Main Characters

    Adam Jacobs 

Adam Jacobs

Species: Vampire

Played By: Craig Roberts

A 46 year old vampire who was recruited when he was 16, and for thirty years was looked after by his parents until their deaths. With money given to him by Mitchell he has enrolled himself in sixth form to get some proper qualifications.


  • Character Tics: He likes pointing at things a lot.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Was turned into a vampire when he was only 16, and then was fed by his parents until they both died leaving him alone.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Often has a lot to say and can keep up with Christa, though he still tends to embarrasses himself.
  • Disco Dan: Adam, in some of the references he makes such as the show Rentaghost.
  • Dirty Old Man: As pointed out by Christa, Adam would be this if he looked his age and came out with his usual pervy comments.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Is actually doing a better job than Mitchell and Hal, ignoring a brief moment he planned to kill Brandy. However by the time he returns for the fourth series of Being Human, by which point he has apparently parted ways with Christa and Matt, he has fallen of the wagon and according to Rook's emails he spent several months draining women of their blood though apparently stopping himself from killing them. His relationship with Yvonne however gives hope that he will do better than the other vampire leads since her abilities as a succubus apparently eliminates a vampire's hunger for blood.
  • Happily Married: While we don't see it and are only aware of their marriage through Rook's emails, his relationship with Yvonne would suggest they would have this.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: Like in the parent show Adam is immortal, but doesn't need blood to survive and can walk around in sunlight.

    Christa Stammers 

Christa Stammers

Species: Werewolf

Played By: Leila Mimack

A werewolf who is in deep denial about her condition and refuses to truly admit it, though she does acknowledge it enough to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone when transformed.


  • Dark and Troubled Past: As shown by a photo she used to be a happy and well behaved student who even did choir, but then an encounter with a werewolf completely changed her life.
  • Deadpan Snarker: The strongest in the cast.
  • Emo: Is not one, according to Adam, though does try to play into the stereotype to take attention away from her scars.

    Matt Bolton 

Matt Bolton

Species: Ghost

Played By: Josh Brown

A recently murdered ghost and the most unpopular student in the school, Adam and Christa have decided to help him uncover the truth of his murder so he can move on.


Other Characters

    Danny Curtis 

Danny Curtis

Species: Human

Played By: John Boyega

A popular kid and Matt's former bully.


  • The Bully: According to Matt he made his life a living hell, and even after his death kept making fun of him.

    Mr. Roe 

Mr. Roe

Species: Human

Played By: Josh Cole

A teacher during Adam's and Christa's detention.


  • Aborted Arc: A video was released showing him appearing on a screen like Annie did in Series 2 of Being Human, promising to return to get revenge on the trio and claiming that this was not the end. As a second series was never made and Being Human ended in 2013, it apparently was the end.
  • Shadow Archetype: As Matt acknowledges after learning why Roe killed him, he could have turned out exactly like him if he hadn't died and became friends with Adam and Christa.
  • The Dog Was the Mastermind: He was the one who actually killed Matt, believing he keyed his car and letting out all his anger over how he has been treated by everyone all his life. He was also listening to what Adam and Christa were saying in detention as opposed to listening to music like he led them to believe, while thinking they were making fun of him with talk of the supernatural and purposely telling them misleading information.

    Mr. Swan 

Mr. Swan

Played By: Simon Ludders

A PE teacher.


  • Evil Teacher: Becomes their most likely suspect due to his attitude towards students, how he secretly lets out all his anger violently on a punching bag, apparently bullies Mr. Roe and told him to clean the boys toilets (where Matt was murdered), and how he would have access to the missing school CTV recordings. He didn't do it so he's likely more of a Stern Teacher.
