Godfrey Family
Godfrey Family
Olivia Godfrey
- Played by: Famke Janssen
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: If nothing else, she was a daddy's girl.
- Heel–Face Door-Slam: Spends much of season two seemingly going through a change after realising she's dying of cancer such as apologising to Shelley for how she treat her and once she found out Roman had remained an Upir she even accepts her upcoming death. But when Norman leaves her and mocks her slow deterioration all that goes out the window and by start of season three, she is back to being a villain.
- Kick the Dog: Murders Prycilla to restore herself whilst at the same time robbing Shelley the chance of having a normal life.
- My Beloved Smother: Has this towards Roman to a near uncomfortable degree.
Roman Godfrey
- Played by: Bill Skarsgård
- Died on Their Birthday: In the Season One finale, "Birth", Roman opts to slit his wrists and commit suicide on his birthday, rather than kill his and Letha's baby daughter. However, bleeding out and dying from this causes Roman to reawaken as an Upir.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: For all his faults Roman does genuinely care for his younger sister.
- He Who Fights Monsters: Despite his attempts to not be like his mother Roman ultimately becomes just as dangerous resulting in Peter killing him after he murdered Destiny.
- Matricide: At the end of season one Roman becomes an Upir and proceeds to rip out Olivia's tongue rather than feed on his daughter. Unfortunately, Pryce is able to bring her back.

Shelley Godfrey
- Played by: Nicole Boivin (Season 1), Madeline Martin (Season 2&3)
