History Characters / Castle2009

* NeutralGood - bordering on LawfulGood in the light of how she once insisted Richard punish her for a minor infraction he had been completely unaware of, and didn't consider a big deal when she told him. Though given how she has to order him to order her to do things she wants, it might have simply because she felt guilty rather than because he was suppose to punished her.

* '''Meredith''': Castle's first ex-wife and Alexis' mother. Though they love her, they find her impulsive, irresponsible personality annoying. She works as an actress. Castle describes her as a "deep-fried Twinkie" because though he knows she is bad for him, he still wants to [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean enjoy]] one occasionally.
* '''Gina Cowell''': Castle's second ex-wife and publisher. Gina resented Castle for trying to keep her from being a true mother to Alexis.
* '''Kyra Blaine''': One of Castle's ex-girlfriends who is reunited with him when a guest at her wedding is murdered. Believes, like so many others, that Beckett and Castle are a couple, is a total ShipperOnDeck and out-loud gives Beckett her blessing.

* '''Kate Beckett's father''': Fell into alcoholism after the death of his wife but recovered thanks to the help of his daughter. Kate now wears his watch to remember the life she saved. The watch is damaged when [[spoiler:Beckett's apartment is blown up]] but Castle has it repaired for her as a surprise.

* '''Scott Dunn''': A serial killer [[spoiler: who appears in "Tick Tick Tick..." and "Boom!" He commits several murders in New York "dedicated" to Kate Beckett, who he thinks of as Nikki Heat, and tries to frame a man named Ben Conrad.
