Michael Rebus is a stage hypnotist living in Kirkcaldy. He is the brother of John Rebus, and is married to Chrissie Rebus. He has two children. He has expensive tastes, lives in a large house and drives a BMW.
In the late 80s Michael was approached by 'Mr Big', purporting to be the head of a large drugs operation. He was employed to transport packages of drugs in exchange for money. In order to prove he was not in league with the police, he was required to give up information regarding the life of his brother John. However, this Mr Big was in fact Gordon Reeve, in a ploy to gain information about John Rebus's life and also hurt him by sending his brother to jail for criminal activity. Michael made many exchanges on Caldon Hill, where he was questioned about his relationship with John. When Samantha Rebus was captured he came to John's flat to use hypnosis to help him remember his past. Soon after he was confronted by journalist Jim Stevens about his drug activities as Stevens had been tailing him for some time.
When Stevens' story was run, Michael was exposed as the biggest dealer in Fife. He was sent to do time at Peterhead prison.
