Calvin Colby

Calvin Colby, a character from the Laws of Attraction series, is a politician and a mayoral frontrunner. He makes his first appearance in Book 2, Chapter 4, although he is mentioned for the first time in Chapter 3.

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
According to Gabe, Calvin is pleasant and slick. He is also charming and very ambitious, without seeming ruthless. 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.

Background
Before becoming a politician and a candidate for mayor, Calvin used to be an ADA. Currently, he is in the lead and he's very popular.

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.

In Chapters 15 and 16, you are acting as one of the prosecutors in his RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) trial. Depending on your choices throughout the book, all of his co-conspirators in the conservatorship scheme are arrested as well.

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 have broken client-attorney confidentiality and reported Calvin to the authorities, he chose not to.
