Main Characters
Audrey Parker
Audrey Prudence Parker
Played by: Emily Rose
An FBI agent with an eye for the supernatural who arrives at the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. After seeing an old picture in a newspaper of a woman who may be her mother and discovering that she has a knack for cases involving the Troubles, she decides to stay for a while to try and learn more about her past and help the Troubled. She later resigns from the FBI to remain permanently with the Haven PD.
Audrey eventually discovers that her identity is a fake, and that she has been aiding Haven as countless different personalities throughout the centuries. Her original personality, Mara, helped create the Troubles.
In general
- The Ageless: It would seem she cannot die of natural causes, though she certainly can be killed.
- Anti-Magic: She's immune to the Troubles. Duke's reactivated platter of Troubles, however, can affect her.
- Fake Memories: Each time she comes to Haven, she is implanted with the memories of a random person. Audrey, Lucy, and Sarah are only the latest.
- Friendless Background: The overlays tend to be this way. Both Sarah and Audrey claim Nathan as their First Friend, for instance. It's never explained why, but it does mean the overlays do not have people looking for them nor do they miss anyone and seek out friends and family, which would ruin The Masquerade.
- Identity Absorption: All of Mara's Fake Memories are taken from real people, to the point that they behave almost identically.
- Identity Amnesia: Each personality cannot remember the former ones, though Audrey does manage to get bits and pieces of Lucy. Contact with William allows Mara to surface over the implanted personalities, and she can remember the combined details of all of them.
- Literal Split Personality: Thanks to Duke releasing a Trouble which brings forth past lives, Audrey is split from Mara.
- The Power of Love: It's literally the power source for her Anti-Magic, which is amplified by The Barn to shut down the Troubles while she's gone.
- The Power of the Void: Her ability to grant Troubles is powered by Aether, the element which holds everything together.
- Sadistic Choice: Haven gets 27 years of peace from the Troubles and one year of Mara's new identity dealing with the Troubles. At the end of that year, the Hunter meteor storm signals it's time to get back in the barn. Refusal means the town is destroyed by meteors and the Troubles keep kicking. Alternatively, killing the one she loves will end them permanently.
- Split-Personality Merge: After the Literal Split Personality event, Mara's mother recombines Audrey and Mara, except she leaves Audrey in control instead of making Mara the dominant personality.
- Super-Empowering: Since Mara, the original personality, created the Troubles, she can also give people new ones or modify existing ones. And so can the overlays; William forces Audrey to Trouble someone at the end of season 4 in the hopes it would cause Amnesiac Resonance and bring Mara out.
Tropes specific to Audrey
- Amnesiac Lover: In season 4, while pretending to be Lexie, Audrey has to maintain that she doesn't know Nathan at all. Played straight with her and William, as her original personality Mara loved him but Audrey's the one in control and has no memory of him.
- Brought Down to Normal: After Mara is hit with Duke's Literal Split Personality Trouble and Audrey is split off, Audrey loses her immunity to the Troubles for a while.
- Clone Degeneration: Her body has been gradually breaking down since her separation from Mara, and now she's showing signs of real physical illness.
- Fighting from the Inside: Nathan believes that the reason Mara doesn't finish him or Dwight off when she has the chance in the season 5 premiere is because Audrey's personality still exists somewhere inside Mara and is holding her back from actually killing any of Audrey's allies. He eventually manages to get through to her, but Mara figures it out and redoubles her efforts to make sure Audrey stays buried.
- Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's good-natured and morally upstanding, which is fitting for her role as The Hero for the Troubles. She's also the blonde in the Blonde, Brunette, Redhead trinity that comprises her, Lucy, and Sarah.
- The Heart: She has a very strong sense of empathy and is the only reason Nathan and Duke manage to work together.
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Nathan believes Audrey is still alive within Mara after the latter takes over. She's able to resurface for brief intervals, but Mara quickly takes control.
- Plucky Girl: You can knock her down but she will get back up again and keep fighting the Troubles - even if she's dying.
- Screw Destiny: Audrey is supposed to enter the magic barn and disappear for 27 years, talking the Troubles with her. She isn't exactly keen on doing so - until she learns the stakes. Nathan ends up throwing a wrench in things on her behalf.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Pretty much Audrey's response in any given situation. She might be a cop, but she's there to protect the people - not uphold the law. This causes her and Nathan some trouble in season two because covering up the Troubles causes conflict with the Trouble-hating side of Haven.
- She Cleans Up Nicely: In "Consumed," with help from the Teagues, she dresses up for a dinner at a suspected Troubled chef's restaurant. The Teagues come through again in "As You Were," gifting her a nice dress and shoes for her birthday party. In season 5, a Dream Weaver sets his sites on her, leading to a Dream Sequence in which she prepares for her wedding to him, complete with fairy-tale wedding gown and tiara.
Tropes specific to Mara
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: William isn't exactly the nicest guy, and she does seem to genuinely like Duke, even admitting that under different circumstances they'd have made a good team. The situation being what it is, though, she instead betrays him and messes with his Trouble to get what she wants.
- And I Must Scream: Mara was conscious for the entire time her new personalities were running around trying to fix the Troubles, unable to act against them.
- Apple of Discord: She singles out Duke for this, trying to convince him that his friends view him as the expendable one if things go really bad.
- Birds of a Feather: She tells Duke that they are this, word for word, as the woman who creates Troubles and the man who removes them. Duke isn't convinced, at least at first.
- Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Invoked by her. As long as she possesses some form of value to Duke and Nathan, they won't kill her or give her to the Guard since they'd probably kill her.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The only person she cares about is her lover and partner in crime William, though Nathan insinuates she's just using him for her own ends. She doesn't take the accusation well. She later admits she has a family.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: She genuinely doesn't seem to understand why the Doohan brothers would reconcile rather than just try to kill each other. It just annoys her more than anything else.
- Evil Is Petty: She demonstrates some extremely childish behavior while Nathan has her locked up, tossing out insults and breaking things just for the hell of it.
- Freudian Excuse: "Chosen" reveals that her entire endeavor is a misguided attempt to revive her dead father.
- The Gadfly: Since she's held prisoner for most of her time as Big Bad, she ends up having to amuse herself any way she can, like annoying the hell out of Duke and Nathan.
- Hannibal Lecture: When she's captured by the heroes, she gives these non-stop, and really knows how to get under everyone's skin. For example, she mocks Dwight about the death of his daughter, knowing he'll be absolutely enraged but unable to kill her because they still need her.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: Mara and William helped create the Troubles. As punishment, William was sealed away and Mara was condemned to help fix the Troubles by instilling her with Fake Memories and leaving her to clean up the mess. Undone in the season 4 finale, where Mara takes complete control. Done again in "Chosen", where her mother merges her and Audrey with Audrey as the dominant personality.
- Hidden Agenda Villain: It's not clear why she made the Troubles, though it's hinted she has reasons beyond It Amused Me.
- Hyde Plays Jekyll: One of her favourite tactics.
- She manages to fool Nathan in the season 5 premiere, allowing her to get close enough to cuff him and grab his gun.
- She also uses Audrey's position to get regular townsfolk to go along with her demands, at least until she loses her patience.
- When she figures out that they're trying to cause Audrey to resurface, she tries to isolate Duke and pull the same trick, but Duke catches on when she tries to make more of their past kiss than was really there.
- I Lied: Nathan tries to make a deal to get rid of her, but she goes back on her word as soon as she gets what she wants. As she puts it, wouldn't you consider a deal with a weed worth breaking?
- Lack of Empathy: She sees people as tools to further her own agenda, outright comparing the Troubles to a gun when Nathan asks why she made them.
- Monster Progenitor: All Troubles originate from her and William.
- Laughably Evil: Mara gets in a few hilarious insults to annoy Duke and Nathan.
- Not So Invincible After All: Despite her general superior attitude and immunity to the Troubles, Nathan points out that she bleeds like a normal human and can probably die like one. Duke and Nathan also realize that Duke's reactivated Troubles can affect her, unlike normal ones.
- Pitiful Worms: She declares humans are like insects to her.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: She has no problem showing off her body to either Nathan or Duke, and considers sex to be "recreation". Of course, she is trying to manipulate Duke, so it's as much that as it is not caring one way or the other.
- True Sight: Like Jennifer, Mara can perceive things that are invisible to normal humans.
- The Unfettered: There's pretty much no length she won't go to. Thanks to Duke splitting Audrey from her, she actually gets even worse, as Audrey's goodness is no longer holding her back.
- Villains Never Lie: While Mara isn't necessarily forthcoming, she nevertheless gives honest answers when she actually decides to humor someone. When Nathan accuses of her of lying about Jennifer's power, Mara bluntly tells him that it would serve no purpose to mislead him.
- Walking Spoiler: There's not a lot about her that isn't going to spoil something.
- You Will Be Spared: After using Vickie's power to tear a hole between worlds, she promises that Vickie will be spared. The moment is deflated when the tear seals right back up before she can use it.
Tropes specific to other personalities
- Absurdly Youthful Mother: James calls Lucy "Mom", though they appear to be physically very similar in age.
- Ambiguously Bi: Mara implies that Veronica "swung both ways."
- Hard-Drinking Party Girl: Lexie, whose response to being told her reality isn't real is to start downing tequila.
- Hospital Hottie: Sarah, a combat nurse who moves to Haven following a veteran she was treating in DC. She talks to Nathan about her experience in a warzone; the timing implies it was probably the Korean War.
- Love Transcends Space Time: All of the overlays Nathan meets are drawn to him. Lucy even tells him so even though she's the overlay he had the least contact with. Ironically, Mara can't stand him. This trope is what inspires the idea to do...
- Reincarnation Romance: Invoked for Paige. Audrey chose to come back specifically as someone Nathan could fall in love with all over again.
Nathan Wuornos
Nathan Thaddeus Wuornos
Played by: Lucas Bryant
A Haven PD officer and the son of Chief Wuornos, he quickly becomes Audrey's police partner and friend. In season 2, he becomes the Chief of Police after his father's death.
- Adoptive Name Change: Born Nathan Hansen, he was adopted by the Chief, who also gave him an Embarrassing Middle Name.
- Aesop Amnesia: Nathan constantly forgets that Duke is not a bad guy anymore and keeps blaming Duke for everything that goes wrong. In season 3, he keeps assuming Duke is going to be a killer. He finally tones it down in season 4.
- Agent Scully: He makes some half-hearted efforts in this direction early on, as he'd really like to be living in a rational world.
- Always Save the Girl: He refuses to let Audrey sacrifice herself for the sake of the town
- Beard of Sorrow: Sported one in the season 4 premiere due to Duke and Audrey being missing for six months and him living life on the run. He shaves it when Duke returns alive.
- Blatant Lies: In "Closer to Home", using information from Charlotte, Nathan tells William that Mara is still alive to convince him to help find the ruins of the barn.
- Calling Parents by Their Name: Refers to his father almost exclusively as "the Chief."
- Can't Have Sex, Ever: Technically, he could, but unless it was with someone like Audrey, he wouldn't enjoy it because he can't feel. An early episode revealed that this makes him worry that he can't... ahem... "make it happen."
- Cuteness Proximity: Nathan changes completely when he is around babies. So much so that it disturbs Audrey and she forces him to give the baby back so they can get back to work.
- Death Seeker: In season 4, Nathan wants Audrey to kill him to end the Troubles forever. It's his way of atoning for destroying the Barn at the end of season 3 and perpetuating the Troubles.
- The Determinator: His inability to feel means it can take quite a lot to put him down. In most cases, he actually has to be dead before he stops.
- Disability Immunity: He and Jordan connect because his Feel No Pain Trouble is resistant to her Agony Beam Trouble. In-universe, he also has this mindset, which requires reminders from Audrey and Duke on occasion that just because he can't feel what's injuring him doesn't mean he's not injured.
- Disability Superpower: It's left unclear to what extent Nathan is simply paying more attention to his remaining senses, but the narrative does establish at a couple of points that he has an unusually acute sense of smell, at the very least, and his other senses may be boosted too. He can also power through wounds and environmental conditions that would stop normal men, at least within reason (better at withstanding cold, for instance).
- Feel No Pain: He cannot feel pain, heat, cold, or any touch other than Audrey's.
- Guile Hero: If he can't get what he wants another way - especially to protect Audrey - Nathan will manipulate and lie to get his opponents to do what he wants. For example:
- In Season Three, Nathan uses the fact that Jordan can't be touched by anyone else to get her to trust him and thus have an in with the Guard.
- In 5x21, "Close to Home", Nathan convinces William that Mara is still alive so he'll help out with finding the controller crystal.
- Happily Adopted: When it comes out that Max Hansen is his biological father and not Garland Wuornos, he continues to consider the Chief his real father. Which is heartwarming, considering the rather antagonistic relationship the two had.
- Healing Factor: Any injuries he takes seem to heal in a matter of hours, with no scars.
- I Can't Dance: He has the excuse that he can't feel his feet.
- Immunity Disability: The show makes it very clear that not being able to feel anything really, really sucks. From having his kitchen plastered in sticky notes reminding him the stove is hot and his knives are sharp to having to ask Audrey to check the temperature of his coffee so he doesn't burn himself, it's obvious this is something that affects every aspect of Nathan's life.
- Inadequate Inheritor: His father is trying to make him tougher so he'll be strong enough to handle the Troubles when he is gone. He doesn't exactly think he's inadequate, just not ready.
- Love Makes You Dumb: He has made some incredibly stupid decisions out of his love for Audrey. "Spotlight" is basically one long Lampshade Hanging of this.
- Made of Iron: Comes back to his inability to feel, again. Lacking the pain to tell him to stop, Nathan will just keep going.
- Mr. Fanservice: At one point, Mara tries to do the audience a favour and get Nathan to strip - because she likes looking at him, too.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nathan kills Howard to destory the Barn, freeing William.
- The Nose Knows: Nathan has a heightened sense of smell and can identify flowers by scent alone.
- The Quiet One: Nathan is noted for being taciturn even by Maine standards, and when he does speak he tends to use clipped sentences and as few words as possible.
- Screw Destiny: His reply when his father's ghost warns him that if he and Audrey fall in love, Audrey will die. He's also determined to stop Audrey from disappearing when the Hunter comes.
- Sense Loss Sadness: Nathan's learned to live with his Trouble, but sometimes—as in 1x03 "Harmony", when he gets hit with a Trouble that causes a complete lack of inhibitions—his desperation to feel anything comes to the surface. Concerningly, the sensation he goes for is usually pain, such as in "Harmony," when Audrey walks in on him trying to light his arm on fire, upset he can see the injury but can't feel the pain.
- Socially Awkward Hero: He's a great cop, but he's not so great in the dating world. Audrey teases him about his lack of game after she sets up a date for him because he missed several blatant signs a woman was trying to ask him out.
- The Stoic: Perhaps as part of his inability to feel physical stimulus, Nathan is often not outwardly emotional. Duke mentions that he was like that even as child.
- Sugar-and-Ice Personality: Nathan is notably not The Stoic when it comes to Audrey. And also babies.
- Supernaturally Young Parent: Thanks to time travel, Nathan was born about twenty years after his son, James.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: His relationship with Duke is... complicated, and at the start of the series they seem more firmly in the enemies camp, but over the course of the series we learn more about their friendship and it becomes pretty obvious that these two are more like two quarreling brothers than actual enemies.
- We Used to Be Friends: Nathan about Duke to Audrey. He and Duke seemed to have spent their childhood veering between friends and enemies. Nathan holds Duke directly responsible for activating his Trouble.
Duke Crocker
Duke Crocker
Played by: Eric Balfour, Jake Stern (teenager)
A local smuggler, amongst other things, who is often caught up in the investigations. Nathan dislikes and mistrusts him, and he's not too fond of Nathan either, but he becomes something of a friend to Audrey and is more often than not their ally.
- All Your Powers Combined: As a result of having his Trouble reactivated by Audrey, he now possesses the combined Troubles of everyone the Crockers have ever killed.
- Anti-Hero: As a smuggler, Duke doesn't always operate on the right side of the law, but when it comes right down to it, he's right there with the heroes trying to save people.
- Blood Magic: His powers work through blood. His Super-Strength kicks in when Troubled blood gets on him, and his De-power works if the person dies in the process.
- Brought Down to Normal: In "Lay Me Down", he kills Wade to defend Jennifer, causing his own Trouble to be nullified. Audrey ends up restoring it several episodes later to deal with a Brown Note Trouble.
- The Call Knows Where You Live: He doesn't even want to be a good guy, but he keeps getting put in situations where he has to do the right thing. In one episode, where he's finally resolved to leave Haven and all this hero crap behind, he walks right into someone in the midst of a Trouble meltdown. He sighs, rolls his eyes, says, "Can't I just leave?!" and tackles the man.
- The Casanova: He's very much a lady's man, particularly in the early seasons when he has a new date nearly every episode. He's quite the charmer and has no problem flirting his way out of trouble.
- Combo Platter Powers: His primary Trouble is to De-power other Troubled. He also gets Super-Strength if their blood touches him.
- Crazy-Prepared: His boat is full of secret passages and concealed weapons.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: He can't even meet his daughter Jean, because being near her will kill him.
- De-power: When he kills a Troubled person, anyone in their family line is cured of that Trouble. Season 4 reveals that he accomplishes this by taking their Trouble into himself and keeping it dormant.
- Everyone Has Standards: While lying, cheating, and law-breaking are all fair game, actual murder and betrayal are not.
- Fake Defector: At least twice—once with the Rev in season 2, and then with the Bolt Gun Killer in season 3. He's not only a good liar, but he knows just what to say to get the results he wants.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: When he falls under the influence of Troubled blood, he becomes extremely quick to violence, and has to work extremely hard to control himself in that state. His brother ended up becoming an addict because he couldn't control the urges.
- Heroic BSoD: He's utterly incapable of being able to deal with being Mara's Trouble bomb - to the point where he just leaves town, despite Nathan and Audrey trying to stop him.
- Heroic Sacrifice: He willingly lets himself be killed rather than allow Croatoan to continue using him.
- Houseboat Hero: Lives on his ship, affectionately named the Cape Rouge
- I Cannot Self-Terminate: The reason he asks Nathan to kill him. He's afraid to kill himself, because that might release the Troubles inside him.
- Important Haircut: He cuts his hair short after Jennifer's death.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Duke himself lampshades this, complaining that he has somehow become the guy everyone turns to for help even though he's technically a criminal.
- Kick the Dog: Just about everything he did to Nathan in backstory. We, the audience, might not like him as much if it were done onscreen. Despite this, he and Nathan do seem to have an odd friendship dating back to childhood. They went sledding together as kids, and when Nathan broke his arm Duke carried him to the hospital...and then went back to sledding.
- Ladykiller in Love: Usually The Casanova, even after after becoming part of a Love Triangle with Nathan and Audrey, he falls and falls hard in season 4 for Jennifer. This brings out a very soft and tender side of him not seen before this, and makes her death that much more devestating.
- Likes Older Women: When he's reacquainted with Vanessa, who used to babysit him as a child, he's mesmerized by her beauty and hits on her. The other characters comment on this a lot.
- Lovable Rogue: Duke is one charming smuggler.
- Mr. Fanservice: Has more than one shirtless scene which the audience has gobbled up.
- Parental Neglect: According to him, his usual conversation with his father went along the lines of being asked to go pick him up another six-pack.
- Phlebotinum Overload: After Audrey reactivates all the Troubles within him, they threaten to destroy him. He can only survive by allowing them to surface, relieving some of the pressure.
- Power Incontinence: All the Troubles his family has removed are actually still inside him and when Audrey reactivates his Trouble they start to come out..
- Screw Destiny: His attitude toward whatever people declare is his destiny.
- Sins of Our Fathers: A lot of people blame him for his father Simon's crimes. He was completely ignorant of them until the appropriately named episode "Sins of the Fathers".
- Super-Strength: His strength is temporarily boosted if the blood of a Troubled person is spilled on him.
- Tears of Blood: A side effect of his Phlebotinum Overload causes him to bleed from his eyes whenever he releases a Trouble.
- Venturous Smuggler: He's a self-described "business man," but his business is generally below-board and involves procurement or transport of contraband.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: His relationship with Nathan is... complicated, and at the start of the series they seem more firmly in the enemies camp, but over the course of the series we learn more about their friendship and it becomes pretty obvious that these two are almost more like two quarreling brothers, rather than simple enemies
- We Used to Be Friends: With Nathan. Exactly how that worked is never made clear, but they certainly weren't just two kids the same age.
- You Killed My Father: Lucy Ripley killed Simon Crocker. Unusually for this trope, Duke doesn't seem to want revenge on Audrey. And it happened the generation before, too, with Sarah Vernon killing Duke's grandfather.
Recurring Characters
Garland Wuornos
Garland Wuornos
The Chief of Police in Haven. He knows more than he is telling about Audrey's origins.
- Cigarette of Anxiety: Smokes when stressed, or failing that chomps down nicotine gum like it's going out of fashion.
- Da Chief: Until he dies at the end of season 1, and briefly during Audrey's time travel problems in season 3.
- Dishing Out Dirt: His Trouble causes localized earthquakes. It also turns him to stone when he tries to contain it.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Almost never gets called by his first name. Even Nathan calls him Chief.
- Father, I Don't Want to Fight: Garland has spent most of Nathan's life trying to "toughen him up" to be able to handle the Troubles on his own one day. He dislikes Nathan's more emotion-driven response and less heavy-handed style of policing, even though his own way of handling the Troubles is literally causing cracks in the town and eventually kills him.
- I Am Not Your Father: Has to tell Nathan he's adopted in "Spiral," which does not go over well...although Nathan just seems unhappy it was hidden from him, not that he's adopted.
- Power Incontinence: His Trouble activates in response to emotion, and he has a hard time keeping a lid on it, especially when Nathan's biological father returns to town.
- So Proud of You: Though it takes a while to admit it, and isn't exactly said in the best of circumstances.
- Taken for Granite: While trying to stop himself from triggering an earthquake, he turns into a statue and shatters.
Vince Teagues
Vince Teagues
Played by: Richard Donat, Jeff Irving (young)
Runs Haven's newspaper shop with his brother Dave. He knows more than he is telling about the Troubles and Audrey's origins.
- Big Brother Instinct: Vince takes his status as the older sibling very seriously and is protective of Dave as his younger brother, sometimes to his detriment in cases when his attention should be elsewhere.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: He puts on a good show, pretending to be a slightly vacant old man writing stories for the Haven Herald. But Vince is the leader of the Guard and a protector of the Troubled.
- Cryptic Background Reference: Exactly what happened with Max Hansen, anyway? (Direct relation to Retired Badass.)
- Dirty Old Man: Though him ogling Audrey may be justified as it is implied that he loved her back when she was Sarah.
- Full-Name Ultimatum: Often catches an irritated "Vincent..." from Dave when the latter finds him particularly overbearing.
- Magical Native American: He is of Mi'kmaq descent and his destiny is closely tied to Haven.
- The Man Behind the Man: He runs the Guard.
- My Greatest Failure: During the 1980's Troubles, he activated Simon Crocker's Trouble and had him eliminate Troubles, but Simon got Drunk on the Dark Side and became a monster. This mistake still haunts Vince to this day.
- Retired Badass: In a sense. He may not be out there fighting the fight, but he runs the Guard.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: Vince tends to espouse the "emotional" viewpoint to Dave's "logical" viewpoint—but he also tends to side with tradition as opposed to Dave's somewhat more egalitarian views.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Vince can hardly go a single conversation with Dave without it dissolving into bickering, but they are still each other's closest companion no matter what.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He believes Audrey needs to go into The Barn for the good of everyone, even though he isn't particularly pleased about it. He just doesn't see another option.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: His Trouble is to... make the circular maze symbol appear on his arm at will (seemingly). It ends up being useful in "When The Bough Breaks" by pointing at the Heart of Haven like a compass.
Dave Teagues
Dave Teagues
Runs Haven's newspaper shop with his brother Vince. He knows more than he is telling about the Troubles and Audrey's origins.
- Dirty Old Man: Though him ogling Audrey may be justified as it is implied that he loved her back when she was Sarah.
- Grand Theft Me: By Croatoan, who uses Dave's body to murder Troubled people, including the Colorado Kid.
- Half-Human Hybrid: According to Charlotte, Dave is a "halfling"—half human and half Charlotte's species.
- Happily Adopted: "When The Bough Breaks" reveals that he was adopted into the Teagues family, and is in fact not even from this world. He and Vince still consider each other brothers without question.
- My Greatest Failure: Dave is devastated to realise that, while possessed by Croatoan, he killed the Colorado Kid.
- Sibling Yin-Yang: In the brothers' constant arguments, Dave tends to espouse the "logical" or "rational" viewpoint to Vince's "emotional" viewpoint. Although he's by no means chatty about Haven's secrets, he is also usually the brother arguing for more open/free exchange of knowledge.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Dave can hardly go a single conversation with Vince without it dissolving into bickering, but they are still each other's closest companion no matter what.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He is firmly set against Audrey entering The Barn, believing that they're just treating the symptoms of the Troubles by using her instead of actually dealing with them.
Dwight Hendrickson
Dwight Hendrickson
Played by: Adam Copeland
A mysterious man formerly employed by Garland Wuornos. He works as a handyman in Haven, but joins the heroes in protecting Haven from the Troubles. In Season 4, he becomes the Chief of Police after Nathan steps down.
- Blessed with Suck: He's a bullet-magnet. He found this out when deployed in Afghanistan. He wears a bulletproof vest at all times to stay safe.
- Character Development: Over the course of seasons 2 and 3, Dwight becomes a little more outgoing and less of a Badass Bystander/The Atoner. His job in season 4 is not likely something he'd have done before running into Audrey and the gang, if only because of the constant danger it puts him in. Though at least it gives him an excuse to wear a vest and not get hassled by the police.
- Clean Up Crew: When he says he "cleans things up," he means he gets rid of the evidence of the Troubles. Though it sounds more mysterious than it actually is; Audrey remarks that when he looks like a viking, people will believe anything he says.
- Determinator: His response to being caught in a bear trap while carrying a little girl to safety? Pull the chain out of the ground and keep going.
- Hero of Another Story: He's been in Haven helping to deal with the Troubles for a long time before Nathan and Audrey meet him.
- Hopeless with Tech: In "Shot in the Dark", he mentions he knows nothing about computers and the Internet, so he gets others to handle it for him.
- In-Series Nickname: Duke calls him "Sasquatch".
- Locked Out of the Loop: He rivals Duke for being kept from knowing some of the bigger secrets, eventually even taking Duke's place. Mara mocks him for this. This leads to him leading a mutiny against Vince for control of the Guard, both out of annoyance for Vince constantly hiding things and because Vince is more focused on caring for his brother than running the Guard.
- My Greatest Failure: Is haunted by the memory of his dead daughter, Lizzie. While helping the wendigo sisters, the Teagues ask if he's doing it to try to atone for Lizzie's death. He angrily replies that he's doing it because it is the right thing to do.
- Parental Neglect: According to him, his father and Duke's father are pretty much the same. His father didn't even bother to warn him about his Trouble before he enlisted.
- The Straight and Arrow Path: Typically carries and wields a crossbow, which in this modern age nets a few stares from people and got him arrested once by a cop who wasn't in on The Masquerade. This is out of necessity, since his Trouble prevents him from using a gun. In season 4, he swaps it out for a taser.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Starts showing shades of this over the course of season 5, after taking over leadership of the Guard. When Haven is cut off from the rest of the world and overrun with new out-of-control Troubles, he and the Guard declare martial law and take over the town.
- What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Dwight's power is to attract bullets. This can be great during a firefight for those standing next to him but really sucks for him.
Characters Connected to Audrey's Past
Agent Howard
Agent Byron Howard
Played by: Maurice Dean Wint
Audrey's FBI superior, who reluctantly accepts her resignation when she decides to remain in Haven indefinitely. He also knows more about Haven than he seems. He is the caretaker of The Barn which takes Audrey away.
- Disappears into Light: When Nathan shoots him to prevent the Barn leaving, his body starts emitting rays of light, as does the Barn.
- The Needs of the Many: He is unconcerned with Audrey's desires to stay or with her hand-wringing about essentially dying once she heads into the Barn. He knows it needs to happen for the Troubles to end for another 27 years.
- Older Than They Look: He appears as a middle-aged man, but has been with the Barn since it was created 500 years ago; episodes like "Sarah" reveal he's been around for years.
- The Watcher: In "Thanks for the Memories," he describes himself as Audrey's "ride." He is there to drop her off at the appropriate time, and pick her up at the appropriate time. The show demonstrates he's a little more than that, since it's also his job to make sure the overlay stays in Haven to help the Troubled, but he's only ever seen a handful of times.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: He's replaced by William in season 4, as Nathan's actions unleash the Sealed Evil in a Can. it's never explained what happened to him, but Vince becomes the new caretaker at the end of season 5.
The Colorado Kid
James Cogan
- Played by: Steve Lund
In 1983, his unidentified dead body was found in Haven. The case was investigated by Garland Wuornos, who didn't really get anywhere and closed it. The mystery of his death and identity is one of the driving questions of the show. He is eventually revealed to be James Cogan, son of Audrey's past incarnation Sarah Vernon and a time-traveling Nathan. He was also the husband of Arla Cogan, the woman who became the Bolt Gun Killer.
- And Your Reward Is Infancy: James returns as a baby with another reincarnation of Audrey at the end of the series finale.
- Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Sarah had to go into the Barn and Nathan wasn't even aware he had a son.
- Establishing Character Moment: The first time we see James alive, he is helping Lucy with the Troubles - in much the same way that Nathan does/will with Audrey.
- Family Relationship Switcheroo: Audrey is told that Lucy loved the Colorado Kid, and is sure that means in love with him. She doesn't find out until season 3 that he's actually her son.
- Happily Adopted: Well, he's not unhappily adopted by the Coogans. He seeks out his birth mother and finds Lucy instead; he has a bond with her, but he doesn't appear to have any angst about being adopted.
- Half-Human Hybrid: His father is human; his mother is... whatever species they are.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: He only learns who his father is when Nathan introduces himself as such.
- Luke, You Are My Father: Sarah and Nathan were his parents, but Audrey and Nathan only find out late in Season 3.
- Older Than They Look: Because he was revived by the Barn, he looks exactly the same as he did in the 1980's.
- Posthumous Character: Subverted; Lucy Ripley resurrected him by putting his body in the Barn, but now his life is connected to it. He apparently cannot survive for very long outside it.
- Strong Family Resemblance: One of the first things Lucy does when she finds out Nathan is James' father is comment that they look alike. Certainly Lucas Bryant and Steve Lund share a physical resemblance.
- The Trope Kid: He was called the "Colorado Kid" because the only thing anybody could gather about his identity was that he was from Colorado. Although why a 27-year-old married man was referred to as a "kid" is anyone's guess and nobody questions it.
- The Unsolved Mystery: No one's quite sure what happened to him, until the Barn shows up and drops him off.
- Walking Spoiler: Pretty much everything about him is a spoiler.
The Bolt Gun Killer
Arla Cogan
- Played by: Laura Vandervoort (true form), various actors (disguises)
- Blessed with Suck: The reason she has to wear the skin of others is because she has no skin. It melted off when her Trouble activated.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": For good reason, since no one knows who she really is and she can change appearances like clothing.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Does not seem to understand why the others find killing people and skinning them abominable.
- Face Stealer: She's a skinwalker who can assume the appearance of others by skinning them and wearing their skin like a suit.
- Glamour Failure: Audrey tricks her into walking into the Barn, shutting off her Trouble and causing her stolen skin to become just a mask made of skin.
- Impostor Forgot One Detail: As Tommy Bowen, she isn't a trained cop, but this only works in hindsight.
- Improbable Weapon User: A bolt gun isn't exactly the most efficient murder weapon. What it does do is leave the skin mostly undamaged for later use.
- Never My Fault: When her husband rejects her for her murders, she angrily blames Audrey and tries to kill her, but James gets in the way and is stabbed instead. Arla blames Audrey for that too and tries to attack her again, only for Audrey to kill her instead.
- Older Than They Look: Since she can look like anyone, she can look as young or as old as she pleases. Even her primary form is merely an approximation of her appearance back when James disappeared.
- Required Secondary Powers: Her powers not only let her copy appearance, but every physical aspect of a person, even their voice, height, and muscle mass. Invokes a bit of
Fridge Logic when her composite mask is shown to heal into a seamless face when worn, making one wonder why she needs the bolt gun if her powers actively hide even major blemishes like that. - Samus Is a Girl: She is assumed to be male until the secret is revealed.
- Serial Killer: She's killing people so she can collect parts of them to reconstruct her old appearance.
- Something Only They Would Say: Has a distinctive "Hush" which alerts Audrey after hearing about it from someone who witnessed one murder.
- Start of Darkness: When the Colorado Kid was murdered, Lucy offered to take them both into the Barn so he would be revived and they could live together. Then Arla's Trouble kicked in and her skin melted off. She murdered a woman in desperation, not wanting to be seen skinless, but Lucy condemned the act and took the Colorado Kid by herself. Every act since was an attempt to get him back and reconstruct her old appearance.
- Walking Spoiler: Like her husband, much of what relates to her identity is a spoiler.
- Yandere: Towards the Colorado Kid.

Her husband's research led him to being banished and then to become the demon Croatoan and whose daughter is, well, Mara. She also tells Dwight that before meeting him she wasn't a good person.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: To Audrey once she realises she's been caught.
- Older Than They Look: She says she's about 1,100 Earth years old, and that Mara is 600-ish.
- Science Hero: She actually discovers a genetic origin for the Troubles, and starts working on a possible medical treatment for them.
- Walking Spoiler: She shows up halfway through Season 5, and a lot of her history turns out to be integral to the backstory of the show.
- Was It All a Lie?: Gets this from Dwight after The Reveal. There's every indication that her feelings for him are genuine, but Dwight's trust issues are quite justifiably massive, so he's still stewing about not being told the whole truth.

Others
Other Characters
Reverend Ed Driscoll
Played by: Stephen McHattie
A former drunk who turned to religion. The Reverend is extremely influential and does his best to spread his beliefs that the Troubled and those who sympathize with them are unholy abominations who must be destroyed in the name of God.
- Drowning My Sorrows: His drinking doesn't help his personality any. Most notable when his daughter takes the Troubled Bobby and leaves.
- The Fundamentalist: He thinks Haven would be a much better place if they could just get rid of all the 'cursed'.
- Holier Than Thou: Will do just about anything - up to and including murder - to get rid of the Troubled. And he sees nothing wrong with this - believing that those who are not Troubled are inherently better.
- Insistent Terminology: Refers to the Troubled as "The Cursed" or "sinners".
- Jerkass: Has no redeeing qualities whatsoever. He continuously refers to the Troubled as the 'cursed' and actively opposes the heroes when they're trying to save them. He's also responsible for driving away his wife, daughter and foster son. After his death, his ghost spends some time trying to get his followers to round up and kill the Troubled.
- Knight Templar: He grows increasingly worse as time passes, culminating in arranging hunting parties to track down Troubled people when he gets a good excuse to do it.
- Sinister Minister: He always has a fire and brimstone sermon at the ready and actively tries to get his followers to round up the Troubled and kill them.

Played by: Anne Caillon
A woman who Nathan briefly dates before she moves to Montreal.

- Deadpan Snarker: Has an incredibly dry wit, to the point it's sometimes difficult to tell at first if she's joking.
- Love Cannot Overcome: Despite her feelings for Nathan, she breaks up with him and moves away because she thinks The Troubles are too dangerous and freaky.
- Magical Native American: Subverted. She is of Mi'kmaq descent and many people fear her as a witch, but she is normal. She does nothing to discourage the rumors of her being a witch because it makes people leave her alone.
- Mighty Lumberjack: A female example, and somewhat downplayed. Jess runs her grandmother's 90-acre farm, hunts her own food, and her Establishing Character Moment is her chopping wood as Audrey and Nathan pull up to question her about a murder.
- Put on a Bus: She abruptly returns to Quebec after being attacked by a Trouble and does not return.

Chris Brody
Played by: Jason Priestley
A cynical marine biologist and baseball coach who briefly dates Audrey and joins the heroes before leaving.

- I Love You Because I Can't Control You: He falls in love with Audrey because she is immune to his Trouble and thus acts normally around him.

- Hates Everyone Equally: Except kids, because he doesn't consider them people. As in, they don't hassle him like adults do.
- Jerkass: Kind of his main character trait. He's even this way towards Audrey, the woman he's romantically interested in.
- No Eye in Magic: His Trouble doesn't affect people who don't look directly at him. However, it works over Skype and other media.
- Put on a Bus: After his overconfidence nearly gets everybody killed, he decides to break up with Audrey and leave town until he decides he has become a better person.

- Hollywood Psych: Her ideas on psychology are very much this, which isn't her fault so much as the writers'.
- Improbable Age: She's 28 and has been counseling the Troubled in Haven for at least a couple years. The writers were savvy enough to know a psychiatrist goes to medical school, but not savvy enough to know that psychiatrists complete multi-year residencies and fellowships just like any other MD. She should still be in her residency.
- Kill and Replace: She was killed and replaced by the Bolt Gun Killer.
- The Shrink
Tommy Bowen

- Can't Have Sex, Ever: Until she met Nathan.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Doesn't like Audrey hanging around Nathan. She wants Audrey to disappear, both so the Troubles will end and so she can have Nathan all for herself. Nathan breaks up with her once he learns the depths she's willing to sink (kidnapping a little girl) to achieve this.
