Born April 4, 1983 Van Pelt is from a small farming town in Iowa. He tends to be overly sensitive at times, but he is very intelligent. Van Pelt works with Rigsby and Cho most of the time, but occasionally works with Jane or Lisbon. She is "the rookie" of the team, having started her work in the pilot episode. Grace has a cousin who is supposedly psychic, which sometimes causes arguments with Jane about matters of faith. In the Bloodshot episode, Jane makes an observation about the character of Van Pelt, saying, "... you are deeply repressed and emotionally turned off ... because of a trauma in the past that you have never told anyone ... ever .. even to yourself ... "by Van Pelt's facial expression seems to be confirmed.

In Season 2 in the episode Casting Fire, Van Pelt talks to a woman about to commit suicide for the loss of her son, describing the impact of her sister's suicide on her. Later, when Rigsby asks him, Van Pelt quickly states that "I've just walked out. I do not have a sister" abruptly looking away and changing the subject - leading the public to believe that I actually had a sister and just did not want to discuss the subject -.
