The team of Chicago P.D. Season 13 first learns about Raymond Bell while looking into a series of crimes committed by his son, Gary Bell. Just to add, Gary, at first, seemed like a normal guy, but soon the team learns he's behind a series of violent crimes, which also included robbery and murder. When the team questioned Raymond, he didn't provide much help.

It was also revealed that Gary suffered abuse and violence while growing up, reflecting the actions he committed in the present and later suicide, leaving a note that read:

"He made me like this."

Another suspicion about Raymond Bell came soon after, when his silent reaction to his son's death was revealed when he was told he had committed suicide. Additionally, he refused to claim Gary's body and didn't react a great deal when told about the suicide note Gary left. Later on in the investigation, it was revealed that Gary was technically following his father's habits and abusive behavior.

The name Raymond Bell was first mentioned in Episode 4. While Raymond came across as a normal man, Voight had a gut feeling that there was more to him.

From what we've seen so far, Raymond Bell appears to be a normal father and businessman, but soon, in the episodes, we see that there's something that feels different about him.

#ChicagoPD fall finale: Voight’s career is at risk, plus Imani goes rogue in tonight's episode.

The character of Raymond Bell in Chicago P.D. Season 13 has left fans of the show both curious and excited. TV writer Gwen Sigan, talking about the character of Raymond, told soaps.com:

"It’s been really fun to write. It’s dark, it’s weird. It’s been a really different kind of storyline for us. It’s a little more psychological."

Talking about the relationship between Voight and Bell, she added:

"It’s a little more Voight versus this guy, a little cat and mouse. It’s got a really great vibe to it and some really interesting themes to explore."

Sigan explained the idea behind the storyline, saying:

"It is very thematic, especially for Voight and Imani, and it has this nice feeling of sort of diving into roots, diving into sort of generational violence and generational harm"
