Carter

A Terminator sent back in time to 2007 by Skynet to acquire and store a large amount of Coltan, the metal used to construct Terminators, in the episode Heavy Metal. Carter hires various human military personnel, who are unaware of what he truly is, to assist him in his assignment. Once his mission is completed, Carter kills his human personnel, secures the storage area, and shuts himself down to await further orders. Cameron identifies his endoskeletal structure as different from Cromartie's. However, when John accidentally is transported inside the secured storage area, he gets trapped with Carter and his men. Cameron eventually enters the storage area to rescue John, battles Carter and locks the Terminator inside.

Jordan Cowan

A classmate of John and Cameron. In the episode "The Turk", Jordan Cowan (Alessandra Toreson) was upset over graffiti on a classroom door, which hinted she may have had a sexual liaison with a teacher or student. Ashamed, she committed suicide by jumping off the school's roof. John had wanted to save her, but Cameron thwarted his chance (knowing that the family's cover would be blown with unwanted publicity if John effected a rescue). John takes Jordan's death personally.

D

Charley Dixon

Charley Dixon, portrayed by Dean Winters, is an EMT and Sarah Connor's fiancé in the first episode, but she leaves him and moves on to another location. Only when Dixon reports her disappearance to the police is he told about her escape from the mental institution and attack on Cyberdyne. After learning that Sarah and John had supposedly died in the bank explosion (during which Cameron teleported them from 1999 to 2007), Dixon heads to Los Angeles to see the ruins for himself, and later settled there where he met Michelle, whom he married. The Connors come back into his life in 2007, when John begs him to save Derek Reese's life after a battle with a Terminator. At their safe house Dixon sees a Terminator endoskeleton for himself, realizing the truth, and Sarah insists they remain apart for Dixon's own protection. Although Derek Reese considers him a liability, Dixon remains a trusted friend of the Connors throughout Season One of the series.

Michelle Dixon

Michelle Dixon, portrayed by Sonya Walger, is the wife of Charley.

Terissa Dyson

Terissa Dyson is portrayed by Charlayne Woodard. She is the widow of Dr. Miles Dyson, the original designer of SkyNet. Charlayne Woodard takes over the role from S. Epatha Merkerson, who played Terissa Dyson in the Terminator 2 movie.

G

Andy Goode

Andrew "Andy" Goode, portrayed by Brendan Hines, was a young college dropout from Caltech who interned with Cyberdyne Systems, and worked as an assistant to Miles Dyson. His experience at Cyberdyne helped him create an advanced artificial intelligence chess playing program, The Turk. Sarah destroyed it by setting fire to his home, fearing the Turk would lead to the creation of Skynet. Andy had a romantic interest with Sarah.

Andy was killed in the episode Queen's Gambit by Derek Reese, Kyle Reese's brother, after a chess tournament, who then claimed someone else stole Goode's artificial intelligence prototype. He is shown in the episode "Dungeons and Dragons" in a future world during Derek's flashback. In it Andy appears older and renamed himself as William Wisher, a Resistance soldier and a friend of the Reese brothers. After being captured by Skynet's Machine Network, he reveals to Derek Reese that he is one of the ten or fifteen people responsible for creating Skynet. Before Derek made his journey through time, Goode gives a nod to Derek implying that he knows what his mission is. Near the end of the episode, it is explained that Derek kills Andy when he travels back through time to the present time line of the previous episode, extinguishing Andy as part of the group who would create Skynet.

M

Morris

Morris, portrayed by Luis Chávez, is a classmate of John Connor and Cameron in LA. He is unpopular with some of his Latino peers. He is attracted to Cameron. In the first-season finale, he secures a prom date from Cameron after John prompts her.

R

Derek Reese

Derek Thomas Reese was a First Lieutenant with the 132nd S.O.C., operational specialty Tech-Com (aka The Four Horsemen). Portrayed by Brian Austin Green, Reese was born in 2001 and was one of four resistance agents sent by John Connor in 2027 to 2007 to secure finance and other resources and wait for Sarah and John Connor when they made the time jump from 1999 to 2007. He is the older brother of Kyle Reese and therefore John's paternal uncle. After his entire unit was slaughtered by a T-888, Derek is spotted stalking Andy Goode in early episodes, and later is revealed to be the one who kills him. The Connors save Reese's life from the T-888 who had earlier killed his unit and despite their distrust of him, accept Derek into their household once they realize his identity but they keep the truth of John's parentage a secret. Derek doesn't trust Cameron, suspecting her of being a double agent for Skynet. By the season one finale, Derek has concluded on his own that his brother, Kyle, was John's father.

Kyle Reese

Kyle Reese is Derek Reese's younger brother, by 7 years. He was born in 2008. He is the resistance fighter sent back in time to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor in the original The Terminator movie, and was killed by a Cyberdyne Systems T-800 Model 101. He is also John Connor's biological father.

S

Enrique Salceda

Enrique Salceda, portrayed by Tony Amendola, was an expert at forging identities and helped provide the Connors firearms during Terminator 2, but retired from the business and passed it on to his nephew, Carlos. Tony Amendola took over the role from Castulo Guerra, who played Enrique Salceda in Terminator 2. Enrique is killed by Cameron after Sarah suspects that Enrique is a traitor, which later proves to be true.

Sarkissian

Mr. Sarkissian, portrayed by James Urbaniak, purchased The Turk and pursued the Connors, in order to blackmail them out of $2 million. During a standoff, he was thought to have been killed by Derek Reese when in reality the man who was killed was not Sarkissian. As John and Sarah discover this, a car bomb placed by Sarkissian explodes with Cameron inside.

false Sarkissian

A man the Connors believed to be Mr. Sarkissian, portrayed by Craig Fairbrass. He contacts Sarah and offers to sell her the Turk, but then later threatens to expose her to the FBI unless she pays him $2 million. Sarah, Derek, John and Cameron track him down and he is ultimately killed by Derek Reese in the confrontation that follows. In response, the real Sarkissian rigs their Jeep with a car bomb, which explodes under Cameron in the last scene of the season.

Dr. Peter Silberman

Dr. Silberman, portrayed by Bruce Davison, is the police psychologist who treated Sarah Connor while she was institutionalized. Bruce Davidson took over the role from Earl Boen, who played Silberman in T1, T2, T3, and the theme park ride/show. Dr. Silberman later came to believe in Sarah Connor's tale of apocalypse coming.

Greta Simpson

Special Agent Greta Simpson is portrayed by Catherine Dent. She is the partner of Special Agent James Ellison. She doubts his crusade to find Sarah Connor will lead to anything. She is greviously injured by false Agent Kester in the season one finale.

V

Vick

Vick, portrayed by Matt McColm, is a T-888 Terminator who was sent back to make sure one of Skynet's programmers, Barbara Chamberlain, did her part, and kill anyone who threatened her ability to do so, which ultimately included the Resistance fighters. He is seen in the episodes Gnothi Seauton, Queen's Gambit, and Vick's Chip. He is terminated when Cameron pulls the CPU from his exposed metal skull.

W

Cheri Westin

Cheri Westin, portrayed by Kristina Apgar, who is John's chemistry partner, seems troubled and shuns everyone who attempts to befriend her, including John. One classmate named Morris reveals to John that Cheri may have a dysfunctional life after an unknown incident at the last school she attended.

In a scene which was not shown on the air,^{[citation needed]} John examines her school locker, finding graffiti similar to that which prompted student Jordan Cowan to commit suicide. The graffiti referenced an incident in Wichita, Kansas. Later, in a scene which was aired, John mentions Wichita to Cheri in an attempt to get her to open up to him. Cheri, however, firmly denies she is from Wichita. The implication is that she was indeed from Wichita, and that someone at the school knows what occurred there, and is taunting her in the same manner as Jordan Cowan was taunted.
