Line #203 Characters/LesRevenants


1	This page lists all the characters of the television series ''{{Series/Les Revenants}}'' and the various tropes applied to them. Beware, there '''WILL''' be '''SPOILERS BOTH MAJOR AND MINOR'''.

6	!!The Returned
7
8	[[folder:In General]]
9
10	A group of men and women who died several years ago and are mysteriously BackFromTheDead.
11
12	* AmbiguouslyEvil: No one knows exactly ''why'' they came back or if they have a precise goal, and they all show some hidden violent side :
13	** Camille looks like a harmless lost teen, but why did she trash Léna's room and then denied it ? Also, [[spoiler: what was that dead animal in the bin]] ?
14	** Simon can be scarily impulsive, as seen at the American Diner.
15	** Serge was already clearly crazy before his death, and continues to be now.
16	** Victor is the ultimate CreepyChild. We'd be there all day if we had to describe all the scary things he does, but [[spoiler: deliberately causing Julie's neighbour's and Toni's suicide by hallucination surely stands out.]]
17	** Mrs Costa doesn't get as much screen time as the others, but then what is she doing all that time ? She seems to know something the other don't, and always lies when people ask how she died.
18	* BigEater: This and not sleeping are at first the only differences between them and the living. Looking for food is literally the first thing they do after coming back to life.
19	* DeathByOriginStory
20	* FirstEpisodeResurrection
21	* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Étienne Berg implies that the Returned appear like normal people because this is how the living want to see them. [[spoiler:Their real form might be more similar to decayed zombies, like the creature in the cave who might be Simon.]]
22	* HealingFactor: If the revenants get killed by conventional injuries, they just come back. However, some of them have WoundThatWillNotHeal, and it's never shown what would happen if they took nonlethal injuries.
23	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They look just like normal living people, haven't aged and don't know about their deaths.
24	* ThePowerOfLove: It appears that the thing that keeps them as (mostly) functional humans is the existence of living people who still care about them.
25	* RevenantZombie: Duh.

31	!!Camille Séguret
32	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_camille.jpg]]
33
34	->'''Played By:''' Yara Pilartz
35	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 01
36
37	14-year-old daughter of Claire and Jérôme, twin sister to Léna. Camille died four years ago in a bus crash, an accident which tore her family apart and which [[spoiler: she may have unwittingly caused via her TwinTelepathy with Léna. In the bus, Camille somehow senses her sister having sex with Frédéric, the boy Camille was in love with and whom Léna promised never to date. Feeling violated and betrayed, she becomes hysterical and tries to force the driver to stop, distracting him long enough to miss Victor standing in the road which causes him to swerve off a cliff.]] She returns four years later to a changed family and a now-adult Léna who she barely recognizes. Although she is immediately accepted, her "reintegration" proves to be a painful one.
38
39	----
40
41	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Léna.
42	* FilleFatale: Invoked. She tries as hard as she can to seduce Frédéric (who's four or five years older than her) by dressing provocatively and acting like a stereotypical "bad girl", but fails. She also pretends to be Simon's ex just to boast around Léna's friends, while he's twenty-two and she's fourteen.
43	* FirstEpisodeTwist: Did I mention she's Léna's twin ? Oops.
44	* HopeBringer: What Pierre wants her to be for the living. [[spoiler: And after everyone discovers her true identity, she decides to take on this role for the parents of the kids who died with her, trying to convince them that they'll be together again.]]
45	** NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: ...As a consequence, said parents proceed to kill themselves to join their dead kids.]]
46	* KidHero
47	* OlderThanTheyLook: The actress is 17 and the character is 14, but she could pass for even younger.
48	** Even moreso if you think that since she was born in 1994, she's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld technically 19]].
49	* NotGrowingUpSucks: As other revenants, she's stuck in the age at which she died. As such, she seems to be a little jealous of how beautiful her twin became growing up, since she would probably have looked the same.
50	* TwinTelepathy: Léna and Camille each seem able to feel what the other feels in times of great emotion. [[spoiler:As noted above, it may have indirectly caused her death.]]
51	* UndeadChild: Actually a teenager, but close enough.
52
53	!!Serge Garrel
54	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_serge.jpg]]
55
56	->'''Played By:''' Guillaume Gouix
57	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 05
58
59	Toni's brother and a violent serial-killer, known for attacking young women in a town underpass and eating their entrails. [[spoiler: Julie]] is one of his surviving victims. While the police never knew that Serge was the culprit, [[spoiler: Toni discovered his brother's criminal activities and killed him to stop the attacks.]] Now, seven years after his death, Serge is back, and so are the murders... He attacks [[spoiler: Lucy]] at the end of the first episode.
60
61	----
62
63	* AffablyEvil: The kind of psycho who says things like "Shhh it's okay" or "Calm down, it's over..." even WHILE stabbing you. Arguably, this contrast between his brutal murders and his comforting attitude makes it even more disturbing.
64	* AllThereInTheManual: The [[http://lesrevenants.canalplus.fr/#!/ interactive website]] has his [[http://ledebut.free.fr/FORUM/journalserge.jpg diary]] as a hidden bonus. It kinda explains his StartOfDarkness in his relationship with [[FreudianExcuse girls, his mother and his brother.]]
65	* AxCrazy
66	* BuriedAlive: [[spoiler: How he died.]]
67	* ButForMeItWasTuesday: [[spoiler: When he finally meets Julie again in the last episode, seven years after he almost killed her, he dosn't recognize her. Actually, she was cosplaying Catwoman the first time, but still...]]
68	* TheButcher: Known as "The Cannibal".
69	* CreepyBlueEyes: Well, light green, but the unsettling effect still applies.
70	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: [[spoiler: He kidnaps Léna and takes her clothes, replacing them with [[GoGoEnslavement a skimpy dress]] and later forces her to have sex with him, all in his [[AffablyEvil polite, gentlemanly way.]]]]
71	* ImAHumanitarian: There's a reason why he was nicknamed "The Cannibal"...
72	** PickyPeopleEater: Only their liver, though.
73	* InTheHood: Wears it every time he's about to kill.
74	%%* MurderersAreRapists
75	%%* SerialKiller
76	%%* TokenEvilTeammate
77	* VillainProtagonist: Read all his tropes and keep in mind that he's ''not'' the antagonist. And once you get to know him, he's even a nice guy...who likes to kill people sometimes.
78
79	!!Simon Delaître
80	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_simon.jpg]]
81
82	->'''Played By:''' Pierre Perrier
83	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 02
84
85	Adèle's fiancée before his untimely death on their wedding day, and father of their daughter Chloé. A former musician with a troubled past, Simon was deeply in love with Adèle before he was killed in a car accident ten years ago. [[spoiler: It is eventually revealed that Simon committed suicide, a fact hidden from Adèle to protect her in her vulnerable state; Simon, however, has no idea why he killed himself and does not remember his death.]]
86
87	----
88
89	* {{Autocannibalism}}: [[spoiler: By the end of the season, he proceeds to eat ''his own rotting flesh''.]] [[{{Squick}} Enjoy.]]
90	* BigEater: Refusing to give him food is generally [[BerserkButton a bad idea]]. [[spoiler: Borders on ExtremeOmnivore levels when he even eats his own flesh.]]
91	* CoDragons: Along with Virgil, he becomes this to [[spoiler: Lucy]] in the second season, being in charge of [[spoiler: punting newly returned people across the lake, to the domain.]] At least until he [[spoiler: flees in order to be with Adèle and their children.]]
92	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Implied. There are hints that something happened to him in his youth ("You know my story") and that it's why [[spoiler: nobody was surprised when he killed himself.]].
93	** The second season reveals that [[spoiler:his parents were members of Milan's suicide cult.]]
94	* DrivenToSuicide: He doesn't remember why.
95	* HotBlooded: Beats the crap of a poor waiter... just because he was ''hungry''.
96	* LookalikeLovers: With Adèle: same height, and both have short curly black hair.
97	* MaleFrontalNudity: ''Twice''. First during [[spoiler: his autopsy, after being shot by Thomas]]. And then again during a sex scene with [[spoiler: Lucy.]]
98	* MrFanservice
99	* SupernaturallyYoungParent: To Chloé. Since he died before she was born and hasn't aged since, he is in his early twenties while is daughter is around ten.
100	* TheLostLenore: To Adèle.
101	* TallDarkAndHandsome: More like ''average'', dark and handsome, but aside from that he fits both in looks and personality.
102	* TroubledButCute: Had this reputation before his death.
103
104	!!Victor / [[spoiler: Louis Lewanski]]
105	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_victor.jpg]]
106
107	->'''Played By:''' Swann Nambotin
108	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 04
109
110	A strange, solitary little boy who refuses to speak and follows Julie home, compelled to always stay by her side because [[spoiler: he thinks she's a "fairy" sent by his mother to protect him]]. His cause of death is not revealed for quite some time. [[spoiler: Around the time the first dam broke, burglars broke into his home and killed his entire family; while one of them tried to reassure and protect him, the other promptly shot him in cold blood.]] In the second season, it is revealed that [[spoiler:he is not the Lewanski's biological son, and was probably already a Returned. He appeared on their doorstep one night with no explanation, after he unsuccessfully tried to convince Étienne Berg not to build the dam; after he returned from the shooting that killed his mother and brother, he hid with his father for 35 years, until the night when other people began returning. ]]
111
112	----
113
114	* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: Some of his drawings did predict future, fatal events, such as the dam breaking and Mme Costa's death, but it is unknown whether the others were drawn before or after the events portrayed, since he stayed in hiding in town for 35 years.]]
115	* BigGood: Develops into this as the second season progresses, culminating in the finale when he manages to [[spoiler:send the Horde away peacefully ''and'' stay with Julie]] through sheer force of will.
116	* AChildShallLeadThem: [[spoiler:Lucy leaves the choice about the fate of the Returned in his hands at the end of the series.]]
117	* CreepyChild: Where to start? First, he is seen wandering alone in the town at night, which itself could give any parent nightmares. Then the first time he really appears on screen, we see him eerily stalking a woman who doesn't even know him. He almost never speaks (but when he does it's even creepier) and often disappears when you aren't looking. And finally the most terrifying part: [[spoiler: this kid apparently has the power to make you kill yourself through terrifying mental illusions.]]
118	* CuteMute: Subverted. He's not technically mute, just refuses to speak. Starts to grow out of this in Season 2.
119	* DefrostingIceKing: The loving quasi-parental relationship that Julie gives him makes him grow into a more emotional and empathetic character as the series progresses. It's implied in the Season 2 finale that [[spoiler:he already had a similar arc while he was living with the Lewanskis, and Mr. Lewanski's accident and the mass resurrection set Louis's character back to the starting point]].
120	* TheDreaded: Was this during his life [[spoiler: because of his predictive abilities]], causing his bullying at school and [[spoiler: Milan's cult trying to drive his family away, leading to the fatal burglary in his house.]]
121	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette
122	* HatesBeingAlone: This trait amplifies in the second season, after Julie has become a real ParentalSubstitute to him. He has a nightmare in which he sees Julie playing with another child on the beach, and it's implied in the series finale [[spoiler:he caused the mass resurrection after wishing for his elderly father not to die and leave him alone.]]
123	* HappilyAdopted:
124	** The second season reveals that [[spoiler:he's not even a Lewanski, and they "adopted" him after he came into their home without explanation late one night.]]
125	** The last minutes of the series finale imply that [[spoiler:he has been adopted by Julie and Ophélie, now a couple.]]
126	* LivingEmotionalCrutch: He and Julie become this for one another during the course of the series.
127	* MasterOfIllusion: [[spoiler: In a truly nightmarish way: it's probably how he caused Mlle Payet's suicide, and he later tries the same with Toni. He also terrifies Pierre with an illusion of the night he died and makes Chloé faint with an image of her mother's suicide attempt.]]
128	* MeaningfulName: Although it's not his real name, it's easy to make a parallel with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_of_Aveyron Victor, the wild boy of Aveyron]], who was found alone in the forest and never learned how to speak.
129	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Ten years before the events of the series, he tries to warn Esther not to traverse the underpass in order to spare her death at the Cannibal's hands. He ends up distracting her long enough for the killer to sneak up on her from behind and slaughter her.]]
130	* NightmareFuelColoringBook: So nightmarish that his mother prohibited him from drawing. [[spoiler: They predict the deaths of all people who eventually return, and he has drawn ''dozens'' of them.]]
131	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Victor" is actually just the name Julie gave him since he refused to tell her his real name. [[spoiler: It's Louis, and even this name was given to him by the Lewanskis when they "adopted" him.]]
132	* PatientZero: [[spoiler: Arguably the person who has been a Returned for the longest time: more than 35 years.]]
133	%%* PsychicChildren
134	* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: He shows powers of this kind in the second season finale, where he somehow saves Julie from death from falling into the sinkhole.]]
135	* {{Seers}}: Was this even before his death. [[spoiler: He has nightmares which predict tragedies, including the first dam breaking and stuff happening years in the future, which he then reproduces as drawings.]]
136	* TagalongKid: Starts following Julie one night for apparently no reason. [[spoiler:He believes she's a "fairy" sent by his mother to protect him.]]
137	* ThatManIsDead: Literally. He tells [[spoiler: his mother, after her return,]] that his name is Victor, having embraced his relationship with Julie.
138	* UndeadChild
139	* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler: Seeks revenge after he saw his entire family murdered by burglars.]]
140
141	!!Viviane Costa
142	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_viviane.jpg]]
143
144	->'''Played By:''' Laetitia de Fombelle
145	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 01, 2x05
146
147	Apparently the Revenant whose death goes the farthest back. She was the wife of the now elderly schoolteacher Mr Costa and it is assumed she died sometime in the seventies. When he sees her back from the dead, her husband quickly proceeds to kill her by trapping her in their burning house. [[spoiler: Of course this doesn't stop her from coming back.]] Throughout the series, she displays an extremely cynical attitude towards the living, saying the Revenants don't have to fear them anymore and that they don't even need the Revenants to hurt them. Flashbacks show that [[spoiler: she survived the dam rupture that flooded the original town, and suggesting she knew something about it not being an accident]]. Her cause of death remains unknown until Episode 05 of the second series, when it is revealed that [[spoiler: she drowned in the frozen lake that formed after the first dam broke, three months after the catastrophe.]]
148
149	----
150
151	* DangerThinIce: [[spoiler:How she originally died.]]
152	* LastNameBasis: Everyone simply calls her Mrs Costa.
153	* MeaningfulName: Her first name is Viviane, which derives from the French word for "living".
154	* KillItWithFire: After she comes back from the dead, her terrified husband tries to re-kill her in a house fire. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]
155	* OutOfFocus: Out of the "original" five Returned, she's the one with the least amount of screentime, and the circumstances behind her death aren't explored until the second season.
156	* TookALevelInKindness: Does this in the second series after [[spoiler: living for six months with Julie and Victor, becoming a confidant for the former and another ParentalSubstitute for the latter.]]
157
158	!![[spoiler: The Horde]]
159
160	[[spoiler: The many, many other people who resurrected at the same time as the other characters. Most of them seem to have died when the dam broke and flooded the old town in the seventies. Unlike the others Revenants, they seem to have absolutely no interest in getting back in touch with their loved ones and stay together, hiding in the woods. They have a sullen, silent behaviour which makes them seem like zombies (although extremely well-behaved ones) and at least one of them has gone completely feral. They seem to harbor a vendetta against the living and are plotting some kind of conspiracy, staying in the shadows for the greater part of season 1 before emerging under the leadership of Lucy in the finale. One of their objectives is to reunite all the Revenants.]]
161
162	->'''Played By:''' [[spoiler: Various]]
163	->'''Centric Episodes:''' [[spoiler: 08]]
164
165	* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler: Apart from the occasional feral one, the Horde never speaks and moves only at walking speed.]]
166	* NothingIsScarier: [[spoiler: Their]] modus operandi when preventing anyone [[spoiler: to leave the part of the city now inhabited by the Returned after the flood]]: calmly and silently approaching them [[spoiler: from all sides]], with a blank face.
167	* StopHittingYourself: [[spoiler: Their victims believe the Horde attacks them by all sides, but it's all an illusion created by the Horde itself, who remains still and silent while psychologically inducing the victim to ''beat themselves up''.]]
168	* WalkingSpoiler

180	A classmate of Camille and Léna, and girlfriend of Esteban, who perished as well in the bus accident.
181	[[spoiler:She returns in the first episode of the second season, and is bewildered to find the city flooded and under military control. Lucy finds her and brings her where all the Returned are, leaving her in the care of Claire and Camille.]]
182

184

194
195	----
196
197	* OneSteveLimit: ZigZagged, doubling as BilingualBonus. His name translates as "Stephen", just like Étienne, another character debuting in the second season.
198	* StoppedCaring: [[spoiler: Virgil suggests it's the cause why he becomes like the other Returned, given that there's no one left who cares for him.]]
199

206

215	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 2x07
216
217	The Lewanski's neighbour, and an engineer who built the upper dam, the one which collapsed and drowned several people 35 years prior. [[spoiler:Out of guilt for this tragedy, he joined Milan's cult.]] In the present, he lives in the Returned domain and helps Claire and Camille.
218
219	----
220
221	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:He joined the suicide cult out of guilt for the flood he had caused.]]
222	* MeaningfulName: "Berg" means "mountain" in German and you guessed it, dams are often built in the mountains.
223	* NiceGuy: He provides Claire with a safe shelter after she's assaulted by [[spoiler:the Horde]].
224	* SmallRoleBigImpact: He has limited screentime both in flashbacks and in the present, but his decision to keep building the dam [[spoiler:despite Victor's insistence]] set into motion a chain of events in the series' backstory.
225	* TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:He only joined the cult out of guilt, without intending to murder anyone.]]
226
227	!!Milan Garrel
228	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lesrevenants_milan.jpg]]
229
230	->'''Played By:''' Michaël Abiteboul
231	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 2x02
232
233	Serge and Toni's father, who returns at the beginning of the second series. He was the leader of a murderous cult in the Seventies, when the first dam broke, [[spoiler:of which M. Costa and the teenaged Pierre were a part. He apparently killed Lucy and her boyfriend Morgane, and engineered the burglary at the Lewanski's home which resulted in the death of (almost) all of Louis/Victor's family. He was shot in the head by Pierre after finishing off all members of the suicide cult, including Étienne Berg and Simon's parents.]]
234
235	----
236
237	* BigBad: For the second season.
238	* {{Cult}}: He was the leader of one - a murderous and suicide cult, to boot.
239	* TheDon
240	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler: Gets tied down with weights and dumped into the water to ensure he can't come back. Considering the Returned simply revive a short time later after being "killed" while already dead, he's going to spend his days reviving and drowning, over and over...]] {{Subverted}} however when he's rescued by the police and goes back to the Horde.
241	* FauxAffablyEvil: He has the same mannerisms as [[spoiler: his son Serge]] when comforting their victims, but he doesn't have any actual concern for them and just revels in violence, often unprovoked.
242	* JoinOrDie: He thinks the reason he has returned is to [[spoiler:kill everyone in order to make them a Returned.]]
243	* TheSociopath
244	* WellIntentionedExtremist: How "well-intentioned" he is is up for debate, but his motivation for what he did 35 years ago was [[spoiler: to "save" everyone.]]

252
253	----
254
255	* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed, but glaring given that he has one entire episode to his name. His whole character is ancillary to [[spoiler: Lucy's]], his death flashback actually serves to further her backstory, and after his return he never speaks, only having sex with her and following her around. [[spoiler: Except at the end of the season.]]
256	* GenderBlenderName: {{Lampshaded}} by Lucy.

273	->'''Played By:''' Ernst Umhauer
274	->'''Centric Episodes:''' 2x04
275
276	A teenager who disappeared 35 years ago, and who debuts in the second season. [[spoiler: He was kidnapped by Milan to "cleanse him of his sins" and kept locked in the cellar. The little Serge let him out, but he fell in a bear trap in the forest and was mauled by the wild animals. Milan finds him and puts him out of his misery, while forcing Serge to watch.]]
277
278	----
279
280	* CoDragons: He and [[spoiler: Simon]] are this to [[spoiler: Lucy]]. In particular, he manages [[spoiler: newly returned people into households.]]
281	** TheDragon: He is promoted as this after [[spoiler: Simon leaves the domain.]]
282	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Slower and more painful than most of the other Returned.
283	* LoveInterest: [[spoiler: For Camille.]]
284	* MeaningfulName: Just as ''Literature/TheDivineComedy'''s Virgil, he serves as a guide and MrExposition to the world of the dead to Camille's AudienceSurrogate.

299	Simon's former fiancée. Ten years after his death on their wedding day, she has raised his child and found love again in Thomas, whom she's about to marry. [[spoiler: After Simon's death, Adèle suffered from depression and hallucinations, claiming she could hear him whispering to her. Despite psychiatric care and her love for Thomas and Chloé, she tried to commit suicide at least once.]] When Simon returns, Adèle is visibly torn between her old feelings for Simon and her new life with Thomas. Unlike the other characters, she believes Simon to be a ghost who only she can see. She works at the town's media center.

301	----
302
303	* BreakTheCutie: The flashback shows she was more lively before Simon died, the day they were supposed to marry. After that, she was so depressed [[spoiler: she attempted suicide.]]
304	* DrivenToSuicide: It didn't work though.
305	* FetusTerrible: [[spoiler: Simon gets her pregnant after he's back from the dead. The result ? A half-human, half-undead fetus, apparently powerful enough to be demanded by the Horde.]]

307	* RavenHairIvorySkin
308	* SecondLove: Thomas.
309	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Vertère? Verterre? Verthaire? Werther? It was never spelled in-universe (only pronounced), and the Italian subtitles say Werther while the Spanish ones say Vertère, so... The credits for Season 2 spell it as "Werther", though.
310	* StatuesqueStunner: She's played by a 1.78 m (5'10'')-tall actress.
311	* WightInAWeddingDress: Seems to be associated with wedding dresses. She wears one the first time we see her, and the promotional art pictures [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3IkBTm3rdm4/ULIrf6G-IFI/AAAAAAAAXhc/4pnkji8v0UU/s1600/Les-revenants-mariee.jpg her with one too ]].

317
318	Simon's and Adèle's young daughter, she has Thomas as a surrogate father since Simon died before she was born. A calm, charming child on first appearances, she displays surprising maturity for her age and later reveals a darker edge. [[spoiler: Having witnessed your mother's suicide attempt can do that to you.]] She feels strongly protective of her family.

328	->'''Played By:''' Anne Consigny
329
330	Wife of Jérôme, mother to Léna and Camille. After Camille's death, she saw the rest of her family crumble and this has left her with a sentiment of powerlessness. Her relationship with Léna is strained and she forced Jérôme to move out of their house when his alcoholism became too much to handle. She found an unexpected savior in Pierre, who provided her the emotional support she wanted so desperately. Their relationship is very ambiguous (though it seems platonic at the moment) and she has grown very religious. She prayed every day for Camille to come back and interprets her return as God fulfilling her greatest wish.
331

333
334	* MamaBear: Shoots [[spoiler: Frédéric]] in retaliation after he shoots [[spoiler: Camille]].
335	* ShrineToTheFallen: She has kept Camille's room in the same condition it was at the time of her death, which proves useful when Camille returns and doesn't realise at first four years have passed.

338
339	->'''Played By:''' Claude Lévèque, Fabrice Abraham (flashbacks)
340
341	An elderly retired schoolteacher who taught most of the older characters, his medical exams are regularly done by Julie. His wife Madame Costa died sometime in the seventies; when she comes back, he immediately attempts to [[KillItWithFire kill her with fire]] before taking his own life. Supplementary materials reveal he was also mayor of the town at the time his wife died.

366
367	->'''Played By:''' Jérôme Kircher
368
369	The local Catholic priest, always speaking in a moderate and perhaps mildly condescending tone. He seems to prefer the mysteries of the faith to actual supernatural occurrences, to the point of claiming that the idea of Jesus' physical resurrection is taking things "too literally".
370
371	----
372
373	* OnlySaneMan: Crosses into ironic territory when the most rational character is a Catholic priest, i.e. an inherently spiritual profession. It helps, however, that he's the only living character without a personal attachment to one or more Returned.
374	* SecretKeeper: In the second season, he hides [[spoiler:Adèle and Simon's family]] in the church buildings.

381	Separated husband of Claire, father of Léna and Camille. Unable to recover from Camille's death, he succumbed to alcoholism and violence and was kicked out of the house by Claire. [[spoiler: It is also revealed that he hit Léna on at least one occasion.]] He is slowly recovering, but his plans to reconnect with his wife and daughter do not prove successful. He despises Pierre, both for the emotional connection he has with Claire and his born-again religious outlook, which Jérôme suspects to hide fraudulent motives. His brutal honesty and tendency to address uncomfortable truths often test the patience of other characters. He is, however, trying to atone for his past mistakes by protecting Camille once she returns from the dead. [[spoiler: He once had an extra-conjugal liaison with Lucy who claimed she could hear Camille telling him she loved him; this is probably the point when he started to clean up.]]

396
397	Monsieur Costa's nurse and Laure's past lover. [[spoiler: She is the last known victim of the Cannibal, and the only one who (just barely) survived his attack. Although she would rather die than admit it, Julie was left traumatized and pushed Laure away from her for this reason. She confesses that she feels "dead" since the attack and thinks that she may be one of the "Revenants." She was indeed "clinically dead" for two seconds as she laid on the operating table, but her theory remains as of now unconfirmed.]] Little Victor follows her home and she feels compelled to care for him, although she cannot determine who he is or where he came from. [[spoiler: She bears deep scars on her abdomen from the Cannibal's knife; supplementary materials relate that she is now unable have children and this may explain why she feels the irrational need to protect and care for Victor.]]
398
399	----
400
401	* AllLesbiansWantKids: [[spoiler: Her inability to have children after Serge's attack was what lead to her and Laure's break-up.]] Moreover, Victor reveals to her that [[spoiler: she was pregnant when she was attacked.]]
402	* AllThereInTheManual: Her last name was never seen or pronounced in the show. It's only revealed in [[http://ledebut.free.fr/FORUM/dossierjulie.jpg her medical report]], one of the bonus found in the [[http://lesrevenants.canalplus.fr/#!/ interactive site.]]
403	** It was eventually revealed on [[spoiler: the Missing Persons posters]], in Season 2.
404	* DrivenToSuicide: In the series finale, [[spoiler:the though of Victor leaving her to go with the Horde leaves her distraught to the point that she jumps into a sinkhole. Luckily, Victor saves her via [[RealityWarper reality warping]] powers.]]

413
414	A [[UsefulNotes/LesCopsSportif Gendarmerie lieutenant]] under Thomas's command, she's Julie's past lover. One of the most stable and level-headed characters of the series. She's very dedicated to her job and even seems over-zealous when it comes to the Cannibal, which, [[spoiler: given he tried to kill Julie, is understandable.]] She's notably adamant on Toni being the main suspect despite the fact that he was proven innocent years ago.
415
416	----
417
418	* AllLesbiansWantKids: [[spoiler: Julie's inability to have children after Serge's attack was what lead to her and Laure's break-up.]]

420	* FairCop

428
429	Daughter of Claire and Jérôme, twin sister of Camille. Four years have passed since her sister's death and she is now a full-grown woman in her last year at high school. Foul-mouthed, wild and sexually promiscuous, she has only a very loose relationship with her parents; Claire has given up trying to discipline her and Jérôme [[spoiler: hit her before he left the house]]. Underneath the party-girl exterior Léna clearly bears a lot of unresolved pain and anger. Unlike her parents, she reacts to her twin's return with shock, fear and complete rejection. [[spoiler: Her inability to face Camille may stem from survivor's guilt, since she was supposed to be on the school bus with her sister the day it crashed. Instead, she faked an illness and stayed at home, using the opportunity to seduce the boy Camille was in love with (Frédéric) and whom she had promised not to date.]]
430
431	----
432
433	* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler: Jérôme hit her on at least one occasion.]]
434	* AngstySurvivingTwin: After Camille's death. [[spoiler: And the fact that she (even indirectly) caused her death sure doesn't help.]]
435	* BigSisterInstinct: Is fiercely protective of Camille since the later part of Series One, after [[spoiler: she escapes Serge's captivity.]] It works towards Chloé, too, during the second season.
436	* BrattyTeenageDaughter: Has some shades of this, but [[AbusiveParents given]] [[AngstySurvivingTwin the context]] it's perfectly justified.
437	* CaptiveDate: Serge's. She manages to escape, but only after being [[SexualExtortion forced to have sex with him first]].
438	* DrinkingContest: She wins one in her first appearance.
439	* FieryRedhead
440	* FilleFatale
441	* FirstEpisodeTwist: She's Camille's twin sister.
442	* MessyHair: It looks almost like a real life version of [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} Merida]]'s. (No, [[http://i-cant-hear-the-people-sing.tumblr.com/post/48733447102/i-see-a-perfect-cosplay-here really!]])
443	* MsFanservice
444	* OnlySaneMan: Well, only ''appropriately freaked out'' woman, since she is the only person who reacts to Camille's return with shock and fear, initially refusing to accept her.
445	* PlayingSick: She fakes sick so that she doesn't have to go on the school trip [[spoiler:where Camille dies.]]
446	* SheIsAllGrownUp: Player for drama : Camille and her used to be identical twins. It's when Camille sees Lena is now much older that she realizes she's actually been dead for years.
447	* StockholmSyndrome: Subverted. She pretends to develop feelings for [[spoiler: Serge]], even agrees to have sex with him, so that he trusts her and she can make her escape at the right moment.
448	** However, in the second season she deliberately visits him for information on her sister's whereabouts. This [[spoiler: almost gets her killed at Milan's hands.]]
449	* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler: Feels this way about Camille's death, since she stayed at home and broke her promise about Frédéric instead of taking the bus with her on the day of the accident.]]

463	* FaceHeelTurn: Just like Frédéric, in Season 2.

[[spoiler: She survives, and seems to have regenerative powers.]] Not much is known about her except that she arrived in town one year ago without a dime in her pocket and that she frequently had sex with customers. [[spoiler: It is also revealed that she's some kind of medium who can communicate with the dead during sexual intercourse with their relatives; one of her clients was Jérôme. After she heals completely, she escapes the hospital and joins the Revenants; by the end of the first season she even seems to be their leader, or is at least chosen as their spokesperson. A flashback in the second season reveals that she was apparently killed by Milan shortly after the first dam broke, and returned at least a year before the events in the present.]]

478	* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler: She's leader of the Returned, or at least their spokesperson. But for all we know, she could be either the BigGood or the BigBad.]]
479	* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: She apparently survived the Cannibal's attack thanks to regenerative powers, but it's unclear if she's just a special living person, if she was killed and came back as a returned, or if she was ''already'' a returned before being stabbed.]]
480	** Given that she [[spoiler: was apparently killed by Milan 35 years ago and hasn't aged a day since then, she definitely wasn't an ordinary human when she was "killed" by Serge in the first episode.]] However, she might be [[spoiler: something different than an ordinary Returned.]]
481	* BigBad: Starting to seem like this by the finale. Shares the position with [[spoiler: Milan]] during the second season.

493
494	Julie's annoying next door neighbour. Has a lot of cats and is constantly peeping through the keyhole to spy on the other inhabitants of the building. She's a gossip extraordinaire and loves to intrude in other people's private lives; she's also kind of a cougar.

A devout man with a charismatic persona, he annoys Jérôme no end and has become Claire's best friend and confidant. [[spoiler: In the seventies, he took part in the fatal burglary at Victor's house, when his partner killed the whole family. While Pierre tells Victor that he did not mean for them to die, he also did nothing to prevent it. His strong religious beliefs probably stem from this guilt, as a way to atone for his sins.]] He's confident that the return of the dead is a signal of an imminent divine intervention on a much larger scale.

512
513	* BrokenPedestal: He loses the respect of the other people sheltered at the Helping Hand after the blame of [[spoiler:Sandrine's death]] is pinned on him.
514	* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: He was one of the burglars who killed Victor/Louis and his family. While he tried to protect Victor, he also didn't prevent the other man from shooting him.]]
515	** [[spoiler: He is the sole survivor of Milan's suicide circle, and was the one to kill him in the first place. He was supposed to finish things by committing suicide, but he didn't go through.]]
516	* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: He finally shoots himself in front of Milan, 35 years after he didn't have the courage to do it, in the second season finale.]]
517	* EvilCostumeSwitch: During the second season, he wears a black leather jacket to match his increasingly antagonistic attitude.

[[spoiler: He had their whole house monitored by hidden cameras without Adèle's knowledge, though he claims he only did it to make sure she didn't try to commit suicide when he wasn't around.]] Simon's return jeopardizes everything that Thomas has built in his life with Adèle and so he is extremely hostile towards him, considering him a threat to both Adèle and Chloé.
