This is a character sheet for the [[Series/Ultraviolet1998 British TV series]], not the live-action American film.
!!Michael Colefield
!!!Played by: Creator/JackDavenport
A police detective recruited into the squad after investigating into the disappearance of his best friend and fellow cop, Jack.
* AgentScully: Tends to look for mundane explanations for everything until proven otherwise. Unfortunately, due to the show's nature they almost never pan out.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Michael clearly has feelings for Kirsty, but the secrets he now has to keep from her, and the fact she may still love Jack, make any form of relationship impossible.
* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Michael goes out of his way to protect Kirsty, even [[spoiler:going behind his teammates' backs and seemingly risking the future of humanity]] just to save her.
* AudienceSurrogate: As the newest member of the team, he discovers the rules of the world along with the viewers.
* CassandraTruth: Often attributes human motives and emotions to the vampires' actions. The rest of the team usually dismiss him, but episodes 2 and 3 show there's an element of truth to it, with one vampire committing a revenge killing after being horribly burned by sunlight, while another seeks to turn his dying wife so they can be together again.
* DeadpanSnarker: The entire team are like that, but Michael gets a few winning lines.
-->''After Pearse clears him of accidentally shooting a human during an investigation''
-->'''Michael:''' So that's it, then? "Two Hail Marys and don't shoot any more civilians"?
* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler:Both of his potential LoveInterests reject him at the end of the series.]]
* EasilyForgiven: Even he's shocked at the lack of repercussions after he accidentally shoots a paedophile who he thought was a vampire.
* TheHeart: Subverted. Michael seems more caring compared to the rest of the team, but his empathy and compassion are often misguided, and ultimately used against him by the Code V's.
* KnightInSourArmor: While he seemed to be reasonably well-adjusted in his former job as a police detective, the stress and moral dilemmas of his new workplace make him increasingly bitter and sarcastic, although no less determined to protect people.
* NaiveNewcomer: Seen as such by the rest of the team, especially when suggesting ideas such as that vampires are capable of love.
* RefusalOfTheCall: At first, telling Pearse he has no interest in joining the team, despite having encountered the Code V threat face-to-face. Changes his mind after the true magnitude of the issue is explained to him.
* ReluctantWarrior: Struggles with constant moral qualms regarding the team's goals and methods.
* TokenGoodTeammate: What he often feels like with regards to the team's methods and views of Code Vs.
* WelcomeBackTraitor: [[spoiler:Apparently. To be fair, although he did trade with the vampires behind the others’ backs, he tricked them and didn't provide what they wanted.]]
!!Vaughan Rice
!!!Played by: Creator/IdrisElba
The main muscle of the squad. An aloof ex-soldier.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Towards Angie. He CannotSpitItOut, she is still hung up about her [[StakingTheLovedOne late husband]], and nothing comes out of it.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:Almost shoots himself rather than fall into the hands of the leeches. Lucky he thought of something else.]]
* TheBigGuy: The only military-trained member of the core team, and also the most willing to use violence.
* CannotSpitItOut: His feelings for Angie.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Ruthless and unfeeling, even he's visibly perturbed when Pearse elects to frame a deceased priest as a paedophile in order to spare his killer - a young boy unknowingly infected with vampirism - from jailtime.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Nicely demonstrated on Colin the pedophile in episode 4.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Genuinely cares for Angie, and starts really warming up to Mike towards the end of the series. Also shown when he decides to bring flowers to the paralyzed girl on episode 2.
* KickTheDog: Literally, with the pedophile's dog on episode 4. It's fair to note that the dog was attacking him at the time, but Vaughan's callous attitude and the dog's pitiful whine still make it count.
* HollywoodAtheist: Although nothing is done to change this.
* ScaryBlackMan: Big, menacing, occasionally violent and played by Creator/IdrisElba.
* ShellShockedVeteran: The official reason for his discharge from the Army is PTSD following a friendly fire incident. The actual incident was [[TranshumanTreachery different]], and while it was very traumatic, it’s unclear how much he really suffers PTSD and how much of it was just a cover story to let him join the squad.
* SociopathicSoldier: Seems like one at first. Has HiddenDepths.
* WhatTheHellHero: After his uncaring response as to who's going to tell the paralysed girlfriend of the victim they've just found, Michael gives him a short but sharp one of these. It actually seems to have some effect, given that later in the episode he goes to do it himself without any prompting, even buying her flowers to soften the blow. [[spoiler:Too bad she's a vampire by that point]].
-->'''Michael:''' You really don't give a shit, do you?
* TheWoobie: By the end of the series, everyone in the team has betrayed Vaughan’s trust in some way.
!!Dr. Angela March
!!!Played by: Susannah Harker
The scientist and doctor of the squad.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Possibly has the most difficult back story of all the main characters.
* DeadpanSnarker: As with the rest of the team.
-->'''Pearse:''' ''(referring to a captive vampire)'' How's the patient?
-->'''Angela:''' Still dead.
* DeterminedWidow: Unlike most examples, determined to stop the creatures her husband chose to join.
* EveryoneHasStandards: When she's interviewing a kid who's killed his school priest, she's understandably suspicious given the kid's unknowingly infected with vampirism. However, when Pearse shows up to intimidate the boy - who, thanks to the vampirism, is unwittingly terrified of anything to do with the Faith - she immediately puts a stop to it, understanding the boy is merely a victim.
* HotScientist: Not at all bad-looking, as noticed particularly by Vaughan.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: Offs a Code V from well over a hundred feet in the final episode. With a pistol.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Angie’s ruthless professionalism comes off as cold, but we get glimpses of a kinder personality underneath.
* MyBelovedSmother: Angie keeps tight control on her remaining daughter's life, forbidding her to leave home after dark and apparently not giving her much privacy. Not that she lacks good reasons, mind.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Averted. While being the team's only scientist, Angie is a physician specializing in hematology and is never shown doing anything science-y which is not related to her field of expertise.
* TheSmartGuy: Responsible for the scientific and forensic side of investigations.
* StakingTheLovedOne: For her husband and one of her daughters.
!!Pearse Harman
!!!Played by: Philip Quast
A former Catholic priest and the leader of the squad.
* AgentMulder: Always the first to suspect Code V involvement in everything. By the series' very nature, he's usually right.
* BadassBaritone: His actor has a natural one.
* BadassPreacher: Or ChurchMilitant, depends on whom you ask.
* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments.
-->'''Michael:''' So that's it, then? "Two Hail Marys and don't shoot any more civilians"?
-->'''Pearse:''' [[SnarkToSnarkCombat You can wear a hair shirt if it makes you feel better]].
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:Well, Terminal Disease by Irony. Pearse might have gotten his lymphoma from overexposure to the sun.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Pearse''': The Sun giveth, the Sun taketh away.]]
* KnightTemplar: The most ruthlessly determined of the team to rid the world of the Code V menace, seeing his job as a "vocation". He also refuses to listen to any suggestion that they might not all be completely evil. [[spoiler: Judging by the finale, he's right.]]
* TheLeader: Of the Code V extermination squad.
* NoMedicationForMe: [[spoiler:Unusually, used with cancer medication. He claims he wants to avoid cognitively impairing side effects while on investigation; he just might be [[CurseThatCures considering other options.]]]]
* SkunkStripe: Played by Philip Quast, who has a noticeable one.
* PreMortemOneLiner: Delivered to [[spoiler:Paul Hoyle, after an episode-long HannibalLecture.]]
-->'''Pearse''': [[ShutUpHannibal Thank you for your concern. I’m spoken for.]]
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: The vampires accuse him of this. Judging by the ending, [[spoiler:they’re probably lying.]]
* YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:Discovers mid-series that he suffers from slow-growing but incurable type of lymphoma.]]
!!Frances Pembroke
!!!Played by: Fiona Dolman
Michael's ex whom he constantly turns to for help and information.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: She might still have some feelings for Michael, who doesn't seem to see her as much more than a friend and useful contact.
* AmicableExes: Towards Mike, although he is less so towards her. We're never told what happened between them to cause this.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Michael's Archie and Kirsty's Betty. [[spoiler:Ironically, at the end of the series she is the one urging Michael to behave sensibly while Kirsty lures him (unintentionally) into danger.]]
* FriendOnTheForce: She's Michael's Friend on the Intelligence Service.
* GetOut: In the final episode, when Mike finally asks for something she feels she can't do. (Namely, [[spoiler:helping him trade an unknown and possibly dangerous substance in exchange for Kirsty's life).]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: Tells Kirsty when they meet to leave Michael alone. While she may be doing it to twist the knife in for her love rival, the final episodes show it would have been better for everyone if Kirsty had listened to her.
* {{Troll}}: Tells Mike she thinks Kirsty and Jacob are intimate - then admits she made it up to annoy him given his obvious attraction to Kirsty.
!!Kirsty Maine
!!!Played by: Colette Brown
Jack's fiancée. After his disappearance, her constant efforts to discover what happened to him put Michael in an uncomfortable position.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Betty to Michael’s Archie and Frances’ Veronica. She clearly dislikes the haughty and sophisticated Frances and believes (justly) that Frances looks down on her.
* ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: Michael's rescue of her, while risking his job and possibly his life, earns him a slap on the face for his trouble. To be fair, she was probably mad about him [[spoiler:resurrecting Jack to show her what he's become]] rather than about the rescue itself.
* DamselInDistress: Unknowingly until the very last moment.
* HotTeacher: Works as an elementary school teacher.
* TheLoad: Her entire character arc is making Michael's life more difficult in one way or another.
* TheWoobie: Her husband-to-be disappears on their wedding day, their best friend Michael lies to her about what actually happened and stonewalls her at every turn, her quest to find answers leads to her being used as a pawn by the Code Vs - and after Michael then [[spoiler:resurrects the now-vampiric Jack to show her what he's become, her ex swiftly shows her how little she means to him]]. Kirsty brings some of it on herself to be sure, but it's hard not to feel sorry for her by the end of the series.
!!Jack Beresford
!!!Played by: Stephen Moyer
Michael's best friend and Kirsty's fiancé. His disappearance at his wedding day eventually leads Michael to discover the truth about Code V's.
* DirtyCop: Jack wasn't all that even as a human.
* EvilFormerFriend: Was Michael's closest friend, although he was bent even before turning.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Tells Kirsty to get a life [[spoiler:on being resurrected]] when he realises how long she's been investigating his disappearance. Even Pearse tells her it's sound advice.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Upon being resurrected, immediately uses Kirsty, his former fiance - who's spent the entire series trying to find out what happened to him - as a human shield. Then, on working out why she's there, tells her to get a life.]]
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:After he's resurrected in the finale, tells Michael he owes him and that he'll leave Kirsty alone.]]
* [[RunawayBride Runaway Groom]]: Disappears the night before his wedding day, leaving his would-be wife and the wedding guests to wait for him in the church until it becomes clear he isn't showing up.
* SmugSnake: As a Code V, Jack is smug, mean and manipulative, but ultimately he's a pawn that gets taken down fast.
* TranshumanTreachery: With a side dish of human treachery.
* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: Resurrected in the finale.]]
* OneLiner: "Get a life."
!!Jacob Kenalt
!!!Played by: Thomas Lockyer
A tabloid journalist recruited by Kirsty to help her investigate into Jack's disappearance.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Looking for government conspiracies is apparently his specialty, and why Kirsty turns to him in the first place.
* FaceHeelTurn: Seemed to be more-or-less decent as a human, and willing to help Kirsty. As with all Code V's, once he is turned he quickly signs up for their cause.
* IHaveYourWife: Well, he has an unrequited love interest...
* IntrepidReporter: An investigative journalist, although with a less-than-sterling reputation.
* SmugSnake: When he drops his pretenses.
* TranshumanTreachery: As poor Kirsty eventually learns.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: What happens when a Code V eats human food?
!!John Doe/[[spoiler: Paul Hoyle]]
!!!Played by: Corin Redgrave
A senior Code V captured 'alive' by the squad.
%% * CurseThatCures: His backstory.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's unfailingly polite and well-spoken, presents himself as an old friend of Angie's husband and is able to argue the vampires' case to [[spoiler:tempt Pearse]] with remarkable clarity and reasoning. However, once the magnitude of the Code Vs' plans is revealed, it becomes obvious he's this.
%% * HannibalLecture: Gives what is probably the longest one in the series.
