Biography[]

He debuts in "Don't Read the News", where he is introduced as Ruzek's replacement and Voight reveals he used to work with Kenny at Gangs unit. He is partnered with Kevin Atwater and has a rough start with his new colleagues because he didn't seem like a team player into an investigation of a murdered girl by the hands of a resurfaced serial killer. However, he earns respect when he was able to deduce the killer's movements and finds incriminating evidence that helps Intelligence bust the perp.

During "Sanctuary", Kenny is upset by two boys suspected of rape and murder claiming sanctuary in a church. Kenny begs the Father of the church not to aid them but complied with the orders of Voight. Much later, he joins the team in getting the boys to safety after the building is set aflame. However, the boys were cleared of murder after a new suspect emerged and he joined in the pursuit.

In "Favor, Affection, Malice or Ill-Will", Kenny bumps into Ruzek when he returns before he could talk Adam walks off. While Adam is cleaning his locker, Rixton tells him that he was good friends with his father. He also reveals he has accepted a job offer to be the second hand of a narcotics team, to which Ruzek then returns to Intelligence.
