The character was initially introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who tries to cover up a crime by his son Justin and uses all means necessary to do so, including threatening Fire Lieutenant Matthew Casey, one of the protagonists of Chicago Fire. Voight's circumstances were eventually clarified with the creation of the spin-off Chicago P.D. However, he has a well-documented feud with Casey—as a result of what happened between them—and his interactions with the firefighters of 51 are marked by tension and suspicion, despite the fact that he earns their grudging respect for his dedication in seeking justice for crime victims. Voight carries a SIG Sauer P229 as his sidearm.
