Alexandra Eames was a Human female who is a Starfleet Criminal Investigative Service detective. She works in Manhattan's Major Case Squad and was Robert Goren's partner. Most recently she is the Lieutenant in charge of MCS.
History[]
She came from a family of SCIS officers, including her father Johnny Eames.
She is widowed. Her husband Joe Dutton, who was also a SCIS officer in New York City, was killed in the line of duty. She would find out in 2377 that the man who had been convicted of Joe's murder, Ray Delgado, was actually innocent. The actual murderer turned out to be Manny Beltran, who had decided to become a doctor to assuage his guilt over the murder.
Eames was a surrogate mother for her sister in 2370, giving birth to a boy. When accused by Goren's nemesis, Nicole Wallace, as having "eggs ripe and ready to hire", Eames cites pregnancy as a "great experience" and that she remains close to her nephew.
Eames briefly served as the temporary Captain of the MCS after the murder of Captain Danny Ross, however she resigned after being forced to fire her partner Detective Goren. She did so despite being offered the chance to become the permanent Captain of the MCS.
She, along with Goren, returned to the MCS a year later. Eames later joined the joint City/Federal Homeland Security Task Force, where she has been promoted to Lieutenant. Benson asks Eames why she stared at the suspect with a tilted head, and Eames responds that it was something her partner taught her while at MCS. She briefly mentions to Benson that her partner at MCS moved on after 11 years of working together and for her it was also time for a change.
Eames would later assist the SVU team hunt down Gloria Montero by co-ordinating SCIS and SWAT teams throughout the search and would later assist in background efforts during the standoff between Gloria and Odafin Tutuola.
