bullet::::- paul millander (portrayed by matt o'toole): a serial killer who posed as a judge, and serves as gil grissom's nemesis. millander is one of only ten murderers to be featured in multiple episodes, the other nine being tammy felton, "the blue paint killer", "the miniature killer", "the west siblings", "", "the dick and jane killer", jared briscoe and paul winthrop. in the pilot episode, millander's fingerprints turn up on the tape-recorder used for the suicide note of royce harmon, the first victim. gil grissom meets and questions him, and learns that millander has a company that makes halloween costumes called halloweird. he made a mold of his own hand for a particular costume that comes with a bloody arm, and grissom concludes that may be how millander's prints got into the crime scene. someone may have bought the hand and used it as a red herring. in the episode "anonymous", another suicide is staged and again millander's prints show up. grissom still thinks that it is a red herring but toward the end of the episode a homeless man who is used by the killer to deliver a cryptic message to the csi team describes millander as the man who approached him. grissom then realizes that he has been tricked, and that it was millander all along. grissom travels to millander's workplace and finds it empty apart from a stool and an envelope addressed to grissom. there is nothing written inside the envelope, telling grissom that he has nothing. the episode ends with paul millander going into the csi headquarters and asking for grissom. millander is told that grissom is not there and as he turns to leave he looks at the surveillance camera and waves. millander is not seen again until season two, where yet another suicide is staged in exactly the same way as the previous two. the team realizes that millander targets middle-aged father figures who share a birthday with the anniversary of his father's death. his father was murdered in a staged suicide when he was a child but the authorities ruled it as a suicide because he was unable to give evidence effectively in court, even though he had witnessed the murder. moreover, the csi team finds out that millander was born female—named pauline millander—which added to his ineffectiveness as a witness of his father's murder. he underwent sexual reassignment in his youth and as a result his relationship with his mother was a complicated one. the csi team also finds out that he was leading a double life, one as paul millander and the other as the honorable judge douglas mason. as douglas mason, he has a respectable job, a wife, and an adopted son. when grissom goes to visit him, he claims to not know any paul millander and suggests the doppelgänger theory as an explanation as to why they look exactly the same. grissom takes a sample of mason's fingerprints after he touches the bars in the prison but later discovers that they are the fingerprints on file for judge douglas mason. it is later discovered that the fingerprints belonged to paul's father. by the end of "identity crisis", grissom finally has enough evidence to arrest judge mason/paul millander but millander escapes custody yet again and returns to his home where his mother lives. he kills her and finally ends his own life in the same way he staged the other suicides and in the way his father's suicide was staged, leaving behind a tape with a suicide message on it. grissom finds him dead in his bathtub during the very last scene of this episode. it is then found that millander and grissom share the same birthday. in the tenth season, his adopted son, craig mason, was suspected of being a killer, but was ultimately cleared.
