other guards to defy Plumm, however, and one of the officers opens the gates to free the detectives and Lowe. Logan picks up one of the guards' discarded billy club and approaches Plumm menacingly, but he resists the urge to assault
the man. "That guy," Logan later says to Goren, "he would have been worth another 10 years in Staten Island." Also in the episode, Captain James Deakins
reveals that Logan's former superior officer, Lieutenant Anita Van Buren
, had tried three times to get him transferred back to her command after his reassignment, all to no avail.
Deakins returns Logan to Manhattan as a detective under his command in the fifth season, when he is partnered with Det. Carolyn Barek
. In a 2006 episode, he accidentally shoots an undercover police officer while investigating a homicide instigated by the officer's foster mother. He is cleared of official misconduct, but is troubled by having killed someone; he reaches out to police psychiatrist Elizabeth Olivet
, who had helped him come to terms with Greevey's death, for counseling.
In the fifth-season episode "The Healer
," it is revealed that Logan has a severe allergy to poison ivy
, which manifests itself as a rash, fever, and stomach pains.
In the sixth season, the Major Case Squad is handed over to a new captain, Danny Ross, and Logan is assigned a new partner, Det. Megan Wheeler
. In the seventh season, he works with Det. Nola Falacci
, a temporary partner assigned to him while Wheeler is teaching American police procedures to officers in Europe
.
In the episode "Last Rites
", Logan goes head to head with Terri Driver, a corrupt ADA who had enhanced her own reputation by railroading defendants she had cause to believe were innocent. Driver, who is running for attorney general
, threatens to go after Logan's job and builds a case against Wheeler's fiancé, who is arrested by the FBI
for fraud
and racketeering
. Logan solves a 16-year-old homicide that Driver has been trying to bury, but the inflexibility and corruption of the justice system he sees in this case leaves him angry and disenchanted. A priest who first put Logan on the case advises him that, after over 25 years as a cop, it is time to do other things with his life. Logan nods his head and walks out of the room, but his decision is not revealed until the following season, when Ross mentions to Wheeler that her partner quit (retired) on her, referring to Logan. He is replaced by Zack Nichols. Ironically, Logan said to a fellow officer in one earlier Law & Order
episode Confession
that, "The next time I set foot in one of these places I will be being carried by six of my closest buddies." And in the L&O episode Bad Faith
