Sometimes, Angel offered his personal views on the murders, while Dexter admired the creativity of the killers. At times, Angel butted heads with Vince Masuka over his inappropriate behavior around women. On one occasion, Angel expressed his concern over whether or not Masuka could keep his hands off the lab intern, Ryan Chambers.

One of these involved superior Maria LaGuerta , with whom he formed a romantic relationship in Season Four. It soon ended for political gain on her part.

Angel is a man that loves button-up and colorful shirts. He is often seen wearing various Cuban inspired short-sleeved shirts at work, usually with a pair of khaki pants and dress shoes.
When he's first introduced, however, he's shown in a detective's suit, with dark blue pants and a light blue shirt with a tie, no fedora included. His subsequent appearances almost always have him in something Cuban. When he does wear something more formal, he usually has a suit jacket to add to the flair.
