Elliot Stabler is a fictional character portrayed by Christopher Meloni and one of the lead characters on the NBC police procedural series ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'' during the first twelve seasons. As a result of Meloni's sudden departure from the cast at the end of the twelfth season, Stabler abruptly resigns from the police force off-screen during the thirteenth season premiere. ==Character overview== Stabler is an NYPD Detective 1st Grade with Manhattan's 16th Precinct, which investigates sex crimes. His partner during the first twelve years is Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay). Stabler is dedicated to his job, but often takes cases personally, thus, affecting his judgment. Nonetheless, Stabler has a 97-percent case-closure rate as of 2007. His badge number is 6313. Stabler is an Irish American Catholic〔 and lives in Glen Oaks, Queens with his wife Kathy and five children (Maureen, Kathleen Louise, Richard "Dickie", Elizabeth "Lizzie" and Elliot "Eli", Jr.). Stabler was born October 20, 1966. Stabler is devoted to his family and frequently mentions or thinks about them while working cases. He is a practicing Catholic whose faith sometimes complicates the cases on which he works. Stabler was born and raised in Bayside, Queens. His father, Joseph Stabler, was a policeman who lost his pension and eventually died of cancer. Stabler had a difficult relationship with his father, who was physically and emotionally abusive. His mother, Bernadette (née) McGinley, (Ellen Burstyn) suffers from bipolar disorder, and once nearly killed her son during a manic phase. As a result, Stabler has "erased his childhood", and maintains little contact with his mother. Stabler was a Marine and served in Operation Desert Storm. During his time in the military, he was a hand-to-hand combat specialist. He also has three tattoos, notably the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor tattoo on his forearm (the official emblem of the Marine Corps), and the crucifixion of Christ on his left bicep. One of his best friends died in the September 11 attacks.〔 He has a B.A. from Queens College.〔 Stabler harbors a great deal of anger that is sometimes fed by his job. When his wife Kathy leaves him in Season 6, Stabler's anger rises closer to the surface, and in a few episodes threatens to boil over. During an interrogation, serial killer Gordon Ricketts (Matthew Modine), whom Stabler had investigated 14 years earlier, tells him that they harbor the same kind of rage, and that if it weren't for his family and his job, Stabler would be just like him. When Benson and Stabler catch Ricketts about to kill a young girl, Stabler appears ready to kill him in cold blood; it is only Benson's intervention that prevents him from doing so. In Season 7, he is ordered to see a psychiatrist, Dr. Rebecca Hendrix (Mary Stuart Masterson), after using excessive force on an abusive parent. Stabler eventually opens up to Hendrix about his personal demons,〔 and they become close until Hendrix is transferred. By Season 8, he and Kathy reconcile, and Stabler learns to better deal with his problems. In the season 12 finale, Stabler is forced to shoot and kill a young woman who opens fire in the Special Victims squad room. Before dying in Stabler's arms, she had killed two suspects involved in the rape and murder of her mother and injured a third, as well as killing recurring character Sister Peg (Charlayne Woodard). After the shootout, Stabler is placed on administrative leave and abruptly resigns from the police force. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elliot Stabler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
