He is an ex-army buddy of Cooper Barrett from Hollingsbeck, Texas. Soon after Logan's arrival in Port Charles, he and Cooper became involved in a plan hatched by Maxie Jones to blackmail Scott Baldwin. The three had information that showed that Scott is the one who really killed Rick Webber almost five years ago and let ex-wife Laura Spencer take the fall for it. The three of them made it seem to Scott as though Laura's daughter, Lulu Spencer, was behind the scheme, although Logan's developing feelings for Lulu had him second-guessing the plan. Lulu discovered their racket when Scott confronted her.
Logan was shot in the leg during an ambush at The Cellar that targeted mobsters Jason Morgan and Sonny Corinthos. He was operated on at General Hospital and recovered. As a way to show his gratitude, Sonny paid Logan's hospital bills.
Logan has already gotten on Luke Spencer's bad side because of his interactions with Lulu. Luke accused Maxie in March 2007 of hiring "spuds like this [Logan] to harass my daughter." Lulu saved Logan from harm in a shootout with Alcazar's men. In turn, he has tried to protect her on multiple occasions, defending her against threatening characters like Scott Baldwin. As for Lulu, she has grudgingly revealed that she finds Logan at least "tolerable." Logan thinks that she's got feelings for him ... "she just doesn't know it yet." In early June, Logan forcefully kissed Lulu in Sonny's coffee shop; she did not reciprocate, and he was forced to apologize profusely for his actions. Since the kiss, the two of them have grown closer, in part because Logan has provided a friendly ear for Lulu's many problems and in part because of Logan's new arrangement with Maxie Jones.
Recently, Logan has begun a flirtation with Maxie. In late May, he suggested that the two of them would begin a sexual relationship when she tires with her current boyfriend -- his friend Cooper. After seeing Cooper and Lulu conversing, Maxie made a bet with Logan: if he gets Lulu into bed, she'll sleep with him. Logan agreed and promised to not tell Coop.
Logan's paternity has become a central part of his storyline; Lulu suspected that his father was Scott Baldwin, who was revealed to have fathered a son in Texas around the time that Logan was born. Baldwin and Logan had a contentious relationship even before they were revealed to be father and son; Logan hates Baldwin not only because he needles Lulu but also because Baldwin ruined Logan's family with a bad business deal years before. On June 29, Logan confirmed that Baldwin is indeed his biological father, and on July 3, he admitted that he'd come to Port Charles to find him. Logan has known that Scott is his father since he was ten or twelve.
On April 24, Logan took over Cooper's old job as a security guard at the Metro Court hotel, though he considers the position temporary. Sonny Corinthos secured the job for him. Logan has been pushing Sonny Corinthos to give him a job with his mob organization since he arrived in Port Charles. Logan's even gone so far as to try to extract information from Alcazar's men to try to impress Sonny, and he has gotten into some violent altercations as a result. Logan's continuing efforts to be hired by Sonny's organization have gotten him on the mobster's bad side. After learning that Lulu had been present for some of the violence involving Logan and Lorenzo Alcazar's organization, Sonny threatened that if anything happened to Lulu because of Logan, Logan would be killed. He also vowed never to hire Logan. However, after Logan provided Sonny with information that prevented him from being killed, as well as information about the whereabouts of James Craig, Sonny went back on his previous word and hired Logan to work with the organization. When Jason Morgan was arrested for Alcazar's murder, Logan was put "in charge" at the coffee shop.
During a hospital stay after the gunfight at The Cellar, Cooper revealed that Logan once aspired to be a doctor. He originally joined the military to help pay for medical school. Logan has appeared interested in medicine in many of his scenes. In his first meeting with Lulu, he advised her on caring for the stitches from the injuries she sustained during the Metro Court hostage situation. While a patient at General Hospital, Logan asked Maxie, a hospital volunteer, for a medical journal to read.
Logan served in the same army platoon in Iraq with Cooper Barrett. On April 30, he mentioned that he had served two tours of duty in Iraq, meaning that he probably spent at least two years in the Middle East. He sold illegal merchandise while in the army, and in his very first episode, he was shown to carry both a gun and a propensity for doing things the easy way even if they aren't right. After a gunfight in The Cellar, Cooper told Mac Scorpio that he and Logan were both MPs and that Logan is licensed to carry a gun. Logan's military service record has prompted Damian Spinelli to dub him, among other things, "the crabby commando." He was dishonorably discharged from the military, and District Attorney Ric Lansing is using that information to force Logan to betray Sonny. [Source]
