"You're a rotten cop."
E. Duffy[1] or Ambrose Duffy[2] was an officer of the Detroit Police Department. He was one of the few officers who refused to participate in the police strike, giving him a superficial appearance of an officer who placed the law and devotion to duty over personal benefits. In actuality, Duffy was a corrupt man who was addicted to Nuke. His decision not to strike was likely that given the police force was stretched thin, he would be entrusted with more duties and likely more juicy intelligence to pass onto Cain.
Biography[]
Duffy was a corrupt, Nuke-addicted individual who supplied police information to the Nuke Cult so Cain could stay one step ahead of the law, and in return, Duffy was paid in money and Nuke.[3]
RoboCop and Anne Lewis got wind of this and tracked Duffy down, with RoboCop denouncing Duffy's corrupt behavior and demanding he reveal the location of Cain's hideout. Duffy first denied involvement but relented when RoboCop used physical force to intimidate Duffy, ironically by bashing his skull against the glass bezel of an arcade cabinet.[3]
Later on, Duffy was lured to a backstreet surgery where Cain had him eviscerated alive as punishment for double-crossing him. This was so brutal even Angie and Hob could not bear to witness it as the latter was forced by Cain to do so as an example.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
In the novelization, Duffy is given the first name Ambrose, but his file in RoboCop: Rogue City indicates that his first name starts with an E.
In the comics, he is thinner.
