| 10 | [[folder:Pete Lattimer]] |
| 11 | |
| 12 | -->'''Played By:''' Creator/EddieMcClintock |
| 13 | |
| 14 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/warehouse_13_pete_lattimer_eddie_mcclintock_suit_coat.jpg]] |
| 15 | |
| 16 | |
| 17 | A Secret Service agent, former Marine, and recovering alcoholic. Lattimer gets 'vibes' that tells him when something strange or bad is about to happen; one of these vibes warned him of his father's death when he was a child, something he has grappled wtih ever since. He's reassigned to Warehouse 13 after witnessing Artie neutralize the Aztec Bloodstone, which nobody believes actually happened. While seemingly less mature than his partner, he is still a highly competent agent. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * AgentMulder: To Myka's Agent Scully, though he's far more relaxed than the namesake. It has been said that he is the intuitive side of his partnership with Myka. |
| 21 | ** Reversed in "Past Imperfect," where Myka is the emotional, impulsive one while Pete is the methodical, logical one. Justified, as in this case Myka is investigating something personal, and Pete realizes he needs to pick up the slack. |
| 22 | ---> '''Myka:''' Pete, what are you doing?\ |
| 23 | '''Pete:''' Well, I'm thinking like Myka. When something doesn't make sense, Myka tries to make sense of it. But not right now, because she's too emotional, which is where Pete usually is, emotional. Then I thought hey, while you're being me, I may as well be you. |
| 24 | * TheAlcoholic: Pete is a teetotal alcoholic, having been sober for several years at the beginning of the series. Tellingly, he shows clear signs of panic in "Merge With Caution" when Myka and he switch bodies when Myka was inebriated, fearing that this will cause him to suffer a relapse. |
| 25 | * TheAtoner: For his relationship-destroying alcoholism. [[spoiler:Turns out what actually made him stop drinking was even worse: his drunk driving cost his friend both legs.]] |
| 26 | * BerserkButton: Pete was clearly pissed off enough to want to kill the photographer with the Man Ray camera after what he did to Myka in the "Age Before Beauty" episode. It's probably safe to say messing with any member of his team will get you on Pete's bad side in short order, but hurting Myka in particular, very bad idea. It doesn't help that he mentions that the effects of this particular artifact (turning beautiful women into dying old ladies) disturbs him more than just about anything else he's seen. |
| 27 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Toward Claudia. Outright stated by him in "The Greatest Gift"; |
| 28 | --> '''Pete''': I'm like [[BigBrotherMentor your big brother]], Myka is like [[CoolBigSis your big sister]] and Artie is [[TeamDad so much like your dad it's kinda annoying.]] |
| 29 | * BigEater: Pete is perpetually hungry, and if he’s not seen eating something than he’ll probably bring up wanting to eat something. When he and Myka interrogate witnesses or suspects, it's not uncommon to see him raid those people's fridges in plain sight of everyone. It actually gets him affected by an artifact at one point. |
| 30 | --> '''Myka:''' You will eat anything, wont you? |
| 31 | * BookDumb: Mostly as a blatant excuse for other characters to make exposition dumps, he resolutely refuses to read the Warehouse training materials. |
| 32 | * CatchPhrase: Hey-''hey''-hey! |
| 33 | ** "I just got a really bad vibe." |
| 34 | %% * ChivalrousPervert |
| 35 | * {{Determinator}}: In "Second Chance", Pete is repeatedly punched by a boxer wielding the collective strength of the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, but refuses to back down, stating that if the boxer really intends to kill someone, he has to [[GoThroughMe go through him first]]. Also note that a side-effect of the enhanced strength inflicted whoever he hit with a rust disease, and each hit accelerated the condition. |
| 36 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: One had been implied for him before (mostly due to his past as TheAlcoholic and his divorce from his wife), but it wasn't really elaborated on until "What Matters Most," where it was revealed that [[spoiler: he crashed a car when he was drunk, breaking both of his friend's legs]] |
| 37 | * DistressedDude: Especially in the early seasons. It always seems to be Pete who makes the HeroicSacrifice, gets whammied by an artifact, or punched out by the bad guy. He straight up dies in 'Burnout'(briefly). |
| 38 | * TheGadfly: He likes to poke fun of Myka. |
| 39 | * HyperAwareness: His vibes. |
| 40 | * ISeeDeadPeople: In "We All Fall Down," Pete sees [[spoiler: the ghost of Lena]] who guides him to the information he needs to find [[spoiler: Evil!Artie]]. |
| 41 | * ManChild: As Myka and Artie frequently point out. |
| 42 | * MyGreatestFailure: The one time he [[RefusalOfTheCall refused to pay attention]] to his vibes was the night that his father died. Pete blames himself for this, since he knows he could have warned him, but by the time he realized how bad the vibe was, it was already too late. |
| 43 | ** He also regrets his alcoholism and self-destructiveness leading to the breakup of his marriage to Amanda and it's part in his friends death. |
| 44 | * OneOfTheKids: He's very immature most of the time. |
| 45 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Myka. |
| 46 | * PopCulturedBadass: In contrast to Myka's BadassBookworm. |
| 47 | * ReadingLips: As revealed in the episode "Claudia", he learned to read lips because he has a deaf sister. Proved to be useful when they used an artifact to show projections of past events. |
| 48 | * RecoveredAddict: Several episodes keep drawing attention to the fact that Pete is a recovering alcoholic by stating it in the recap opening, but they subvert it by making the characters simply think he has when the truth is far weirder. |
| 49 | * SadClown: Heavily implied that Pete hides a lot of his personal baggage behind a goofy sense of humour. |
| 50 | * SemperFi: He's a former Marine. |
| 51 | * SpiderSense: His "vibes". [[spoiler: "Shadows" reveals he inherited it from his mom.]] |
| 52 | %% * SweetTooth |
| 53 | * TheKirk: Possibly, though he usually seems more like TheMcCoy, but nevertheless invoked at certain times, when he signs off on the Farnsworth by saying, "Kirk out." |
| 54 | * TheTeetotaler: As a recovering alcoholic. |
| 55 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: Occasionally hints at having this with Myka, though their relationship is mostly LikeBrotherAndSister. |
| 56 | ** With his ex-wife Amanda, though she's now remarried. Despite this, they're AmicableExes and don't seem to hold any resentment. |

| 59 | [[folder:Myka Bering]] |
| 60 | |
| 61 | -->'''Played By:''' Creator/JoanneKelly |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/myka.jpg]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | A Secret Service agent with a no-nonsense attitude and a healty dose of skepticism. Her partner (both in the romantic and professional senses), Sam Martino, was killed while protecting the President before the series began, and Myka has been grieving him since. She's assigned to Warehouse 13 along with Pete; her father owned a bookstore, and her knowledge of classic literature, history and mythology has helped save her life, and countless others, on countless occasions. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ---- |
| 68 | * ActionGirl: She can take on four armed Marines while unarmed herself. |
| 69 | * AgentScully: To Pete's AgentMulder. She has a knack for detail and has been described as meticulous to Pete's intuitiveness. |
| 70 | --> '''Artie:''' This warehouse, well look, the warehouse needs you. Pete, don't touch! It needs your combined talents. He's intuitive and you've got a scrupulous eye for detail. He's scattershot, y'see, and you're meticulous. You look and he leaps. |
| 71 | * ArbitrarySkepticism: She's usually the first to point out how impossible whatever weirdness they encounter is, at which point Pete reminds her what they both do for a living. |
| 72 | * BadassBookworm: Highlighted in the season 3 premiere, where she saves at least four people using her knowledge of Shakespeare plays; three of which are rescued within ''seconds'' of each other. Note that she has to do the following to save the victims: look at the page, see the pose and the name of the play, recognize the character, then recite the character's last words, which the victim must say before the page burns out. And she does it every time in less than five seconds. |
| 73 | * BrainyBrunette: She's got a fairly extensive knowledge of classic literature and Shakespeare. She grew up in a bookstore. |
| 74 | %% * BrokenBird |
| 75 | * CoolBigSis: To Claudia. |
| 76 | * EmbarrassingMiddleName: Double subverted. In "Mild Mannered", Myka refuses to tell Pete what it is at first, and finally reveals it to be the rather nice-sounding Ophelia, in a hilarious conversation: |
| 77 | --> '''Myka:''' It's Ophelia, okay? Like from Hamlet. Yes, Ophelia, let the mocking commence.\ |
| 78 | '''Pete:''' Ophelia. That's kinda... beautiful. (''pause'') Can Ophelia boobies? Oh, snap! |
| 79 | * FailureKnight: She thinks so anyway, as of the season 2 finale. |
| 80 | * FriendlyEnemy: With Creator/HGWells, who started out trying to be the ''evil'' [[Franchise/StarWars Obi-Wan to her Luke Skywalker]]. It evolved into something akin to LoveRedeems. |
| 81 | * GenreSavvy: One of Myka's main areas of expertise as a Warehouse agent is her extensive knowledge of history, literature and languages, a result of her upbringing as a bookstore owner's daughter. |
| 82 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: In her first case back with the Warehouse just before she was let off of probation, she shot a one inch garbage disposal switch from twenty feet away. |
| 83 | ** Also, in the season 3 finale, Myka manages to shoot Cecil B. [=DeMille=]'s riding crop out of Sykes's hand with a Tesla. Note that in "Love Sick", Teslas have been described as hard to aim, due to them being unconventional ray guns. |
| 84 | ** In "Fractures", she disarms Alice - who is in a fireman's body - by shooting an axe she was holding. |
| 85 | * InSeriesNickname: Pete calls her 'Mykes'. |
| 86 | * MamaBear: At least, Pete thinks she would be in "No Pain, No Gain" when she subdues a stalker using a wish-fulfillment artifact [[spoiler:''[[ItMakesSenseInContext while pregnant]]''. Although, after the artifact is neutralized, her pregnancy is undone]]. |
| 87 | * MyGreatestFailure: The death of her partner/lover, [[spoiler:which, in "Past Imperfect", turns out to have been artifact-related]]. |
| 88 | * {{Omniglot}}: Myka understands and speaks a very wide range of languages, including Arabic, Portuguese, Greek, among others. To Myka's dismay, it ''still'' constantly surprises the team whenever she displays this knowledge. |
| 89 | * PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: It's been shown multiple times that Myka doesn't know much about pop culture, including thinking that "Stairway to Heaven" was written by The Rolling Stones, and mistaking Spider-Man for Batman. |
| 90 | * SheCleansUpNicely: While she's not bad looking to begin with, in "The Big Snag", she looks absolutely stunning when they go back to the Indigo Club and dress nice to blend in. |
| 91 | * TenMinuteRetirement: In the season 3 premiere. |
| 92 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: As of "Mild Mannered", she's a "Twizzlers gal", after one season of claiming to not eat sugar. Lampshaded by Leena in "Trials". |
| 93 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She has a mild phobia of tentacles, so of course she gets involved in a case about an artifact that once belonged to Creator/HPLovecraft. |
| 94 | [[/folder]] |
| 95 | |
| 96 | [[folder:Artie Nielsen]] |
| 97 | -->'''Played By:''' Creator/SaulRubinek |
| 98 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/artie_1.jpg]] |
| 99 | ---- |
| 100 | * AncientKeeper: Though Artie isn't really all that ''ancient'' (despite [[RunningGag Claudia's incessant teasing]]). And his job involves keeping the artifacts in the Warehouse, not giving them away. |
| 101 | * AmbiguouslyJewish: He isn't shown outright to be Jewish until the Christmas episode in the second season. |
| 102 | * BigOlEyebrows: Artie is remembered by Jinks as "the guy with the eyebrows". They are promptly exaggerated in Fargo's VR game in "Don't Hate the Player". |
| 103 | --> '''Pete''': Artie's gonna be deeply pissed. |
| 104 | ** In "Insatiable," when Artie can't get the boy to open up to him, Pete remarks that "maybe it's the eyebrows." |
| 105 | %% * BrokenBird |
| 106 | * TheChessmaster: Of a literal sort, as shown in "Elements". Artie has a chessboard he keeps outside his office and plays against himself for months between moves. Given how Claudia ignores his objections and makes a move half-way through the episode, and then at the end makes the first move of a re-set board, she's also on-board for having this be her role. |
| 107 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Artie likes to take care of the things in the Warehouse, not just store them. He has a near encyclopedic knowledge of every item. |
| 108 | * CoolOldGuy: It's frequently mentioned that Warehouse Agents have a tendency to die young whilst protecting the Warehouse. Artie has been working continuously (and occasionally by himself) at the Warehouse for over ''40 years''. [[spoiler: And he's only died ''once''.]] |
| 109 | * CrazyPrepared: His handbag always seems to contain the most useful artifacts or other objects to help him with almost every predicament he finds himself in. WordOfGod says that his bag is an artifact (Mary Poppin's Bag) seemingly with the ability to provide whatever is needed to its owner. |
| 110 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Before he came to the Warehouse he used to work as a [=NSA=] codebreaker, but he was was imprisoned trading secrets to the USSR. In truth he was trading "trinkets" to get his relatives back in Russia released from the Gulag. When he found out what those trinkets did (they were Artifacts) he turned himself in. Mrs. Frederic recruited him to give a chance to redeem himself and got his espionage charge dropped. He had to change his name though to protect himself from the Soviets. He makes it clear if the team ever got caught in Russia, the others would be yelled at and then home sent on plane, while he'd be locked up to rot. |
| 111 | * DeathSeeker: Pretty heavily implied in "The Big Snag", stemming from his [[spoiler: guilt over killing Leena under the influence of his EnemyWithin.]] He grows out of it, though. |
| 112 | * DrivesLikeCrazy: In "Beyond Our Control", Claudia marvels at how he got his license. Also serves as an inversion as it's usually the spunky younger character that drives like crazy and the conservative cautious older character that freaks out. |
| 113 | * EnemyWithin: In "The Ones You Love", it's revealed that [[spoiler: Artie is suffering a SplitPersonalityTakeover and ''is'' Brother Adrian.]] |
| 114 | * FailureKnight: [[spoiler: He thinks that he failed [=MacPherson=] back when they were still friends]]. |
| 115 | * GrumpyOldMan: Acts like this to keep the others in line and at arm's length. Nobody falls for it. |
| 116 | * ISeeDeadPeople: In "Mild Mannered", Artie sees visions of [=MacPherson=] after he is killed by H.G. Wells, which he suspects is a result of the Phoenix. |
| 117 | * MissionControl: He knows alot about artifacts and what makes them so Peter and Myka often contact him for info. |
| 118 | * ParentalSubstitute: For Claudia. |
| 119 | * PunnyName: Artie has a distinct attraction to ''arti''facts and knows more about them than most anyone else. |
| 120 | * ReadingTheEnemysMail: He used to be a codebreaker for the NSA during the Cold War. |
| 121 | * SecretKeeper: In the season 4 premiere, before he uses the [[ResetButton astrolabe]] to [[spoiler:save the Warehouse]], he is warned not to tell anyone of what he has done, lest he put that person "in grave danger." |
| 122 | * SplitPersonalityTakeover: As a result of [[spoiler: using the Astrolabe]]. |
| 123 | * TeamDad: Pete pretty much outright referred to him as much. Artie outright tries to be a father figure for Claudia in "Age Before Beauty", so he's cemented his place as TeamDad. |
| 124 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: With [=MacPhearson=] and Claire before he turned evil, though Artie laments that despite all the antagonism he really wanted James to be good again. |

| 127 | [[folder:Claudia Donovan]] |
| 128 | -->'''Played By:''' Creator/AllisonScagliotti |
| 129 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2ad0c01418a9a0f7aea7eccfb0f267a6.jpg]] |
| 130 | ---- |
| 131 | * ActingYourIntellectualAge: Lampshaded in a conversation with Artie regarding her plans after saving Joshua: |
| 132 | --> '''Artie:''' Shouldn't you be in college or something? Don't you wanna be with other people your own age?\ |
| 133 | '''Claudia:''' Artie, ''I'm not my own age.'' Come on; writing English papers and going to frat parties? ''Boring.'' |
| 134 | * AndThisIsFor: A bone-chilling version of it in the Season 3 finale. |
| 135 | -->'''Claudia:''' That was for [[spoiler:Steve]]. |
| 136 | * BadassBookworm: Just as much as Myka. |
| 137 | * BrokenBird: At first. She reverts to this in the season 3 finale after [[spoiler:she sees Steve's dead body, and eventually recovers after he's revived in "An Evil Within"]]. |
| 138 | * ButtMonkey: In season one, though doesn't completely leave this territory. Hell, Season 4 actually had several multi-episode plots that amounted to 'Claudia receives some form of physical pain', with varying levels of severity and comedy to the situation. |
| 139 | * CallingTheOldManOut: After [[spoiler: Steve]] is killed in the season 3 finale, Claudia calls the Regents [[spoiler: (particularly Jane)]] out for their cowardice and letting their agents take all the risk. |
| 140 | -->'''Claudia''': You know, I see you and the Regents for what you really are: cowards. [[spoiler: Steve]] was worth a thousand of you. |
| 141 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: People thought she was crazy when she started seeing "visions" of her brother. It turns out her brother really ''was'' there; just stuck in another dimension. |
| 142 | * DeadpanSnarker: Especially when she's around Artie, who snarks right back at her. |
| 143 | * TheDeterminator: When a friend or family member is in trouble she ''will not stop'' until she figures out a solution. |
| 144 | * GadgeteerGenius: Over the years she's helped Artie develop the systems of the Warehouse. |
| 145 | * GenkiGirl: When she's not being a DeadpanSnarker, she can be quite excitable. |
| 146 | * FakeGuestStar: In Season One, she's credited as a guest star despite appearing in every episode from episode four onwards. |
| 147 | * HarmfulToMinors: It's not as severe as other examples and she's an adult at this point, but Claudia's face at the end of "Emily Lake" is still this trope in SPADES. |
| 148 | * HeroicBSOD: Spends the end of Season 3 in one, [[spoiler: due to Steve's death]]. |
| 149 | * HollywoodHacking: She exhibits this on a regular basis, to the point of severely straining credibility for those in the audience who actually know how to use a computer themselves. |
| 150 | * InSeriesNickname: Steve refers to her as [[AffectionateNickname "Claud"]]. |
| 151 | * TheMole: The security footage at the Bronze Sector makes her appear to be this; later subverted as it turns out to be [[spoiler:Leena using a FullBodyDisguise artifact]]. |
| 152 | * NonconformistDyedHair: A hacker who grew up in a series of psychiatric institutions due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, Claudia has streaks in her hair and frequently changes the color, including blue, purple, green, white, and magenta. |
| 153 | * OlderThanSheLooks: In the series finale, after a fast-forward to several decades later, she looks the same age as she did before. Of course, she's the Caretaker, so she's [[TheAgeless just as ageless as Mrs Frederic was]]. |
| 154 | * TheOphelia: Claudia has spent time in mental institutions over what happened to her brother, and she occasionally falls back to a {{broken bird}} status. |
| 155 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Steve. |
| 156 | %% * PlayfulHacker |
| 157 | * {{Synchronization}}: Using the [[spoiler: metronome to revive Steve has linked them together. Any pain Steve should feel goes to her instead. Removed when they manage to separate him from the metronome.]] |
| 158 | * StealthHiBye: Picks this up by the time of the DistantFinale series finale, set "several decades" after the main series. Apparently being Caretaker comes with this as a perk. |
| 159 | %% * TeenGenius |
| 160 | * TotallyRadical: [[JustifiedTrope Justified.]] Claudia spent a large amount of her youth in mental institutions, not immersed in pop culture or socializing with her own age group, so most of her knowledge of pop culture is just what she gleaned from the internet and tv shows. |
| 161 | * WellDoneDaughterGirl: Claudia is starving for approval, particularly early on. She gets over this somewhat, later. |
| 162 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Her introduction has her kidnapping Artie to save her brother, who's trapped between dimensions due to his careless use of an artifact. In the season 3 finale, [[spoiler:when Steve dies, she keeps the metronome that was keeping Marcus alive, intent on using it to bring him back, and won't let anyone stop her]]. |
| 163 | ** When someone she cares about is in trouble, she has a tendency to completely ignore any warnings about the dangers she might be putting herself or others in. |

| 167 | -->'''Played By:''' Creator/AaronAshmore |
| 168 | |
| 169 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mv5botm2mduwnjy4of5bml5banbnxkftztcwnzk0ody4nq_v1_uy1200_cr8306301200_al.jpg]] |
| 170 | |
| 171 | * BackFromTheDead: Claudia [[spoiler: resurrects him using the metronome.]] |
| 172 | * BadLiar: In contrast to his ability to sense other people's lies, he's a terrible liar himself. |
| 173 | ** Though considering how [[spoiler: he was able to trick Walter Sykes and everyone else into thinking he'd gone double-agent, one has to wonder if he's just bad at on-the-spot lying.]] |
| 174 | * BigBrotherInstinct: In a big way towards Claudia. |
| 175 | --> '''Steve:''' Because I couldn't save [[spoiler: my sister]]. But I can protect you. |
| 176 | * ButNotTooGay: Steve's sexuality is mostly just referred to, and he's never seen with a boyfriend due to being CursedWithAwesome. That and because the Warehouse is in the ass end of nowhere. Played with though in "Runaway"; while his relationship with his ex is built on NoHuggingNoKissing until they [[spoiler:have an offscreen sexual encounter]] at the end, they do spend the episode dealing with realistic UnresolvedSexualTension the same way hetero couples in the show do and openly flirt when they finally talk about their issues (as well as prove to be a somewhat effective BattleCouple), all of which is still rare with gay couples in live action fiction. |
| 177 | ** Subverted in "Savage Seduction," where Steve is split into two versions of himself: one a KnightTemplar cop, the other an irresponsible and flirtatious CampGay. |
| 178 | * ButtMonkey: Not only does he quite frequently get whammied by artifacts, but he has a tendency to wind up in harmless, but hilarious, unfortunate situations- for instance, getting barfed on by the gooery, getting stranded up a ladder and forgotten about or bronzed by Pete and Myka when under the influence of an IntoxicationEnsues artifact. |
| 179 | * CursedWithAwesome: Jinks is a literal LivingLieDetector, but views his ability mostly as a hindrance to his love life. |
| 180 | * DeepCoverAgent: Apparently part of his expertise during his previous employment at the ATF. He becomes this [[spoiler: to infiltrate Walter Sykes's organization and learn his endgame.]] |
| 181 | * {{Determinator}}: Shown best when he has to motivate a despairing Claudia: |
| 182 | --> '''Claudia:''' Why bother if we just keep losing? |
| 183 | --> '''Steve:''' Because it's not the win, it's the fight. Evil is relentless. It always has been. You take one evil out and another pops up to replace it. [...] But if we stop fighting, if we give up, what does that say about us? |
| 184 | * FairCop: A male version. |
| 185 | * FakeDefector: He goes to [[spoiler: work for Walter Sykes after being fired from the Warehouse.]] |
| 186 | * GayBestFriend: Averted. Claudia makes jokes about this trope, but Steve's sexuality is only one aspect of his character and his friendship with Claudia is built on a foundation of genuine love and respect. |
| 187 | * InnocentBlueEyes: As the only blue-eyed member of the main cast, he fits both the naiveté and purity of heart aspects of this trope. |
| 188 | * InSeriesNickname: [[AffectionateNickname 'Jinksy']]. Also, [[EmbarrassingNickname 'Poopypants']] due to his tendency to be a bit more serious and follow the rules. |
| 189 | * LiteralSplitPersonality: In "Savage Seduction" he gets whammied by an artifact and splits into two people, one CampGay and one that's SeriousBusiness. |
| 190 | * LivingLieDetector: He can tell when someone is lying. |
| 191 | * LivingOnBorrowedTime: Thanks to [[spoiler: Johannes Maelzel's metronome. If it stops, he dies. He's freed from it in "Second Chance".]] |
| 192 | * TheMole: Turns out he was acting on orders from Mrs Frederic. |
| 193 | * NaiveNewcomer: Joins the more experienced Pete and Myka at the start of season three. |
| 194 | * NiceGuy: He especially bonds with Claudia. |
| 195 | * OddFriendship: Mrs Frederick seems to take a liking to him after [[spoiler: he comes back from the dead]], as he's the agent she talks to the most other than Artie. They even hang out during the final episode, sharing memories via the Round Table while the other agents sort out their issues. |
| 196 | * PermaStubble: In contrast to clean-shaven Pete and goatee-sporting Artie. |
| 197 | * PlatonicLifePartners: With Claudia. |
| 198 | * SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Despite being a main cast member since Season 3, Aaron Ashmore tends to get left off of the promotional material; he's not even on the Season 3 or 4 DVD cases. Whenever he ''is'' included, it's always the same picture of him crudely photoshopped into a pre-existing cast photo. It seems to extend from the fact he started off as a FakeGuestStar. |
| 199 | * StraightGay: His sexuality is more or less incidental to his character. His Buddhist faith is usually more noteworthy to his character. |
| 200 | ** One episode lets us see what Jinks would be like as a CampGay. It is [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]]. |
| 201 | * {{Synchronization}}: The downside of [[spoiler:the metronome, other than the obvious problem of stopping it. It brought him back to life, but now Claudia, who activated it, feels the pain he would. Once free from the metronome, the effect is removed.]] |
| 202 | * TheSpock: Possibly, but invoked by Pete in the Season 3 premiere, when he signs off the Farnsworth with "Kirk, out. Oh, and Spock, too." Steve, for his part, plays along with a Vulcan hand-gesture. He references the joke on another occasion, referring to himself and Claudia as Spock and Uhura. |
| 203 | * WalkingSpoiler: If you haven't watched through the third season, do not uncover any of the spoilers in this section. If you already have, make sure you've made it through the second episode of season 4 before uncovering the rest. |
| 204 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Sykes kills him when he's not needed anymore.]] |

| 213 | * AffablyEvil: He remains ridiculously polite and well-mannered, even when placing people in mortal danger. |
| 214 | * BigBad: Of season one [[spoiler:and "The Greatest Gift," the third season's Christmas episode]]. |
| 215 | * BigBadFriend: He used to be Artie's partner when Artie was a field agent. |
| 216 | * TheChessmaster: Just as smart as Artie so he's always one step ahead. |
| 217 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: To an extent, [=MacPherson=] is this in Season 2. He was the BigBad of the first season and seemed set up to continue being so, only for [[spoiler: H.G. Wells to kill him]] one episode into the season. |
| 218 | * EvilBrit: He's British. He's evil. |
| 219 | * EvilCounterpart: To Artie. All of Artie's knowledge, if not more, with none of his morality, and with a dose of [[MagnificentBastard magnificence]]. |
| 220 | * FallenHero: Used to be a Warehouse agent. |
| 221 | * FriendlyEnemy: He's AffablyEvil. |
| 222 | * HumanPopsicle: Artie bronzes him after he gets caught... until his accomplice de-bronzes him just a few minutes later. |
| 223 | * IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Telling Wells that his necklace keeps him alive. It allows her to kill him.]] |
| 224 | * KilledOffForReal: By [[spoiler:H.G. Wells]]. |
| 225 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: His StartOfDarkness began when he used an artifact to save the woman he loved. Unfortunately its use killed several other people in exchange. |
| 226 | * ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Averted, using the Phoenix to save his wife's live was ''not'' a good thing. |

| 233 | %% * AdventurerArchaeologist |
| 234 | * AffablyEvil: So much so that, past her introduction episode in Season 2, you'd have a hard time believing she ever was evil until the finale. [[spoiler: As of Season 3, she's quite firmly on the side of the angels]] . |
| 235 | * AndIMustScream: She was turned into a bronze statue, but aware for over ''100 years''. She seems to have come out of it fairly alright, and just used it to plan. |
| 236 | * AntiVillain: For most of her screentime. [[spoiler: She eventually pulls a HeelFaceTurn and a HeroicSacrifice]]. It's generally implied that HG isn't actually all that bad; it's just that losing her daughter did [[DespairEventHorizon very]] [[DrivenToVillainy bad]] [[FreakOut things]] to her, and as a result, she has a tendency to temporarily revert to TheDarkSide. |
| 237 | * TheAtoner: For Season Three. |
| 238 | * BadassBookworm: A villainous version of Myka and Claudia. |
| 239 | * BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Or rather, H.G. Wells was a female Warehouse agent. |
| 240 | ** This is a bit less farfetched in execution - the author history recorded was her brother (who had the same initials), but he was basically writing about ''her'' inventions for public viewing. |
| 241 | * BigBad: Of Season Two. |
| 242 | * BrainyBrunette: She's a GadgeteerGenius with dark hair. |
| 243 | * TheChessmaster: H.G. Wells' mentor Caturanga was a literal sort. The two of them played chess every day for years, and H.G. Wells (who was no slouch in this department herself) didn't win once. [[spoiler: Catarunga designed a lock for a back door to the Warehouse as a chess game. The game was set up with the player in check; if the player didn't win in 3 moves they were killed. Sykes kidnapped H.G. Wells assuming she could beat the lock, and she still couldn't. She then realized that Catarunga designed it so that the player ''had to cheat'' to win]]. |
| 244 | * CommutingOnABus: During Season 3, her consciousness was trapped inside a metal sphere as punishment, but when she was needed they could let her out again. As of Season 4, this is no longer the case, but she seems to have become much more freelance and so doesn't appear very often. |
| 245 | * DarkActionGirl: Drops the "dark" part after her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 246 | * DoesNotLikeMen: Somewhat justified, as she lived before women's rights existed. |
| 247 | ** Although flashbacks show she got on well with her male colleagues at Warehouse 12, likely because they valued and recognised her potential. Evidently it was only men like her brother, horndogs with little respect for women, that put her off men, while her initial anti-men comments were directed at Pete, who she seemed to think at the time as just the same. After that its severely downplayed. |
| 248 | * EvilAllAlong: Although she's [[spoiler:pretty much an AntiVillain WellIntentionedExtremist, and eventually goes back to being a good guy, culminating in a HeroicSacrifice]]. |
| 249 | * EvilBrit: She [[spoiler: gets over the Evil part though.]] |
| 250 | * EvilCounterpart: H.G. Wells can be considered this to Myka, even if her scientific leanings are closer to Claudia. She has Myka's ActionGirl tendencies, and Claudia's GadgeteerGenius smarts, but she does not share their good intentions. |
| 251 | * {{Expy}}: During the flashbacks to her time in Warehouse 12, she seems to be playing Sherlock Holmes: solving mysteries using a vast amount of knowledge on various sciences, deducing the answer long before actually revealing it, and going around with a plucky partner who, while competent in his own regard, is OvershadowedByAwesome. She claims at one point to have been friends with Sherlock's creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and even quotes him, possibly lampshading it. |
| 252 | * FallenHero: Like [=MacPherson=], she used to be a Warehouse agent. |
| 253 | * GadgeteerGenius: She invented an actual time machine. Unfortunately it only sends your consciousness into the past and you can't really do anything to change it, just observe. |
| 254 | * GrapplingHookPistol: A ''self-made'' one thank you very much. |
| 255 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Mostly in Season 2. |
| 256 | * HeelFaceTurn: In Season Three. And as of the Season 4 premiere, Artie is finally convinced. |
| 257 | * HeroicSacrifice: At least until [[spoiler:the Season 4 premiere, where it's averted.]] |
| 258 | * HiddenInPlainSight: In her first appearance in Season 2: Pete and Myka go to the home of HG Wells and apprehend a tour guide, who they believe to be the freshly de-bronzed Wells, returned to his old home to retrieve something he needs for his plan. As they start to drag the guy off, the observant viewer will catch a brief glimpse of Helena, standing in the middle of the crowd like just another curious tourist. |
| 259 | %%* HistoricalGenderFlip: Not only is the famous writer made female, but she is also a MadScientist who actually invented quite a few of the devices featured in the books, which were written by her brother. |
| 260 | * HumanPopsicle: When she was an agent for Warehouse 12, she voluntarily asked to be bronzed, hoping to wake up to a better world. In a flashback in "3...2...1", there is a brief glimpse of her as this. She remains in this state until [=MacPherson=] de-bronzes her in the Season 1 finale. |
| 261 | * IconicSequelCharacter: She doesn't make a proper debut until season 2 as the BigBad. However, she quickly became one of the show's most popular and iconic characters, forming a deep friendship with the lead female agent Myka Bering, redeeming herself, saving the lives of the main agents in the season 3 finale, and even being revived after dying to allow her to make more appearances in season 4 |
| 262 | * LadyOfAdventure: Highly prone to random acts of swashbuckling; at least before she became much more subdued, due to an unusual form of [[SoulJar incarceration]]. Also has a strong English accent, is commonly seen in period dress during her Victorian flashbacks, and still maintains a dignified bearing in present day clothing. |
| 263 | * LovableTraitor: She was almost an OmnicidalManiac, and makes lots of use of the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, yet no matter what she does, for some inexplicable reason, you just can't help wanting to forgive her. |
| 264 | * MaddenIntoMisanthropy: H.G. Wells developed this opinion of humanity, and sought to use the Minoan trident in the Season 2 finale to deal with it. She had herself bronzed with the hope that things would have gotten better, but she finds the future far more disappointing than she imagined. [[spoiler: She eventually gets better, at least in thinking that Pete, Myka, and Artie are worth saving in the Season 3 finale, prompting a HeroicSacrifice]]. |
| 265 | * MamaBear: When her daughter was murdered, she invented MentalTimeTravel to try and change the past. She failed, but put up a hell of a fight by her account. Claudia tells her that losing a daughter must be the worst pain imaginable. Wells tells her otherwise; what she did to the people who killed her daughter is the worst pain imaginable. Season 4 also shows her as such for her surrogate daughter as well. |
| 266 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Part of her backstory. During her time at the Warehouse, her daughter was murdered. Seeking some way to bring her back, she began combing the shelves for an Artifact that would do the trick. She ended up getting another agent killed, and so asked to be bronzed. Subverted in the Season 2 finale, when it's revealed that was [[ThePlan all part of the plan]]. |
| 267 | * NietzscheWannabe: Due to losing her daughter, she thinks the whole world deserves to die, and rants about how it's gotten worse since she was bronzed. |
| 268 | ** Of course, her real-life counterpart predicted among other things: tanks, a world war between Germany and England, and atomic bombs. Not to mention, in later work, became apparently disillusioned with the human race and the fate of mankind as a whole. |
| 269 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Via HumanPopsicle effect. |
| 270 | * OmnicidalManiac: As it turns out in the Season 2 finale, not quite omnicidal; she couldn't bring herself to kill Myka, which makes her give up on her plan to destroy the world. |
| 271 | * PutOnABus: Effectively this when [[spoiler: she's tasked with keeping the Astrolabe hidden until the threat of Adrian is taken care of. After that is dealt with and the astrolabe returned, she voluntarily distances herself from the Warehouse, hoping to try her hand at a normal life.]] |
| 272 | * ReallyGetsAround: At least during the late 1800's, while she was a Warehouse 12 agent. It was easier to name who she ''hadn't'' been with back then; namely, "Oscar Wilde; and not for lack of trying." |
| 273 | ** And that's just the men. Who knows how big the list of women she was with is. |
| 274 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Subverted; she sacrifices herself in the Season 3 finale to save the main characters but thanks to a ResetButton she's alive again at the end of the season 4 premiere. Artie is then convinced that she is redeemed, but the Regents aren't as sure]]. |
| 275 | * RetiredBadass: [[spoiler: As of Season 4; she officially retires from adventuring to become a crime lab scientist and settles down with a civilian and his daughter. She later divorces him and is living with a woman.]] |
| 276 | * SamusIsAGirl: H.G. Wells is female. |
| 277 | * SteamPunk: Alot of her inventions go towards this. |
| 278 | * StrawFeminist: Slightly justified due to times she lived in. |
| 279 | * SweetPollyOliver: In this case, the man known as H.G. Wells is actually her brother, used as a proxy since she wouldn't be accepted as a scientist in her time. |
| 280 | * TragicKeepsake: She went back to the Warehouse and broke into the Escher Vault just to steal back her locket, compact, and ring. The locket is revealed to be an ordinary locket, containing a picture of her daughter. The significance of the ring and compact have not yet been revealed. |
| 281 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: When she's not being an AntiVillain, AntiHero, or just plain regular hero |

| 292 | * EvilCripple: He's a paraplegic, so he's in a wheelchair. |
| 293 | * EvilIsPetty: He tortures and kills dozens of people and destroys the Warehouse because when he was a kid Jane took Collodi's bracelet from him. Though the bracelet is the cause of his evil in the first place. |
| 294 | * EvilPlan: His plan to destroy the Warehouse. [[spoiler: It works almost flawlessly, the Warehouse is destroyed and H.G. and Mrs. Frederic are killed off (add Jinks to the list and he's the only villain thus far who's managed to kill ''three'' major characters); but Jane, Artie, Myka, and Pete are still alive]]. |
| 295 | %% * FromNobodyToNightmare |

| 297 | * PortalCut: Not [[spoiler:as gory as the usual variety. Only his hand makes it through the portal, and disintegrates as the rest of him is trapped "between" spaces as it closes. Conveniently, Collodi's bracelet does not disintegrate with him]]. |
| 298 | ** [[spoiler:Subverted in the season 4 premiere, where Artie hits the ResetButton and he is instead pulled out from the other side by Pete, suffering a fatal concussion in the struggle]]. |
| 299 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: In the season 4 premiere, after [[spoiler:Gandhi's cloak is used on him, he apologizes for his actions and immediately dies afterwards]]. |
| 300 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: The reason for his obsession with hunting down the Regents and destroying the Warehouse. |
| 301 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: He's an asshole, but it all started because he was in a wheelchair and he got a bracelet that let him walk again...and turned him evil. Then Jane took his bracelet away, meaning he couldn't walk anymore...but he was still evil. |
| 302 | * YouHaveFailedMe[=/=]YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness: He does this to the rest of his Mooks. |

| 328 | * BigBad: For the first half of season 4. |
| 329 | * ChurchMilitant: Works for the Black Diamond Brotherhood, a secret order of the Vatican dedicated to protecting Ferdinand Magellan's astrolabe. |
| 330 | * EnemyWithin: The Brother Adrian of the new timeline never really existed. He's a manifestation of Artie's subconscious, the evil of the astrolabe given form. The most evil thing Artie could do would be to reverse the effect and create a world without hope, so that is what it drives him to do. |
| 331 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Gets on Artie's case for supposedly releasing some kind of evil, only to release highly dangerous artifacts which he stole from the Warehouse. [[spoiler:In particular, he unleashes Alice Liddell, a {{Body Surf}}ing psychopath, to take out Artie's loved ones, with no apparent means of controlling her, care for what she'll do after that (not that it would matter; if Artie played ball, it would never have happened), or even any guarantee that she'll honor the agreement (which she ultimately did not)]]. |
| 332 | ** Averted as it turns out it was really [[spoiler:Artie all along.]] |
| 333 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: In the season 4 premiere, he manages to hit a button the size of a nickel with a thrown knife from across the room. He didn't even need any setup time. |
| 334 | * KnightTemplar: As he tells Artie, "We follow no rules. We do whatever needs to be done." |
| 335 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: Shows a rather scary side at the end of "There's Always a Downside." In the season 4 premiere, he managed to wrestle Pete, a trained federal agent, into a MutualKill (which, thankfully, Artie averts by using the astrolabe). |
| 336 | * {{Protectorate}}: Of the astrolabe. |
| 337 | * RevengeByProxy: His ''modus operandi''. Artie used the astrolabe, so he targets Artie's loved ones to get him to use it again to put the timeline back to what it was. While this is technically necessary (he can't very well kill Artie), it becomes this in full when he starts targeting the families of the agents. |
| 338 | * SinisterMinister: Not a minister technically, but definitely dresses the part. |
| 339 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In the original timeline, his last words to Artie where that he could never anyone that he used the Astrolabe lest he put them in danger. This cases a lot of pain for the characters in Season 4. |
| 340 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: At least from his own point-of-view. He has no qualms regarding using artifacts against Artie to get him to return to the pre-ResetButton timeline. |
| 341 | ** Subverted: [[spoiler: Whatever the real Adrian's view on the subject, the one trying to get Artie to unreset is actually a figment of Artie's imagination created by the Astrolabe.]] |

| 387 | * MysteriousEmployer: She is this at first. |
| 388 | * NoImmortalInertia: The moment the Warehouse [[spoiler:explodes, she collapses, dies, and decays very rapidly. Reversed later in the season 4 premiere after Artie hits the ResetButton]] This can be justified by the fact that [[spoiler:her life force is tied to the Warehouse]]. Also, it would appear that this only happens if something bad happens to the Warehouse. [[spoiler: In the season four finale, she's purposefully disconnected from the Warehouse (which almost definitely is what makes her immortal), and she doesn't seem any worse for the wear.]] |
| 389 | * NoodleIncident: In the series finale when she's recording her most defining moment as a Warehouse agent. We don't actually see it, but it seems to have been some sort of big historical event, as Steve comments, "Really? You were there for that?" |
| 390 | * OddFriendship: She develops a rather friendly dynamic with Steve, and by the end of the show he is the agent she talks to the most. She even uses the Round Table to show him all sorts of memories of her time with the Warehouse. |
| 391 | * TheOmniscient: Has a tendency to suddenly materialise when she is being spoken about, and always seems to know virtually everything about what other characters are doing. This, combined with her ability to [[StealthHiBye appear and disappear]] randomly, her intermittent amorality (or at least ruthlessness) and her use of a very terse form of SpockSpeak, is the reason why she is able to scare the crap out of most of the other characters. |
| 392 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Since she's the Caretaker of Warehouse 13, as long as it stands she'll stay alive, at least until a new Caretaker is selected. |
| 393 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In season 4, when Steve notices that she is physically walking away instead of doing her usually StealthHiBye, he realizes that something is seriously wrong. |
| 394 | * PassingTheTorch: Though not yet, she's clearly decided that Claudia is going to replace her sooner or later, and events in season 4 convince her to step up preparations for that. |
| 395 | ** By the last scene of season 5, [[spoiler: the torch has been passed.]] |
| 396 | * TheQuietOne: She speaks, but only when necessary. Most of the time she just gives people a rather spocky version of the DeathGlare. |
| 397 | ** Season 4 sees her with a more talkative role, usually with Jinks. [[spoiler: Whether this is guilty over Steve's death, responsibility/shared burden of his double agency, something else, or just coincidence is an exercise for the reader.]] |
| 398 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Mrs. Frederic is bonded to the Warehouse and if it dies, she dies. Confirmed in "No Pain, No Gain" when Claudia meets her older-looking grandson. "Cangku Shisi" establishes that she became Caretaker in 1898, which given her appearance would probably make her somewhere around 150 years old. |
| 399 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite her stern and scary nature, she does value the input of her Agents and is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt in certain situations. |
| 400 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: When Mrs Frederic goes to war, she doesn't adhere to the Geneva Conventions. Although it is never stated outright, she demonstrates that in her mind, she only really has one rule; what she wants, she gets. Given that she is a Regent, it is also implied that she justifies this internally with the belief that [[IDidWhatIHadToDo the ends justify the means]]. |
| 401 | * StealthHiBye: Her name is frequently used as a verb for the StealthHiBye. |
| 402 | --> '''Claudia:''' Did you just Mrs. Frederic me? |
| 403 | * TheStoic: She generally doesn't like displays of human emotion directed towards her, even if they are positive; which is another element of her alien demeanour. |

| 442 | * HeroAntagonist: To a mild degree. |
| 443 | %% * HeroicSacrifice |
| 444 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be a massive hardass, but he ultimately only wants to protect the Warehouse, even being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure and not holding Pete's actions while under the effects of an Artifact against him. [[spoiler:He ultimately willingly performs a HeroicSacrifice to allow the others to get inside Warehouse 2, saying he's just doing his job as a Regent.]] |

| 465 | * DaChief: He's introduced as the head of the Regents. |
| 466 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: |
| 467 | ** When Pete inadvertently comes close to blowing the Warehouse's cover by arousing a doctor's suspicions, he gives Pete a chance to choose the best option of dealing with the problem, letting his vibes inform his judgment. |
| 468 | ** When Jane [[spoiler: goes rogue and allows Claudia to resurrect Jinks, he is stern but realistic in his response and ultimately allows the artifact to continue to be used to keep Steve alive and other than instituting supervisory precautions on the situation seemingly doesn't punish any of the Agents or Jane in any way.]] |

She runs the inn and provides a sounding board for Artie when needed. The one thing Leena did that she can't is determine an artifact's origin. |
