I really like how Portsman's self-obsession comes through in so many different things. He seems so much more focused on sports and training than his actual job (probably because he seems very good at it). He treats his partner as an accessory who's mostly there to prop him up (giving the same nickname to all his partners as if they were pets because it "sounds better" with his own name!). He fills his entire office with his trophies and awards. (Which I also expect Sebastian (Eustace) to do until a certain incident in I2 btw.) He comes across as really friendly and chummy at first but that's only surface-level. Even with the way he "mourns" his partner: He instructs one of the forensic officers to take pictures of him saying goodbye to "Jim". He's entirely focused on looking good and looking like he cares but has zero honest interest in anyone beyond himself. In that way I also read Portsman's complimenting of Miles upon their initial meeting as his attempt of buttering him up (with the underlying thought being that Portsman himself would love to hear something similar if he were in that position) to "make friends" but with no honest intention behind it.

We don't know much about Faith and his relationship with Portsman from his perspective but the way he was killed suggests that he wouldn't expect his own partner to be corrupt or to shoot him dead should he discover it. I wonder what Faith was like and what he thought of Portsman's shadier actions (like refusing to prosecute certain cases or some evidence suddenly being missing). Their conversation in the case intro mirrors some of Miles' previous beliefs (Portsman states that he needs to get defendants declared guilty) and Faith questions how far Portsman's willing to go for that. That would imply that he has some idea about Portsman's actions not all being above board but that he's accepted what he's seen so far because he saw them as necessary or justifiable in pursuit of a "noble" goal (and not the result of corruptness that they actually were). There's also no implication (though that could be because of circumstances) that Faith really minded the way Portsman treated him. Their relationship could be read as a distorted version of Miles' & Gumshoe's own, a well-meaning and trusting detective puts his faith (ha!) in an arrogant prosecutor surrounded by rumours of forged evidence and shady dealings who doesn't treat his partner as well as he should - with Gumshoe's faith being justified because Miles is a good person at heart who corrected his wrong course while Faith's was not and ended with him being killed because Portsman is fundamentally selfish and egotistical.

Dear Jacques Portsman,

... Aren't you supposed to be imprisoned?

Regardless, I have too much to attend to in Khura'in for such things.

A mind like mine gets tangled up in calculations, and gets lost ten times in an hour when it tries to read a map. I could take only one method, and I took it: sincerity. Tell all, spread all out, live naked.
