You have any idea how embarrassing it is for me to keep arresting my own brother over and over and over again?
― Reggie scolding his brother while dragging him away from the Longhouse.
Reggie Rowe was Delsin's older brother and Sheriff of Salmon Bay, where the Akomish tribe lives. He acted as a moral compass for Delsin, and frequently arrested and presumably bailed him for misdemeanor vandalism with his artwork. He has shown some distaste for his brother's newfound abilities, but still acknowledges his brother as a human being. Nevertheless, he does not show this consideration to other Conduits, namely Abigail Walker, and continues to see them as "bioterrorists".
Biography
Come on, I know you're in there, so just come on out. Or I'll call Betty and she'll be here in five minutes with the keys.
― Reggie's first line.
After the death of their parents, Reggie tries to keep Delsin from causing trouble and going astray, and acts as surrogate father to his brother. One day while on patrol, (presumably) recently promoted Reggie arrives in his truck after Delsin tagged his Congratulations to Sheriff billboard and jumped down into Betty's warehouse, where she lets Delsin leave, so he can try to get to the Longhouse, but Reggie beats him and once again scolds Delsin for embarrassingly making him have to arrest him again as a D.U.P truck crashes in the Akomish village as two Conduits (Abigail Walker and Eugene Sims) start to make their escape, causing Reggie to go after them after telling Delsin to stay where he is, but Delsin disobeys however and goes too and helps a bioterrorist known as Hank to his feet. When Reggie returns Hank grabs Delsin and holds him hostage. Reggie threatens to shoot him if he does not let him go only for Hank to use his power to manipulate smoke against him Delsin grabs Hank in an attempt to free himself, only to unknowingly absorb his powers, causing an explosion. Reggie proceeds to follow him only for Hank to subdue him by throwing a car on top of him. Delsin arrives and using his new abilities frantically throws the car off of him. Delsin immediately begins to panic put Reggie calms him down and tells him they will find a cure for him. Upon hearing sounds of an explosion, Reggie asks Delsin to come with him, but not to use his newly absorbed powers. When they come up to Betty's warehouse, the gate is locked, leaving Delsin no choice but to go through with his smoke powers and scaring other tribe members. Reggie soon leaves to try and convince them that Delsin is merely just having smoke come out of his fingers.
Seattle
After Delsin wakes up and they start to head for Seattle, Reggie hears a bus load of people asking for help. After Delsin clears the road of the concrete, Reggie calls him and says he can't let him on the bus because the passengers saw him and are afraid. After dropping off the passengers, Reggie tries to go back for Delsin, but the bridge he drove on was set to be decommissioned, causing Reggie to hold onto a part of the bridge until Delsin arrives and helps him up.
Hank's Betrayal and Death
Reggie, knowing Hank was not to be trusted, goes with Delsin to Concrete Island to help fight Augustine. As soon as he gets the concrete cuffs off his brother, he assists Delsin in freeing Fetch and Eugene from a concrete cage. Augustine incased Reggie's legs in concrete and proceeded to drop the concrete cage near Delsin and his brother.
As Reggie holds onto Delsin, who is keeping the both of them from falling into the icy water, he realizes that the concrete is expanding across his body. He tells his brother to let him go, as the concrete would reach him too. Accepting his inevitable fate, he tells Delsin, "Dammit, I'm so proud of you... always have been, I love you bro". He then lets go of Delsin who screams as he watched his brother fall to his death.
Good Ending
After healing the wounded Akomish tribe members from Augustine's concrete power, Delsin tags a memorial billboard in memory of Reggie.
Evil Ending
When Delsin returns to the tribe to heal them, Betty states that Delsin is no longer Akomish and has disgraced his ancestors and the memory of Reggie.

Trivia
- Reggie's possible root name, "Reginald", means "wise counselor/ruler" in German. It can also translate into "advice", "strong judgment" and "decision". This suits his personality exactly, as he's a law enforcement officer and often acts as Delsin's moral compass.
- Like Lucy Kuo with Cole MacGrath in inFAMOUS 2, he influences most of Delsin's Good Karma actions and decisions.
- Reggie is voiced by Travis Willingham, who also provides the motion capture for the character. Ironically, Reggie loathes Abigail Walker, but Travis is actually married to her voice actor, Laura Bailey.
- It appears that Reggie seems to hold a certain degree of contempt for Conduits in general, as shown when he harshly labels Abigail Walker as a "Bioterrorist". However, given his distaste for her vigilantism, he may have simply chosen to insult her by using that term.
- His distaste for Conduits , or Bio-terrorists as he prefers to call them, may have had something to do with the death of his and Delsin's parents. In a gameplay video showcasing karmic alignments, in an Evil Path when Delsin physically stops Reggie from arresting Fetch, he coldly states that Delsin will be held responsible if she kills someone else's mother or father. Though this hasn't confirmed, it is a possibility that their parents were killed by Conduits.
- In the Good Karma Ending, Delsin says the exact same thing to his deceased brother that Zeke says to Cole during the Infamous 2 Good Karma Ending: "I love you, brother, and I'm sure gonna miss you." He also tags the exact same billboard at the start of the game, but done so it acts as a memorial for his brother, with the words 'In loving memory of Reggie Rowe' painted in the center.
