Appearance
Calvin has short slicked brown hair, gray eyes, light skin, and a small stubble. He wears a blue stripped suit, with a white shirt and a purple patterned tie.

Personality

It's also hard to distinguish sometimes whether he is being genuine or passive-aggressive. Underneath his pleasant facade, he is greedy, selfish, and isn't above murder to get his way.

Your Character
You meet Calvin for the first time when Martin introduces you to him in Chapter 4. When you learn that Karl Goodall and Erica Carpenter work for him and you suspect him of being involved with the conservatorship scheme, you decide to crash the party at his yacht to find evidence of his wrongdoings. During his speech, you can choose to heckle him covertly or cause a distraction so that he stops talking, but either way, Calvin turns that situation to his advantage.

Gabe Ricci
Gabe and Calvin know each other for a long time, ever since he's been an ADA. Gabe says that even then, you could tell that he had a future in politics. In Chapter 13, it is revealed that Gabe worked plenty of cases against Calvin and his office.

Martin Vanderweil
Martin - And by extension McGraw Byrne - is representing Calvin Colby. Calvin was originally brought to the firm by Joaquin after he was hired. In Chapter 14, Beau tells you that he overheard Martin and Calvin talking discreetly, with Martin suggesting Calvin to bribe Hank for his silence. However, Calvin told Martin that he would take care of him another way, possibly hinting about murder. While it is unclear if Martin understood what Calvin meant, Beau says that the one time Martin should had broken client-attorney confidentiality and report Calvin to the authorities, he chose not to.
