History Characters / TheLibrarians2014

* ImmortalityHurts: Despite being NighInvulnerable to many things (he can just shake off a roof collapsing on him), he notes that he's been put through worse torture than any mortal could dream on more than one occasion.

* CynicismCatalyst: He's easily the grumpiest of the group, but he is really just tired of getting his hopes up and having them dashed over a series of bad events that he just wanted to live in seclusion. He hasn't said exactly what, but they seem to imply his fallout with [[WeUsedToBeFriends Dulaque]].

* AmbiguouslyBi: She's had loads of ShipTease with several women throughout the show, on top of her reaction to becoming a ChickMagnet in "And the Fables of Doom". She's also had mild teasing with Stone and Ezekiel. Confirmed in "The Eternal Question", where she asks Jenkins out on a date but later shares a kiss with Estrella.

* BiTheWay: Confirmed in "The Eternal Question".

* CommutingOnABus: His role in the series, which focuses on the trio of [=LITs=] and their Guardian while he is off searching for [[spoiler:how to get the Library back in this world. He succeeds at the end of the first season, so he instead spends most of the second season searching the world for missing artefacts.]]

* LostLenore: He pledged is love to someone a long time ago only for her to marry someone else and eventually die of old age. As a knight bound by the code of chivalry, he takes his pledge deadly seriously and refuses to love anyone else for as long as he lives. [[spoiler:That person is revealed to be Charlene, whose heart belongs to Judson, her Librarian]].

* CatchPhrase: "Jenkins, quick question", whenever something starts going wrong. Jenkins almost always answers her inquiries with an very unreassuring answer in a nonchalant way.

* {{Adorkable}}: As Ray, it is a childlike, sweet person who loves milkshakes and travels around in a bookmobile.

--> '''Jake:''' Well, my Urdu's a little rusty.
* RefusalOfTheCall: He not only turned down an opportunity to interview for the position of The Librarian, he also turned down scholarships to two major schools in order stay home and work in the oil fields. It's later revealed that a major impetus for Stone staying was because his father was too drunk to do anything to save the company Stone's great-grandfather founded.
* SouthernFriedGenius: Stone works on an oil rig in Oklahoma, but has an IQ of 190 and is an expert in art history.
* TookALevelInBadass: In "And the Fatal Separation", Stone spends several months in TheShangriLa, learning martial arts from the Monkey King himself, and has gotten so good he can beat his teacher even when the latter uses his tail as a weapon. He's then shown to be easily capable of beating up ninjas, even while ''drugged''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: When we finally get to meet Jake's dad in Season 2 it's made clear that the man will go out of his way and ignore all semblance of logic to blame all of his problems on how his son has failed him. The episode focuses on Jake letting go of the part of himself that still wants his father's approval and moving on.

[[folder: Cassandra Cillian]]
!!Cassandra Cillian

->'''Portrayed By''': Creator/LindyBooth

A Librarian In Training. She has the special gift of auditory and sensory hallucinations linked to memory retrieval known as synesthesia.
----
* AbusiveParents: Cassandra describes her parents as very strictly limiting and controlling her life in an attempt to groom her as an intellectual, doing things like telling her Santa wasn't real at the age of three and forbidding her from a normal teenage social life or any hobbies or entertainment that didn't have educational value or look good on a college application. By the time the series starts they seem to have abandoned her completely, at least in any emotional sense - Cassandra never mentions having any contact with them, and in "And the Rule of Three" she says sadly that she thinks they loved the dream they had for her future more than they loved her.
* {{Adorkable}}: Cassandra is ''very'' enthusiastic about her job. Especially in "The Rule of Three".
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''assandra '''C'''illian.
* AlmightyJanitor: When she first appears she works at a hospital as a janitor even though she seems to know more about medicine than any of the doctors there.
* TheArchmage: In an alternate timeline where [[spoiler:she's the Librarian]], Cassandra learned magic from Morgan le Fay.
* AmbiguouslyBi: She's had loads of ShipTease with several women throughout the show, on top of her reaction to becoming a ChickMagnet in "And the Fables of Doom". She's also had mild teasing with Stone and Ezekiel. Confirmed in "The Eternal Question", where she asks Jenkins out on a date but later shares a kiss with Estrella.
* BadassAdorable:
** When she's DrunkOnTheDarkSide.
** [[spoiler: Also in another timeline where she's ''the'' Librarian]].
* BiTheWay: Confirmed in "The Eternal Question".
* BlessedWithSuck: She has a practically magical mathematical ability that keeps saving the Librarians from almost certain death, but it's all because of a brain tumor that will eventually kill her. [[spoiler: somewhat averted, however, when she finally has the surgery to get the tumor removed and her ability is even stronger--to the point where she's telepathic]]
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Dulaque keeps Lamia from killing her because even a proto-Librarian can be useful to their plans. [[WickedCultured And because he doesn't want blood on the rug.]]
** Mostly the rug.
* TheChick: She is the more feminine of the two women on the team.
* ChickMagnet: Becomes one as she takes on the role of Prince Charming as a result of fables coming to life. She's pretty okay with it. She also has a habit of attracting one or two girls a season.
* ChildHater: When she and Ezekiel are stuck telling each other secret truths in order to keep a door open in "and What Lies Beneath the Stones" (ItMakesSenseInContext), one of the things she shouts is that she can't stand babies. The magical lie-detecting door doesn't close.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Under the effects of the AppleOfDiscord she uses her knowledge of mathematics to disable Lamia effortlessly, as well as use a single power station to create a chain reaction that would destroy all of the power grids in Europe.
* CursedWithAwesome: Cassandra's synesthesia is really cool and allows her to do things like calculate how the sun would fall on a specific day of the year, but triggering it cripples her with sensations for a while (as well as giving her nosebleeds) and her abilities are tied to a grape-sized tumor in her brain. [[spoiler: until "The Eternal Question" where the tumor gets removed and it turns out it was actually holding her back, on the down side though the new upgrade to her powers is even more overwhelming]]
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: She was working as a janitor at a hospital and gave the correct diagnoses where the doctor had it wrong... and then had to work through the sensations and thoughts her synesthesia was overwhelming her with.
* EvilRedhead: While not evil per se, her actions in the first episode demonstrate that if your character is played by Lindy Booth, she's probably going to be untrustworthy at some point. Of course, we get the straight up evil with the Apple of Discord.
* IllGirl: She has a tumor the size of a grape in her brain. [[spoiler: until The Eternal Question when it finally gets removed]]
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted. While the majority of the team welcomes her back with no repercussions after she betrays them in the first episode, Jake - although he enjoys working with her - still doesn't trust her, and most likely never will.
* MeaningfulName: She can see everything. However, that power comes with a curse.
* MissedTheCall: She missed out on interviewing to be the Librarian when Flynn got the job. As opposed to the boys' RefusalOfTheCall, Cassandra was in the hospital at the time and couldn't make it to the interview. However, upon learning the mysteries of the library she JumpedAtTheCall.
* MotorMouth: Cassandra can spout mathematics really fast indeed.
* NextTierPowerUp: After her surgery, Cassandra's synesthesia seems to have returned... and the tumor seems to have been blocking off possible photographic memory, as well as PsychicPowers such as telepathy.
** For the record, Flynn claimed she already had a photographic memory in the first episode.
* MsFanservice: She generally wears short dresses. And then she turns evil and takes the dress off...
* NotAfraidToDie: Having been told at a young age that she will die due to her tumor, Cassandra has accepted her doomed fate so much that she has a date already in mind. Not that she would say no to a convenient and easy magical cure, of course...
-->'''Cassandra''': I know what Death looks like. I see it every day when I look in a mirror.
* ThePollyanna: That tumor has ''seriously'' messed up her life. She's had it since she was young, it ''is'' going to kill her, it's heavily implied that it somehow ruined her relationship with her parents to the point that she has stated that she has no one, and she was working as a janitor at a hospital before becoming a [=LIT=], a low-paying job when she probably has some serious tumor-related medical bills to pay. Despite all this she is a pretty upbeat person.
* PsychicNosebleed: Whenever she tries to visualize something too complex, like a map of the leylines, or how [[spoiler:the pyramids could open a portal into the void]].
* RummageSaleReject: Her taste in clothes involves some really odd combinations at times, such as overall shorts with two different floral patterns and bright purple leggings in "And the Heart of Darkness," or the over-the-top Christmas-themed dress and striped tights she wears in "And Santa's Midnight Run." Her EvilCostumeSwitch in "And the Apple of Discord" proves that this even extends to her undergarments, given that she turns out to be wearing leopard print hotpants over black leggings under her girly floral dress for some reason.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: When Cassandra's synesthesia takes her to her HappyPlace, it involves breakfast foods, usually cereal with milk.
** In the inverse, she used to really like grapes, but then the doctors described her tumor as "the size of a grape".
* VerbalTic: Repeating words (usually in [[RuleOfThree threes]]) when doing calculations.
* YourDaysAreNumbered: Cassandra has a brain tumor that will eventually kill her. [[spoiler: until "The Eternal Question, in which she has a life saving surgery that takes care of it]]

[[folder: Ezekiel Jones]]
!!Ezekiel Jones

->'''Portrayed By''': John Kim

A Librarian In Training. He’s a master thief and the team's go to guy when it comes to technology.
----
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Despite finding out that magic is real, at first he flatly refuses to believe in certain things.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He's definitely the youngest of the Librarians, around late teens, early twenties.
* BeingGoodSucks: When Ezekiel wore Santa's hat, thereby becoming an embodiment of good will, he was literally sickened by how jolly and selfless it made him.
** Averted in "And The Point Of Salvation": [[spoiler: it's finally made explicit (to the other librarians and the viewers) how selfless and kind he can truly be.]]
** Averted even more in "And The Christmas Thief", which reveals that [[spoiler: he never actually kept any of the money he made from his heists. Instead, he gave it to people and communities that needed it.]]
* BookDumb: Among the main cast, Jones has the least knowledge of history, folklore, and academia outside of his own personal interests. Stone frequently voices exasperation about the things that Ezekiel doesn't know about, which include the Dewey Decimal System and ''Atlantis''.
* BrilliantButLazy: In "And the Point of Salvation", he is able to quickly learn about engineering, physics and combat from his teammates when he really has to.
* ChildProdigy: Was but a teenager when he got his invitation to be a Librarian. In the timeline when he does become a Librarian a decade prior to the series, Eve Baird becomes a mother figure to him.
* CrazyPrepared: Played for laughs. When it turns out that he has to go up against vampires, he lines the interior of a trench coat with garlic, a cross, wooden stakes, holy water vials, and a ''sword'' so that he has every possible vampire weakness covered.
* DisabilityImmunity: Is the only one to hold the Apple of Discord without any drawbacks [[spoiler: because he is already the worst version of himself]].
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: We first see him use his wits trying to steal something before Flynn catches him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: An unrepentant thief, but there are some things he says even he won't do:
-->'''Ezekiel:''' I made a good living walking the line between snatching and borrowing, but ''[[BodySnatcher this]]''? These people have gone too far.
* HeelRealization: One for the audience during "And the Apple of Discord". Jones' worst possible version of himself was him exactly as he was, a narcissistic thief with enough compassion and scruples to be a hero when called upon. If that's the worst possible version of him, imagine what the ''best'' possible version could do.
* HeroicBSOD: Poor Ezekiel has a major breakdown during "And the Point of Salvation". [[spoiler: Watching your friends die in front of you over and over again? I'm surprised he didn't have a complete mental breakdown.]]
* TheImmune:
** The [[spoiler:Apple of Discord]] has zero effect on him, apparently because [[spoiler:as a completely self-centered thief, he's already the worst he could ever be]].
** He was also immune to the love potion in "And the Curse of Cindy". Everyone assumed it was because he's already such an egomaniac,[[spoiler: but it's later revealed that it's because he was already in love with Cindy.]]
* ItsAllAboutMe: Subverted. While Jones definitely has a ''very'' generous amount of self-esteem, he's a lot more empathetic than people give him credit for.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Professional thief, general smartass, but genuinely goodhearted, and willing to put his life in danger to stop the bad guys. However, he doesn't think he's a hero, just a rogue.
* JustLikeRobinHood: [[spoiler:Ezekiel ''never'' keep the money from any heists of his thieving days. He donated every cent to communities and people in need.]]
* KarmaHoudini: While he doesn't do anything ''really'' bad, he still tends to avoid serious negative consequences.
** This is, in fact, WEAPONIZED in the "And the Fables of Doom". He's Jack, TheFool.
* TheNicknamer: Named Cassandra's tumor "the brain grape" and calls Cassandra "Math Girl". When a gargoyle starts following him around, he names it Stumpy.
* NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction: Or so he claims, when Stone asks him why he hasn't used any of the ridiculously useful magical artifacts in the Library to steal things (the closest he comes is using the back door to evade police).
* PokeThePoodle: Most of his "evil" in TokenEvilTeamMate really falls here. [[spoiler:And apparently, that's as evil as he's capable of being.]]
* RefusalOfTheCall: He threw away his invitation to become the Librarian.
* SesquipedalianSmith: Ezekiel Jones.
* TheSmartGuy: While all of the Librarians are geniuses in their respective specialties, Ezekiel is the one most prone to spouting random TechnoBabble.
* StatusQuoIsGod: No matter how much character growth he goes through over the course of an episode, it will somehow be undone before the final credits roll.
* TechnoWizard: One of his more overlooked traits.
* TokenEvilTeammate: He makes no lie that he'll steal something or badger with authority, but he's [[spoiler: already at his most evil since he remains unchanged while holding the Apple of Discord]].
* TykeBomb: Ezekiel was raised by a female [[TheFagin Fagin]] who lives and breathes thievery. It's a miracle he turned out the LoveableRogue he is today.

[[folder: Jenkins]]
!!Jenkins

->'''Portrayed By''': John Larroquette

The caretaker of the Library’s Annex.
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Jenkins/[[spoiler:Galahad]] is the only one to ever best Dulaque/[[spoiler:Lancelot]] with a sword.
* BadassGrandpa: He's an elderly man who holds his own against Sir Lancelot and at one point single-handedly cut down an entire group of vampires.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Gives up his immortality to save Nicole Noone from death, becoming a rank and file human.]]
* CynicismCatalyst: He's easily the grumpiest of the group, but he is really just tired of getting his hopes up and having them dashed over a series of bad events that he just wanted to live in seclusion. He hasn't said exactly what, but they seem to imply his fallout with [[WeUsedToBeFriends Dulaque]].
* DeadpanSnarker: All the time.
* ElderlyImmortal: He looks like a man in his 60s, even though he’s centuries old and immortal. A scene in "And What Lies Beneath the Stones" briefly shows a photo of a youthful-looking Jenkins which appears to have been taken sometime in the 1970s, making it unclear how his apparent age relates to his immortality.
* HiddenDepths: Not only a master of Library lore, he's on FirstNameBasis with Mrs. Santa Claus, is a master swordsman, and is conversant with rap and hip-hop.
-->'''Ezekiel:''' Hmm, Jenkins, you know about hip hop?\\
'''Jenkins:''' Ah, well, as Eric B. and Rakim so aptly flowed, "I'm paid in full."
* ImmortalityHurts: Despite being NighInvulnerable to many things (he can just shake off a roof collapsing on him), he notes that he's been put through worse torture than any mortal could dream on more than one occasion.
* ItsPersonal: There are hints that Jenkins and Judson didn't really get along, which is why Jenkins was "exiled" to the Annex instead of being in the Library. Jenkins claims it was because Judson only wanted to lock up the dangerous magical artifacts, while Jenkins wanted to study and find a use for them. [[spoiler:The real reason is Charlene. Both immortals love her, but her heart only belongs to Judson]].
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: A devil notes what an achievement it would be to get him to sign a deal, due to his reputation [[spoiler: as Galahad, purest and best of the Arthurian knights]] for this trope.
* KnightInSourArmor: Almost literally.
* LostLenore: He pledged is love to someone a long time ago only for her to marry someone else and eventually die of old age. As a knight bound by the code of chivalry, he takes his pledge deadly seriously and refuses to love anyone else for as long as he lives. [[spoiler:That person is revealed to be Charlene, whose heart belongs to Judson, her Librarian]].
* MinoredInAsskicking: Prefers to stay in his books and act as MissionControl, however, when the need arises he is easily the best fighter in the group. [[spoiler: He is, after all, freaking Galahad!]]
* Really700YearsOld: Several episodes hint he is older than he looks before finally revealing that [[spoiler: he is Sir Galahad of Camelot,]] in the Season 1 finale.
* RulesLawyer: His knowledge of rules and procedures is so extensive that he’s able to successfully stall for time during the Conclave.
* RunningGag: Each episode shows him communicating by use of a different archaic landline phone. One of which is a payphone on a rolling stand.
* SarcasticDevotee: He snarks at Flynn and the [=LITs=] and their idealism, but is staunchly loyal to them and takes care of them. Ezekiel calls him out on it in "And the Apple of Discord," pointing out that Jenkins talks down to everyone and makes them feel like idiots while at the same time nudging them in the right direction to help them succeed.
* SufficientlyAdvancedMagic: Before the [=LITs=] came along, his area of study was repurposing magical artifacts into practical inventions.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Dulaque and Jenkins appear to have been quite close in the old days, before each chose their current paths. [[spoiler:Made even more prominent when it's revealed that they are Lancelot and Galahad respectively, and turning it into ParentalIssues since Lancelot was Galahad's father in the legends.]]

[[folder:The Library]]
!!The Library

->aka '''Ray Glasney'''
-> '''Portrayed by:''' Drew Powell

A sentient library that is its own dimension.

* {{Adorkable}}: As Ray, it is a childlike, sweet person who loves milkshakes and travels around in a bookmobile.
* BiggerOnTheInside: The Library is a dimension unto itself; its current main access point appears to be a few hundred square feet of stone building.
* ChaosArchitecture: Can shift around rooms as it pleases (or as the Librarians request).
* EldritchAbomination: Is a sentient library.
* HumanoidAbomination: When its soul becomes unstuck from its body it takes human shape, but has superhuman strength, NighInvulnerability, and who knows what else if it had been aware of what it was doing.
* GeniusLoci: The Library is sentient and has displayed a will of its own, helping in things like the selection of new Librarians.
* MagicalLibrary: A sentient library filled with magical tomes and artifacts.
* OurSoulsAreDifferent: When Flynn releases it from [[spoiler: the failsafe that had locked it away in another dimension, its soul gets unstuck from its physical form and becomes humanoid, leaving the physical form of the Library functional--but falling apart, forced to eat away at the magic artifacts it contains to try to keep it alive. Ultimately, it would have even consumed the souls of its inhabitants.]]

!The Serpent Brotherhood

[[folder: Dulaque]]
!!Dulaque

->'''Portrayed By''': Matt Frewer / Creator/JerryOConnell (as his younger self)

The mysterious immortal leader of the Serpent Brotherhood
----
* ArchNemesisDad: Turns out he's actually [[spoiler: Jenkins' father, Lancelot.]]
* BigBad: He serves this purpose in the show's first season, as the leader of the Brotherhood
* EvilBrit: He's British, and is pretty darn evil.
* ElderlyImmortal: He looks like a man in his 50s, even though he’s centuries old and immortal. It is unknown if this is due to him aging very slowly or because he acquired his immortality when he was already an old man.
* EvilIsHammy: He seems to thoroughly enjoy being hammy all the time. Especially when eating pizza.
* FountainOfYouth: Cutting [[spoiler:the Loom of Fate]] restored him to his youthful form from when he was [[spoiler:still a knight of Camelot, if temporarily.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Lancelot '''du Lac'''.]]
* Really700YearsOld: He is older than Jenkins and his immortality is demonstrated on the show.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Dulaque is apparently a well-respected philanthropist. You know, on top of leading an evil cult that wants to TakeOverTheWorld with magic.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Jenkins before they each chose their current paths. [[spoiler:Was, in fact, his father.]]
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:At the end of the first season he simply disappears when the Loom of Fate is repaired. ]]
* WickedCultured: He stops Lamia from killing [[spoiler: Cassandra]] because he doesn't want blood on his new rug. He also has an extensive private collection of artwork and artifacts.
* VillainBall: Justified example. After putting on Santa's hat, he's forced to obey Christmas Wishes, though he can resist. So, the heroes wish for him to take actions that benefit him in the short term, but not the long term.
* XanatosGambit: Though he was fairly active in interfering with the Librarians, at the season finale [[spoiler: he tips off Flynn with information of how to get the Library back, and relies on them using their collected artifacts to open a gateway to the Loom of Fate.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lamia]]
!!Lamia

->'''Portrayed By''': Creator/LesleyAnnBrandt

Dulaque's second-in-command in the Serpent Brotherhood.
----
* TheDragon: She serves as Dulaque’s main enforcer and assassin.
* EvilBrit: British. Evil. Tries to kill the Librarians for the sake of bringing magic back into the world.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:By Dulaque, no less.]]
* KnifeNut: Lamia likes her knives.
* MeaningfulName: Lamia was the name of a woman in Greek mythology cursed by Hera. She is typically depicted as becoming a serpent woman. In the series, Lamia is somewhat of a knife nut that prefers killing people via overhand stabbing, never mind working for a serpent-themed cult.
* NumberTwo:
** She seems to answer only to Dulaque.
** [[spoiler: In the timeline where Cassandra is the Librarian, Lamia is her Guardian.]]
* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: She’s always wearing sexy revealing outfits even when they would be counterproductive.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Lamia genuinely wants to make the world better, and thinks bringing magic back will do that. It's just that she's willing to go to any lengths to achieve this goal. "And the Loom of Fate" indicates that under other circumstances, she could have taken a more heroic path [[spoiler:and become a Guardian]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once Dulaque has no use for her.]]
[[/folder]]

!Fictionals
[[folder:Prospero]]
!!Prospero

->'''Portrayed By''': Richard Cox

A sorcerer from the works of Creator/WilliamShakespeare, specifically Theatre/TheTempest.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: In Theatre/TheTempest Prospero wasn't the nicest person to be around, but he wasn't the outright villain he is here. [[spoiler: It's a clue that he's not really the Prospero from "The Tempest", he's the Prospero from an earlier, unpublished version of the play called "The Triumph of Prospero". See also DemonicPossession below.]]
* AlmightyJanitor: He disguised himself as a museum janitor in order to recover his drowned book.
* BadBoss: He insults Moriarty for not being high born and Moriarty states he would pull a YouHaveFailedMe if Moriarty didn't return with Ariel's watch that Eve had stolen.
* BigBad: Of Season 2.
* DemonicPossession: Is actually [[spoiler: William Shakespeare]] possessed by Prospero acting out as [[spoiler:Shakespear's ''id''.]]
* EvilSorcerer: Of course.
* GratuitousIambicPentameter: Speaks in rhyming couplets of iambic pentameter.
* RefugeeFromTVLand: He's a Fictional, a fictional character that's come to life due to extreme popularity.
* ScrewDestiny: He's somehow found a way to rebel against the ending of his original story, reclaiming his book and seeking his staff.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Moriarty]]
!!James Moriarty

->'''Portrayed By''': David S. Lee

Noted mathematician and criminal mastermind. The famed enemy of Franchise/SherlockHolmes.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: While still not a hero by any means, he is still far nicer than any other incarnation of the character.
* AffablyEvil: He's working for Prospero under duress, and is more than happy to work with Eve when their objectives temporarily align
* AmbiguouslyBi: Regularly flirts with Eve and once states that he and Holmes were almost "partners" but didn't want to work with him.
* TheDragon: To Prospero in Season 2.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: With Eve. He refers to her as "Duchess" and considers her a WorthyOpponent.
* RefugeeFromTVLand: He's a Fictional, a fictional character that's come to life due to extreme popularity. Or brought to life by Prospero's magic as the case may be.
* SherlockScan: Ironically, he pulls off a number of these, such as deducing Jenkins' past as [[spoiler: a Knight of the Round Table]] based on his accent and hand movements.
[[/folder]]


[[folder:Frankenstein's monster]]
!!Frankenstein's monster

->'''Portrayed By''': Michael Gladis

Victor Frankenstein's attempt at creating life, brought from the book by Prospero's magic.

----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The original monster was described as a hideously ugly creation, with translucent yellowish skin pulled so taut over the body that it "barely disguised the workings of the arteries and muscles underneath"; watery, glowing eyes, flowing black hair, black lips, and prominent white teeth. Here he's got a nasty scar on the side of his face but that's about it.
* IJustWantToBeLoved: His primary motivation.
* KillItWithFire: Subverted. Ezekiel, taking cues from the movie, believes that the monster is afraid of fire and brandishes a lighter at him. He just blows it out.
* PurpleProse: Stark contrast to his more famous film version, the creature is quite well spoken.
--> I hold no hate for fire. My hate is reserved for those who abhor me, meaning thee, man, who fancies himself in the image of the Divine, and yet vilifies me as monster!
* TalkingTheMonsterToDeath: Flynn and Ezekiel get him to pull a HeelFaceTurn by convincing him to get plastic surgery and go into professional sports.

[[/folder]]
!Supernatural Beings
[[folder:The Minotaur]]
!!The Minotaur

->'''Portrayed by:''' Tyler Mane

The fearsome beast of Greek myth. Nasty creature. Holds a grudge.
----
* BadassBiker: His human disguise.
* GroinAttack: Can take multiple gunshots straight to the crotch, and it only knocks him down for a half minute.
* ImmuneToBullets: All they do is agitate him.
* MorphicResonance: His human disguise looks very bull-like, with a bull-like nose ring. And a tendency to snort.
* SuperPersistentPredator: Once you're in his labyrinth, he won't rest until you're dead.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Santa Claus]]
!!Santa Claus

->'''Portrayed By''': Creator/BruceCampbell

An immortal magical being who gathers the good will of all mankind and spreads it all over the world on Christmas Eve.
----
* BadassGrandpa: Despite being in the form of a 58 year old, and being considerably older than that, he's a powerful magical being that's more than able to mix it up when the occasion calls for it.
* BoisterousBruiser: In his Odin incarnation he loves a good bar brawl.
* CharmPerson: Santa is one. He can spread good will to people.
* FullNameBasis: How Santa refers to everyone.
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Santa's personality reflects the prevailing mythology about him, of which the jolly and benevolent "Santa Claus" is only the most current. Since there have been many different versions of the myth throughout the ages, he's had many different personalities... which he switches between unpredictably without his talisman to stabilize him.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Santa does this. Eve finds it annoying. [[spoiler: And it's a VERY bad thing when he stops.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Morgan le Fay]]
!!Morgan le Fay

->'''Portrayed By''': Creator/AliciaWitt

The most powerful sorceress in the world.
----
* TheBadGuyWins: In the episode "And the Rule of Three". The [=LITs=] save the people she was going to kill, but she still got the magical power that she wanted.
* EvilIsHammy: As soon as her true identity is revealed she turns up the ham UpToEleven.
* EvilRedhead: This incarnation of Morgan is a redhead, and like most others she's definitely got the evil part down.
* GigglingVillain: Sent into a laughing fit when Eve punches and head-butts her, amused that she's been hit for the first time in centuries.
* ImmuneToBullets: She’s long since figured magical countermeasures for them.
-->'''Morgan''': Please. If shooting me was an option, how do you think I would have survived the 19th century? When [[Creator/AlfredLordTennyson Tennyson]] became popular, it was a ''nightmare''.
* InsistentTerminology: Prefers to be called a ''sorceress'' instead of witch because “witch” has too much gender baggage.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: When portraying the STEM fair sponsor.
* Really700YearsOld: She’s been around since the days of Camelot.
* SmugSnake: [[SarcasmMode Surprisingly for a centuries old all-powerful sorceress]], she's quite arrogant and condescending, mocking Eve and Jenkins while playing them for chumps.
* WouldHurtAChild: Her plan in the episode "And the Rule of Three" would’ve resulted in the deaths of dozens of young people.
* VainSorceress: Unlike Jenkins and Dulaque, who are at least as old as her, she uses magic to keep herself young and beautiful despite being [[Really700YearsOld centuries old]].
* YouFightLikeACow: Said to Eve when she challenges Morgan to a fight in the realm between seconds: "Guardian, on your best day you might be able to muss up my hair. And you've already had your best day."

[[folder: Sesselman]]
!!Sesselman

A devil (small "d") who makes {{Faustian Bargain}}s.
----
* AchillesHeel: He's an all-powerful demon who can grant you anything you ask for, as long as you sign his contract. However, he has one major weakness: he ''must'' grant whatever the signatory wishes for, even if it isn't in his best interest. Eve [[BroughtDownToNormal exploits this]] to defeat him.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Courtesy of Eve Baird's wish.
* TheCorrupter: Frequently suggests that he enjoys getting good, heroic people to sign his contracts. He remarked that Jenkins [[spoiler:(a/k/a Sir Galahad)]] would be an amazing addition, and is very keen to get his "first Librarian". Fails to do this to Baird, whose wish is to tell "Sess" that she wishes he were [[BroughtDownToNormal a human being.]]
* DealWithTheDevil: His Modus Operandi.
* DeclarationOfProtection: States that his contract will flawlessly protect whoever signs it.
* DevilInPlainSight: Averted. As Jenkins points out, devils never appear in red tights with pitchforks, tails and horns. Instead, they appear as what you desire most.
* DoubleTake: Has one when Baird makes her wish. He is about to engage in some EvilGloating, when he suddenly realizes exactly what it was that Baird said.
* {{Expy}}: As a nigh-omnipotent trickster played by John de Lancie, Sesselman definitely has a few shades of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Q.]] Except Q isn't actually evil, despite doing a good impression of it at times.
* FaustianBargain: Can offer you anything you want in exchange for your soul.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He always seems to be polite and businesslike, except for a bit of EvilGloating. However, he also seems to be very enthusiastic about the death and destruction his contracts will cause.
* KarmaHoudini: Played with. He's never arrested or brought to any sort of Justice for killing the girl at the beginning of the episode, but he is BroughtDownToNormal, and that might be a far worse fate for him. Also, possibly justified, as he may not have killed the girl directly, and it may only have been the magic of the contract at work.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Told Baird she'd have to make a wish to undo the previous contract. [[BroughtDownToNormal She does.]]
* MagicAIsMagicA: It isn't enough to sign your name to the contract and try to run out the clock. If you do not make a wish on Sesselman's contract, the original terms for the previous signatory will remain in effect.
* MyGrandsonMyself: How Sesselman has stayed in business. He just changes his given name and keeps the same surname.
* MyNameIsNotDurwood: Really hates it when anyone, particularly Baird, calls him "Sess".
* YourSoulIsMine: Par for the course. It's also said that he feeds on the misery and suffering caused to others by the wish.

* HeelRealization: One for the audience during "And the Apple of Discord". Jones's worst possible version of himself was him exactly as he was, a narcissistic thief with enough compassion and scruples to be a hero when called upon. If that's the worst possible version of him, imagine what the ''best'' possible version could do.

* SherlockScan: Ironically, he pulls off a number of these, such as deducing Jenkins's past as [[spoiler: a Knight of the Round Table]] based on his accent and hand movements.

-> '''Portrayed By''': JohnDeLancie

* CunningLinguist: As noted by Cassandra when he spoke cockney rhyming slang.
--> '''Cassandra:''' Are there any languages you don't speak?
--> '''Jake:''' Well, my Urdu's a little rusty.

** The [[spoiler:Apple of Discord]] has zero effect on him, apparently because [[spoiler:as a completely self-centred thief, he's already the worst he could ever be]].
** He was also immune to the love potion in And the Curse of Cindy. Everyone assumed it was because he's already such an egomaniac[[spoiler:, but it's later revealed that it's because he was already in love with Cindy.]]

* ElderlyImmortal: He looks like a man in his 60s, even though he’s centuries old and immortal. At present it is unknown if this is due to him aging very slowly or because he acquired his immortality when he was already an old man.

* Really700YearsOld: He is implied to be as old as Jenkins and his immortality is demonstrated on the show.
