7	!! The Documentarian
8	->'''Voiced by:''' Hem Cleveland
9
10	The anonymous narrator of the series.
11	----
12	* AnArmAndALeg: Season 4's B-story reveals that the Documentarian lost the use of her left arm in a car accident. Luckily, she's right-handed. At the end of the series, it's revealed that she started to regain use of her arm.
13	* MyGreatestFailure: Above all else, she is the most guilty about sending Maheer, a long-time associate of hers, to die because she didn't understand the ramifications of what she had done.
14	* MysteriousBenefactor: She's sunk a ''lot'' of time and money into investigating the disappearances, but for much of the show we know very little about her, and her motives for doing so are a mystery. Though as of Season 4, she's finding herself one-upped by her mother, who goes by "Mor" (Swedish for "mother") instead of her own name.
15	* NoNameGiven: Throughout the series, she's never referred to by name, even by other characters until the series finale, where it's revealed her name is Linnea.
16	* TheStoic: Appears utterly unflappable in the face of the horrible events she documents, and her own field recordings give the impression she really is like that all the time.
17	** {{Downplayed}} in Seasons 4 and 5 where she betrays a lot more emotion, particularly with her mother, and even [[NotSoStoic breaks down]] [[TearsOfRemorse crying]] when she chooses to sacrifice Casner to the Svalbard Site.
18	* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As a member of one of the Families, she carries the mDNA trait that gives her immunity to the sites' effects.

23	!!'''Dr. Karina Schumacher-Weiß'''
24	->'''Voiced by:''' Kessi Riliniki
25
26	A German geologist, on the Fristed team in hopes of securing a permanent job with Sidja Group.
27	----
28
29	* BreakTheCutie: At the start she's the most upbeat and personable of the group, excited to be on the expedition. However, after her encounter with the monster, she becomes an anxious wreck, becoming increasingly withdrawn and scared until she's taken.
30	* CassandraTruth: She's the first to see the monster and realize the team is in danger, but the others chalk her paranoia up to the concussion. Later on, she's the first to be taken.
31	* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: She's the first one to encounter the monster in the underground village, and afterwards it seems to hold a psychic sway over her and she's eventually the first one to be taken.
32	* KillTheCutie: She's the least jaded and most upbeat of the team and the first one to be taken by the monster, dragged away at the end of season one with the team quickly realizing she was killed by the thing.

36	[[folder:Walter Heath]]
37	!!'''Walter Heath'''
38	->'''Voiced by:''' David Ault
39
40	An English IT specialist tasked with repairing the communication fault at Outpost Fristed. Recently divorced.
41	----
42
43	* AmicableExes: Zigzagged with his ex-wife, Molly, while he doesn't seem to bear her any special ill-will he does giddily state that she won't get a cent out of his discovery of the subterranean village.
44	* CommunicationsOfficer: Given his expertise he's the most often left in charge of the radio, and is the first one to decipher the monster's transmissions.
45	* ClusterFBomb: Half the hard swearing in the series comes from him.
46	* DefiantToTheEnd: Despite his cowardly nature, the recording of his death shows he took some swings at the monster with his ice axe, and his last words are, "Kill me then you cunt! Do it!"
47	* JerkassHasAPoint: He's an abrasive jerk, especially under stress, but his intuition is rarely wrong and he has legitimate criticisms of the situation. Most notably, his recommended course of action when Karina is taken--to leave her for dead and get out of Dodge--ultimately proves to be the wisest course of action whenever the monsters take people.
48	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's perfectly friendly towards the other members of the repair team and tries to always pull his weight--he can just be blunt and cowardly when he's freaking out. And given the circumstances, he spends most of the series freaking out.

61	** {{Subverted}} as of Seasons 3 and 4, where her desiccated body has been discovered in Patagonia, of all places.
62	* NiceGal: She's a warm and friendly woman.
63	* PosthumousCharacter: Despite dying in Season 2, her effect on Graham is still felt... as well as her voice and form being used by the monsters.
64	* TokenReligiousTeammate: She's the only person who is particularly vocal about her religious beliefs, and prays for safety and help a few times. It's downplayed though, as the implication is that she's a lapsed Catholic, and it's more the desperate situation that's prompted her to turn to religion.

68	[[folder:Graham Casner]]
69	!!'''Graham Casner'''
70	->'''Voiced by:''' Peter Lewis

73	----
74	* TheBigGuy: He's the most physical of the group and is most often put in charge of the team's survival shotgun.
75	* HeroicSacrifice: He sacrifices himself to Svalbard's Vault to save Dragana in Season 5.
76	* TheLeader: Becomes the de-facto leader of the group when they choose to evacuate the bunker, his survival expertise making him the most logical choice.
77	* NotSoStoic: As the situation deteriorates he increasingly betrays his own growing fear and desperation as he tries to keep the team alive.
78	** In Season 3, he's so done with the monster and the related horrors he witness that he ''interrupts'' the Documentarian's usual outroduction in one episode.
79	* PlatonicLifePartners: He and Dragana have worked together and been friends for years, to the point that she's his daughter's godmother.
80	* PrecisionFStrike: While not particularly averse to swearing, when he does it's usually to make a point.
81	-->'''Graham''': "''Polar bears don't have'' fucking ''thumbs, Walter.''"
82	* SanitySlippage: The voices and visions of statues start of increasingly wear away at him during Seasons 4 and 5.
83	* SoleSurvivor: He's the lone survivor of the Fristed Expedition, as revealed by Season 3.
84	* TheStoic: He's an immensely calm individual and treats almost everything with a sense of detached professionalism. He is capable of warmth though, and when meeting with old clients who remember them fondly, comments that "they paid enough for a polite experience."
85	* YouCantFightFate: He knows that if he goes back to Svalbard, he won't be making it back. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy He was right.]]

94	----
95
96	* BackForTheFinale: Jónas makes a surprise appearance in video camera footage near the end of Season 5, having last been heard in Season 2. Then a Forrmynður that states it was previously Jónas appears before Dr. Amelia Murray in the penultimate episode to guide her.
97	* FamilyMan: A lot of his personal logs are directed toward his daughters, with him clearly being a devoted father to them. Even after being turned into a Forrmynður, he keeps the necklace that his daughters made for him.
98	* HorrorHunger: As his mutation progresses, he complains constantly of being hungry, to the point where he still isn't full after eating several ''oversized lampreys'' by himself.
99	* TheMole: It's eventually revealed that he knew at least some of what the team would find, and that the others would die. Unlike Lucas Criado however he feels guilty about it, and doesn't noticeably help the monsters hunt their prey.
100	* MustHaveCaffeine: The man loves his coffee and is often heard making some for himself and the team, to the point they blow through their supply of coffee in just two weeks.
101	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As the company man on the team, Jónas is generally amiable to the others and is ready to offer his assistance to Heath and Casner with their work.
102	* TeamChef: He serves as a ''de facto'' mess officer, scrounging together decent meals from the bunker's supplies, and salvaging what little's left for a final meal after the monster destroys their food.
103	* ZombieInfectee: Slices his hand on a black stone statue in the underground village and slowly begins mutating into something like the monster, but keeps it from the rest of the crew until he's the last one left.

106
107	[[folder:The monster ('''SPOILERS''')]]
108	!!The monster/Forrmynður
109	->'''Voiced by:''' ???
110
111	The antagonistic humanoid entity that hounds the team at Outpost Fristed. Season 3 reveals that there are more of these monsters in South America, as they terrorize the Piedra team.
112
113	In Season 4, Mor reveals that they are called the Forrmynður, or the Guardians.
114	----
115	* AnimalisticAbomination:
116	** The active Guardians at the Patagonia site include a massive bird and several swarms of insects
117	** In season 5 the Documentarian discovers that the unnaturally massive animal bones found at the sites belong to long-dead Guardians
118	** Jónas, after he turned into one was described to have "bony, thin legs curved like talons, and gnarled, thin toes similar to aged fingers."
119	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Their morality is WAY different than most other people's. One striking thing is that they believe that the boxes with teeth and hearts in them are something like memorials, and are left to ease the pain of those who have lost.
120	* EvilLaugh: The humanoid ones tend to laugh to themselves when stalking or attacking intruders. The one impersonating Dr. Liu lets out a particularly chilling one before dragging off Maheer.
121	* HellIsThatNoise: Somehow, it's able to sound like a voice over a radio speaker, among its more organic and monstrous noises.
122	* HumanoidAbomination: The only "human" thing about it is that it's vaguely humanoid. It's tall, with slender limbs and sharp claws.
123	* ItCanThink: The Fristed monster inflicts enough damage to outpost systems to warrant people being sent over, damages their snowmobiles in exactly the same way so that using them is impossible, takes advantage of the team being drawn away from their base to ransack their food stores, and it and the others in later seasons prove able to coherently speak as their victims, albeit in a CreepyMonotone.
124	* WasOnceAMan: If Jónas' and Eva's fates are any indication, each of the monsters was once a person injured by one of the caves' guardians. Season 5 reveals that many of them were once normal animals before being transformed.

136	** CausticCritic: She's especially tough, harsh, and rude to Eva, and wary of Dr. Liu's ideas.
137	* HeroicBSOD: Though not quite heroic, she's still not a bad person, and her experiences at Base Camp Piedra end up breaking her down.
138	* {{Hypocrite}}: At the initial team briefing Ureta advises the team to treat Dr. Liu with respect, despite her insistence that the Patagonian and Chinese sites are connected. Any time she interacts with Dr. Liu afterwards she treats her with contempt.
139	* TheLeader: Dr. Ureta is the lead researcher for the team staying at Base Camp Piedra.
140	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite her abrasiveness, her first and foremost concern is that the expedition and research goes smoothly, though she does have her moments.

152	* AdventurerArchaeologist: An archeologist that's more than willing to get her own hands dirty in the field.
153	* BreakTheCutie: Josefa is determined and excitable and eager to learn more about the site, much like her assistant, Simon. And much like him, she goes through hell and back once she's there.
154	* CreepyGood: Even before her sanity started to slip away, Josefa was always a [[NiceGuy nice and polite person]]. After she leaves Patagonia, she's still nice, polite, and eager, but sometimes in a far weirder and more disturbing way.
155	* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Josefa's ultimate goal in everything that she does. In her last note, written to her husband, she tells him that she found it, and she wants him to find the happiness in life.
156	* SheKnowsTooMuch: She states that this is the reason the statues are after her and Graham, and tries to warn Dragana away from doing the same.
157	* StepfordSmiler: Even before the aforementioned breaking during the events of the season, Josefa was already dealing with her own personal depressions and pain, especially regarding her stagnating career and failing marriage.
158	* MadnessMantra: Starts to repeat the "when you see it, it sees you" mantra several times after arriving in Ny-Ålesund.
159	* SanitySlippage: After being trapped in one of the deepest areas of the Patagonia site after the rock slide, her grip on reality slowly falls away for the remainder of season 4 and 5.

168	----
169	* AnArmAndALeg: The catastrophic damage to his ankle and subsequent massive infection results in the doctors amputating his foot once he makes it back to civilization.
170	* BackForTheFinale: Simon appears in a post-credits scene of the final episode of Season 5, having received an artifact.
171	* BreakTheCutie: Like Karina in Season 1, Simon is a sweet, excitable young man eager to be on the expedition only to go through utter hell once he's there.
172	* {{Determinator}}: While he's definitely the meekest of the whole Base Camp Piedra crew, Simon is still an extremely determined man, best seen by him surviving trapped in the Patagonia Site for over a week on his own despite having several grievous injuries.
173	* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Simon speaks perfectly good English, but the majority of the conversation and reports on the expedition are in Spanish, which he hasn't studied since his first year of undergrad. When he does speak Spanish, it's halting, hesitant, and with an obvious accent.
174	* SoleSurvivor: The only member of the archaeological team sent to Base Camp Piedra to make it back down the mountain.
175	* StraightGay: Does not display any stereotypical gay mannerisms; the only indication of his sexuality is his relationship with his partner Raimey.

182	----
183	* AdmiringTheAbomination: Is fascinated by the cave and its contents and behaves worshipfully towards the creatures.
184	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Initially presents himself as a friendly, if short tempered, guide. In reality he knew what awaited them at the Site and was actively trying to sacrifice the team to it.
185	* BodyHorror: After the Site "rejects" him, he's nearly eaten alive by the strange insects which infested the cave to the point his skin is so covered in welts it's described as ''pulsing''. He also takes to self-mutilation in an attempt to "feed" the Site.
186	* MadnessMantra: Insanely repeats the "When You see It, It sees You" chant in his native Portuguese after entering the Site proper.
187	* TheMole: Worked with Sina-Bene Retreats to lure the archaeological team to the cave on Cerro Torre so they would be taken by the creatures.
188	* SanitySlippage: Once the team finds the cave leading to the main Patagonia Site, Lucas' mental state rapidly crumbles and arguably becomes more of a threat than even the guardians.
189	* TranshumanTreachery: While ostensibly a member of the Family, Lucas desired foremost to be "chosen" and transformed by the Site, and proves more than willing to feed the rest of the team to the Site in an attempt to carry favor.

193	!! Eva Olivia Moreno
194	->'''Voiced by:'''Creator/DianeCasanova
195
196	A Colombian doctoral candidate under Dr. Ureta who jumped at the opportunity to follow the archaeologist to Cerro Torre despite the personal enmity between them. She specializes in paleolithic human history, and believes humanity has much more to its ancient history than believed.
197	----
198	* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Stays behind to set off the demolition charges in order to die on her own terms rather than face mutating into a guardian.
199	* BodyHorror: Like Jónas her infection and slow mutation into a guardian is a horrific affair, with a lot of her arm's skin sloughing off when she's grabbed by Graham.
200	* BreakTheCutie: Like Simon she's a genuinely sweet and kind young woman who only wants to learn more about humanity's collective past, and goes through utter hell for it.
201	* ClaimedByTheSupernatural: After she's infected she belongs to the Site, with the guardians ignoring her and herself having a psychic drive to return to the Site at all costs.
202	* {{Determinator}}: Solo-descends from Cerro Torre despite several injuries in order to get help for the other survivors once the cave in at the Site cuts her off. Then she ''goes back'' despite having only a week at most to recover.
203	* DyingAsYourself: Chooses to stay behind and blow up the theater at the Patagonian site because she's in the process of becoming one of the creatures and wants to destroy what she can before she's subsumed completely.
204	* ForScience: She's the most enthusiastic of the group both for the initial expedition and the later exploration of the Site, and often waxes about how much more humanity stands to learn about its history even after the expedition goes wrong.
205	* HeroicSacrifice: Sacrifices herself setting off the explosives which destroy the Patagonia Site and allows the others to escape, although this had more severe repercussions later on.
206	* ZombieInfectee: She is injured by one of the hazards of the cave (in this case stung by a swarm of bugs that came out when the door was opened) and is slowly becoming one of the monsters. Unlike Jonas, she eventually confides in Graham about her condition and, with his assistance, attempts to go out blowing up the Patagonian site before she can be completely converted.

211	->'''Voiced by:''' Sophie Yang
212
213	A Chinese epigrapher who wanted to join Cerro Torre after seeing the glyphs, noticing the similarities to ones that she investigated from the Greater Khingan Mountains.

214	----
215	* AscendedExtra: Originally Dr. Liu was part of the ''Imperial'' miniseries, before joining the main series in Season 3.
216	* CassandraTruth: From the start she insists there is a connection between the Patagonia and Chinese Sites, a view constantly dismissed by the others until it's too late. She knows what will come to pass due to her prior research of the site in China.
217	* FryingPanOfDoom: In Season 3, Episode 7, Dr. Liu is frightened by something outside of the tent at Base Camp Piedra, and threatens it with a cooking pan. While it failed to scare away the monster, it ''did'' end up scaring Dr. Guerrero.
218	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Dr. Liu was intensely interested in the glyphs, and when she started to learn what they meant, things started to take a turn for the worse for her...
219	* PosthumousCharacter: Despite dying between Season 3 and Season 4, her research remains important during the remainder of Season 4 and 5.

231	* AndThisIsFor: Dragana delivers a speech while attacking the Documentarian in the finale episode, for Josefa and Maheer. She stopped at attacking for Graham, because she said she would kill the Documentarian if she was to do anything for him.

233	* BrokenBird: After the events of Patagonia and Svalbard.

235	* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Punches Graham to the ground when he turns his gun on her while undergoing Site-induced psychosis. Thankfully this manages to bring him back.
236	* NoSell: Unlike her companions Graham Casner and Josefa Guerrero, Dragana is not affected by the voices spoken by the Guardians. Josefa and The Documentarian believe it's because she wasn't interested in learning more about the sites, unlike Graham and Josefa, and that her only involvement in this was to assist Graham.
237	* PlatonicLifePartners: She and Graham have worked together and been friends for years. She's his daughter's godmother, and their friendship is the driving force behind why she goes with him on his return to Outpost Fristed, a journey that they're not likely to walk out of.

249	* BigGuyFatalitySyndrome: Is the first one to die from the Patagonia rescue team, getting dragged off by the guardian disguised as Liu.
250	* DefiantToTheEnd: While clearly terrified and in terrible pain, his last words are spitting at the guardians that his death means nothing, and humanity will triumph in the end.
251	* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears in the last episode of Season 3 before being formally introduced in Season 4.
252	* WeHardlyKnewYe: Maheer only spoke sporadically and was quite quiet, and thus the listener gets very little time to get to know him before he dies in the middle of Season 4.

264	* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Raimy manages to speak even ''worse'' Spanish than Simon.
265	* JumpedAtTheCall: Raimy is not an experienced hiker or rescuer. He's just a guy who's boyfriend got lost in a cave and he was going to find him by any means necessary.

274	* BigGood: While it doesn't seem that way at first, this is her ultimate role as someone trying to understand and control the sites to prevent harming more than is necessary.
275	* MamaBear: After Hulda insults her daughters in the finale, Mor goes almost ballistic on her.
276	* MsExposition: Explains the nature of the sites, the Families, and what is known of the Vault to the Documentarian.
277	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: The (most likely non-accidental) death of her daughter Essie is what causes her to reach out to her other daughter, the Documentarian.
278	* NoNameGiven: She is never referred to by name, instead requesting that the Documentarian call her "Mor" which is Swedish for "Mother." In the series finale, her name is revealed to be Agneta.
279	* SuperpowerfulGenetics: As the head of one of the Families connected to the sites, she carries the mDNA trait that gives her immunity to the sites' effects.

She later stays with the other survivors in Ny-Ålesund after one of them injures her without realizing she was there to help.
288	----

290	* BrokenBird: The events on the Iluka changed her.
291	* TheChosenOne: For reasons unknown, Dr. Murray was the one chosen to put an end to the "old ways." Not even the Forrmynður she spoke to knew why she was chosen.
292	* MamaBear: As soon as the Forrmynður mentions that her son was in danger, she drops all anger and pretense about the situation and agrees to help, knowing it will protect him.
293	* NoSell: Josefa notes that the Statues and the creatures want nothing to do with her.
294	* UncertainDoom: The Documentarian states that her confrontation with the Forrmynður was the last known recording of her.

299	!!'''Dr. Carter Duàn, Nadine Teuling, Lisa Mǎ, Lorrie Warner, and Paul Green'''
300	->'''Voiced by:''' Ewan Chung (Carter), Charlotte Norup (Nadine), Lauren Choo (Lisa), Lauren Claire (Lorrie), Sam Suksiri (Paul)
301
302	A group of people who survived the incident happening in Ny-Ålesund during Season 5. They hid inside of the weather station, which kept them safe from the creatures and other people who fell victim to them. The team sent to Svalbard came across them while looking for ways to get to Outpost Fristed. They consist of Dr. Carter Duàn, an Arctic researcher, Nadine Teuling, a nurse, Lisa Mǎ, a tour organizer, Lorrie Warner, a satellite technician, and Paul Green, a worker at the weather station.
303	----
304	* CassandraTruth: After they returned to Longyearbyen, their witness accounts were called into question, especially after other survivors were found, though they weren't as lucid as them.
305	* CommunicationsOfficer: Lorrie spends most of her screen time in the season working the radios, much like Walter in Season 1.
306	* {{Foil}}: They serve as one to the repair team at Outpost Fristed.
307	** Carter serves as one to Casner, as they're both TheLeader of their respective groups.
308	** Nadine serves as one to Rosa. While Rosa was a doctor, Nadine is a nurse.
309	** Lisa serves as one to Karina. While Karina went insane because she was claimed by the site, Lisa is just suffering from the trauma of seeing her tour group killed.
310	** Both Lorrie and Paul serve as one to Walter. Lorrie, like Walter, is a British technician, while Paul's personality is similar to Walter's.
311	** Dr. Murray ends up serving as one to Jónas, as both are outside employees working for Sidja Group who know more about what's going on than they let on.
312	* HeroOfAnotherStory: While Carter briefly explains what happened in Ny-Ålesund prior to the weather going bad and how the group was formed, the specifics are never touched upon, nor is why this specific group were able to walk away relatively unharmed.
313	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: They know very little about what is actually causing things, and are never fully informed. This is a deliberate choice on Graham, Josefa and Amelia's part, as they all know that trying to learn more only makes things worse, and so the best thing they can tell them is to survive, and to not ask questions or look deeper.
314	* TheMedic: Nadine is a nurse, and she patches up Amelia's hand after Carter breaks it, and later patches up Dragana when she returns from Outpost Fristed.
315	* OutOfFocus: Lorrie. She has much less screentime than Carter, Nadine, and Lisa (all of who are counted among the main cast of Season 5) due to working with the radio away from the others. She's still more involved than...
316	** BitCharacter: Paul only appears in a brief scene in a single episode of Season 5 after being mentioned offhand a few times. The others say that it's because he's been passed out drunk the entire time.
317	* ProperlyParanoid: Lisa. Considering the fact that she was [[BuriedInAPileOfCorpses found under a pile of corpses]] of the tourist group she was guiding, she has all rights to be.

381	* OnlySaneMan: Mika is clearly traumatized by being kidnapped, but she spends much of her time as the calm voice of reason, very rarely losing her cool in order to keep the volatile Iffy and frantic, scared Adele from going too far or from falling apart.

405	* TheDragon: Is this to Es.
406	* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lewis is an unrepentant kidnapper and an asshole, but even he thinks Es went too far with killing Jean, and later when Jason kills Mika.

461	----
462	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Introduced after the events of Outpost Fristed as a mourning wife doing damage control after a company scandal, when in reality, she knew exactly what was going to happen, and continues to make trouble. This seems to have eased up by the time of ''Goshawk''.
463	* TheGhost: Despite being a major influence in the series, she's never seen nor heard from until the very final episode.

507	** [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in a few of his writings, which clearly showcase pain or worry, as well as in the Bible verses he chooses to recite late into the season. Anthony informs Jingwei that they were verses about fear.
