Character Bio from the Official Graceland Site (2017).

Customs agent Dale Jakes (Brandon Jay McLaren) is the lone wolf of Graceland. Quick-tempered and territorial, Jakes won’t hesitate to let someone know when they’re getting on h is nerves (and that someone is usually Johnny). But though Jakes can snap sometimes, underneath his rough exterior is a truly dedicated agent with a lot of hard-earned wisdom who is always there to help the team when they’re in need.

Beneath Jakes’s rough exterior lies the pain of real regret: a young son he left behind for fear that the darkness he saw every day on the job would ruin the boy’s life. Now, Jakes is making the choice to step back from the field and make a go of reconnecting with the family he let slip away before it’s too late. But while Jakes’s intentions are good, redemption is not any easy thing to come by in the world of Graceland.
