Revision as of 07:18, 3 March 2010

The main characters of Sanctuary, from left to right; John Druitt, Helen Magnus, Ashley Magnus, Will Zimmerman.

The characters in the Canadian science fiction-fantasy television series Sanctuary mostly centre on abnormals, advanced humans or creatures and bring them to the Sanctuary in the fictional city of Old City, for the purpose of protecting the public, as well as protect the abnormals themselves from the public. Even most of the Sanctuary team are abnormals, despite looking human. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) has longevity, John Druitt (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Ashley Magnus (Emilie Ullerup) can teleport, and Henry Foss (Ryan Robbins) is half-werewolf. Even Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne) turned to an abnormal temporarily in the episode "Warriors". Several of the actors who play their respective characters have been nominated for Leo and Constellation Awards.

Main characters

Helen Magnus

Amanda Tapping plays Helen Magnus

Doctor Helen Magnus, played by Amanda Tapping (Webisodes, main Season 1– ) is a 158 year old scientist and head of the Sanctuary in Old City. She was born in England during the Victorian era, and was one of the first female doctors and scientists of the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Her father, Gregory Magnus taught her about his private research of studying and helping the Abnormals.[1] She became a proficient medical and scientific researcher, and eventually Gregory introduced her to other scientists and paranormal researchers interested in the same field, a group called "The Five". She was the first to inject herself with a sample of pure Vampire blood, giving her the gift of longevity; she has not aged since taking the blood.[2] Helen later pursues a relationship with fellow Five member John Druitt; they are briefly engaged until his new abnormal abilities drive him to become a serial killer. The two conceived a child, Ashley (who would be born over a century later due to being kept as an embryo in frozen stasis).[3]

Helen later builds the Sanctuary in Old City using her father's designs to accommodate the Abnormals. On one hunt, she saves Will Zimmerman during his childhood from a deadly Abnormal, though she is unable to rescue his mother. Decades later, she recruits Will as her protege.[3] In the episode "Requiem", she becomes infected with an aggressive parasite. The only way this is stopped is for Will to kill her, though he manages to revive her after the parasite leaves her body.[4] After the loss of Ashley,[5] she attempts to find her, believing she wasn't killed. However, she soon discovers that she had indeed died.[6] Because of this, she researches a way to lose her immortality, but finding what she needed would cause all of humanity to collapse, so she leaves the solution behind.[7] In "Veritas", Magnus was thought to have killed Big Bertha, an abnormal capable of creating natural disasters.[8] However, in the season two finale it is revealed she kept her alive. After the news broke Terrance Wexford relieved her of command.[9]

According to Mark Wilson of About.com, Amanda Tapping was enthusiastic about creating a radically different character after eleven years playing Samantha Carter in Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, and expended tremendous effort to separate Helen from Carter as successfully as possible. Tapping was able to successfully portray a woman who's experienced a century and a half of isolation, strangeness, and relentless compassion.[10] Rick Bentley from McClatchy Newspapers commented Tapping's role as Dr. Magnus was a way for the actor to make a name of herself outside the Stargate universe as Carter.[11] Magnus is also described as a "non-glib, female Jack Harkness."[12] Magnus has been listed number ten in TV Squad's "Ten Most mysterious characters on television."[13] For her role as Helen Magnus in "Requiem", Amanda Tapping won a Leo Award for "Best Lead Performance by a Female in a Dramatic Series,"[14] as well as nominations for the Constellation Award's "Best Female Performance in a 2008 Science Fiction Television Episode" from the same episode,[15] and the Gemini Award's "Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role".[16]

Will Zimmerman

Robin Dunne plays Will Zimmerman

Doctor Will Zimmerman, played by Robin Dunne (Webisodes, main Season 1– ) is a police forensic psychiatrist, who possesses natural empathic abilities and a sense of a deeper reason behind crimes, looking beyond the surface barrier that his superiors accept. This trait leaves him unpopular with his bosses, and he is often ridiculed or ignored. Sometime before the series, his girlfriend, Meg (Kandyse McClure) breaks up with him. Will secretly suffers nightmares due to an encounter with an Abnormal that left his mother dead.[3] While investigating the mysterious deaths of two local police officers, Will is confronted and eventually recruited by Helen Magnus to help treat her patients (specifically those who are difficult to reach emotionally and need to be convinced to trust her). Though highly skeptical of things that science cannot explain, he learns to accept all things extraordinary. He spends his time in the series on his travels with Magnus and the rest of the Sanctuary crew. In "Warriors", his old friend Danny went missing, and he searches for him. He finds him but is captured and injected with the same drug as Danny to turn him into an Abnormal in a Fight Club-like organisation run by the Cabal, though he is eventually rescued and reverts to Human again.[1]

Robin Dunne commented that Zimmerman spent most of the first season getting used to the Sanctuary and having his foot in both worlds, but not sure where to go, though by the end of the season, he jumps right into it and resigns himself to that life, and that there's more of a darkness to his character. Dunne also commented that this will be explored further for the second season and that viewers are to see a different side to him. Dunne has said that playing Will is challenging, yet exciting.[17] Some reviewers commented that Zimmerman is somewhat of Sanctuary's equivalent of Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1.[10][18] Mark Wilson of About.com stated that Zimmerman is the one character who "really pulls the viewer into Sanctuary's world. Instantly likable, able to seem intellectually gifted without being off-putting [...] Dunne's performance as Will is one of the more effortless realizations of the viewer-identification character in recent sci-fi/fantasy that I've seen."[10] For his role as Zimmerman in "Requiem", Robin Dunne has been nominated for the upcoming 2009 Constellation Award for "Best Male Performance in a 2008 Science Fiction Television Episode."[15]

Ashley Magnus

Ashley Magnus, played by Emilie Ullerup (Webisodes, main Season 1–2 episode 3) is the daughter of Helen Magnus and John Druitt. After her conception Helen kept the frozen embryo for over a century. When she could no longer bear the loneliness from her longevity and from losing Druitt,[3] though she is at first unaware of it, she retrieves the embryo. Despite what Ashley lacks in behavioral skills, she more than makes up for it as an expert monster hunter, becoming proficient in using advanced weaponry and technology. Ashley is quite close to her mother and provides a counterbalance to Helen's desire to protect Abnormals, as she normally doesn't hesitate in terminating hostile ones and using whatever methods necessary to capture targets. She is on good terms with Sylvio (known as Ernie in the Web series) and his men, though Helen thinks otherwise. In "The Five", she learns that Druitt is her father (she was made aware of it in the fourth Webisode),[2] and eventually comes to accept it.[19]

In the Season 1 finale "Revelations", Ashley and Henry Foss break into a Cabal weapons facility to retrieve the files relating to "Lazarus", the weapon used to turn Abnormals on Humans, but are captured by the Cabal, who turn her into an Abnormal, inheriting her father's teleportation abilities. After the two escape, she turns against her team, steals the vial of Vampire-blood taken by the team to cure the weapon, and escapes to the Cabal facility on Easter Island, where she is formally welcomed to The Cabal.[20] In the season 2 premiere "End of Nights", the Cabal use the Vampire-blood to convert her into a Vampire-hybrid, which apparently destroys her personality. They then use her DNA to create five more hybrids, who start taking down the Sanctuary network. During an attack against the Old City facility, Ashley reasserts her original personality long enough to save her mother, apparently killing herself in the process by teleporting while the EM shield is up with the last hybrid.[5] Magnus believes Ashley survives, but her searches turn up fruitless; Magnus is forced to accept that she is gone.[6]

Henry Foss

Ryan Robbins plays Henry Foss

Henry Foss, played by Ryan Robbins (Webisodes, recurring Season 1, main Season 2– ) is the descendant of Gregory Magnus' first weaponsmith and is a friend of Ashley's and of Bigfoot's. He is a self-proclaimed geek in computer science, as well as a weapons designer, including the construction of a short-wave sonic weapon,[21] and often supplies new gear to Ashley for missions, as well as regularly maintaining Sanctuary's defenses such as an EM shield, keeping them working just as well.[3] Like many among the Sanctuary, he is an Abnormal, a werewolf (a class nine hyper-accelerated protean life form). He takes diazepam for an unknown reason, perhaps to suppress his werewolf abilities.[2] He considers surgery from Helen to rid his werewolf side, but chooses not to in the end.[19] His ability has proven useful, including an incident where he is able to harness his power and escape from the Cabal, who plan to turn him into a werewolf permanently.[20]

Actor Ryan Robbins described his role as "by far the easiest to work on," compared to his other prominent roles in television, including Ladon Radim in Stargate Atlantis, and Charlie Connor in Battlestar Galactica.[22] Foss was a recurring character in Season 1, but will be upgraded to a main character for Season 2.[23] For his role as Henry Foss in "Edward", Ryan Robbins won a Leo Award for "Best Guest Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series."[14]

Bigfoot

"Bigfoot",[24] also known as the big guy, played by Christopher Heyerdahl, who also plays John Druitt (Webisodes, main Season 1– ) is an intelligent Neanderthal-like species, and a former patient of Dr. Magnus. Before he met Magnus, he liked to scare children.[25] Magnus retrieved him and has said to have removed "more than a few bullets" from him, and when he refused to leave her, she appointed him a place in her staff, where he mostly acts as a butler, chauffeur, body guard and general handy man.[3] He is allergic to flowers. He admits to Will Zimmerman that he once scared him for fun during his childhood.[25] Though he does appear to be afraid of him at first, Will grows to respect and befriend him. In the season 1 finale, he becomes infected with the Cabal bioweapon designed to turn abnormals against humans, and is confined to a cell, with the team hoping that a vial of Vampire blood used to try and stop the weapon would reverse his rampage.[20] In the season 2 premier, Bigfoot refuses to take the cure Tesla has developed, because taking anything made by humans would be against his people's beliefs, even though he is already an outcast to them. However, he eventually takes the serum to help his friends battle the Vampire-hybrids, after some persuasion by Magnus.[5]

Kate Freelander

Kate Freelander, played by Agam Darshi (main Season 2– ) is a con-artist with Cabal connection and has a vast knowledge of their tactics and movements. She was born in Mumbai but raised in Chicago, and left after her father (who was a safecracker to a gang) was murdered by Jimmy, former gang member who later assists Magnus.[26] She first appears in the second season premiere, "End of Nights". She reluctantly switches sides to the Sanctuary after she is head hunted by the Cabal, and assists them combating the Vampire-hybrids.[5] She reluctantly becomes a member of the Sanctuary, taking over Ashley's duties, and helps recapture an Abnormal she accidentally released that now thinks she is its mother.[6] In an alternate future, she and Will had a son named Magnus Zimmerman, though being in the probable future, their relationship never took place.[7]

John Druitt

For the actual Jack the Ripper suspect of the same name, see Montague John Druitt
Christopher Heyerdahl plays "Bigfoot", and John Druitt

Montague John Druitt,[27] played by Christopher Heyerdahl (Webisodes, recurring Season 1–2) is the primary antagonist of the opening webisodes and TV pilot. He is a member of "The Five" during the Victorian era and Helen's former lover.[28] As a member of "The Five," he has the ability to teleport at will. [25] However, in one instance, he was taken host by an energy creature, which drives him into homicidal behaviour, and becomes Jack the Ripper, murdering eight prostitutes.[3][29] He reappears in "Sanctuary for All", where he allows himself to be captured by his daughter, Ashley and brought to the Sanctuary to confront Helen, since he is dying. He sabotages the Sanctuary's defenses and uses his power to put Ashley's life in danger to force Helen to give him her blood, which he says she gave him to save his life once before. She acquiesces, but gives him a poisoned sample; his body becomes unstable and he teleports out.[3] In "The Five," he is revealed to have been revived by fellow "Five" member, Nikola Tesla. When Druitt refuses to join his cause, Tesla tortures him, but that apparently either weakens or otherwise disables the energy creature, and abates his violent tendencies. He escapes and captures Ashley, in order for her to help him save Magnus from Nikola Tesla, who he believes is set to kill her. He convinces Ashley, and they rescue Magnus from Tesla and the Cabal in Rome.[2]

He returns again in "Revelations" to aid the Sanctuary team in stopping the Cabal from bringing about a war between humans and Abnormals with the biological weapon "Lazarus". Aided with other members of the "Five", the group successfully retrieves the vial of pure vampire blood needed to find a cure for the weapon. However, in the end, the vial is stolen by Ashley, who defects to the Cabal, by whom she was brainwashed previously.[20] After his daughter is apparently killed, he teams up with Tesla and manages to take down several Cabal cells.[6] After returning to the Sanctuary, he reverts back to a psychotic murderer, due to the energy creature reasserting itself. The energy creature is released, and locks down the building to kill everyone inside. Druitt saves everybody by teleporting to the same area as the creature, allowing it to take him host again, and then teleporting away. His current status remains unknown.[29]

When Christopher Heyerdahl was offered a role in the web series, he read several characters and got interested in Druitt, immediately admiring the character. He was surprised yet elated that he got the part of Druitt.[30] Jason Hughes of TV Squad said that Heyerdahl has done a good job at playing sinister, and that the actor fits the stereotype for tall, pale and bald antagonists.[18] For his role as Druitt in "Revelations (Part 2)", Christopher Heyerdahl was nominated for a Leo Award for "Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series."[31]

Recurring characters

Nikola Tesla

For the real life electrical engineer on whom the character is based, see Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla, played by Jonathon Young (recurring Season 1–2) is a member of the Five, where the vampire blood he was injected with activated his dormant Vampiric genes, resulting in him becoming part-vampire, as well as gaining the ability to control electricity.[2] He also has a taste for expensive wine.[5] He despises humanity for destroying the pure-blooded vampires centuries ago. Tesla eventually leaves the Five and goes underground for over 60 years to resurrect his vampiric ancestor. He attempts to get John Druitt to join him, but John refuses, forcing Tesla to torture him, though this unwittingly restores Druitt's sanity. Tesla wants Helen to join him also, but she refuses, even after he kills and resurrects the Cabal members who are hunting them. He is seemingly killed by Druitt before Tesla can kill her.[2] He later regenerates and returns alone to Bhalasaam, the lost city which housed the last of the vampires. He reluctantly joins the rest of the Five in undergoing various trials to gain a vial of vampire blood needed to stop the Cabal's bioweapon Lazarus. In his trial, he is forced to endure a severe electrical charge.[20]

In the second season, he develops a cure for the Lazarus virus and a weapon to neutralise the powers of Vampire-hybrids, who attempt to take down the Sanctuary network.[5] He later aids Druitt in taking down several Cabal cells.[6] Later, Tesla opens a clinic in Mexico, which he uses to infect drug-addicted teenagers with a treatment that will slowly change them into Vampires in 30 years. However, he overlooks the possibility that they may die within the 30-year development. One of his patients dies and subsequently resurrects in a car crash, only to kill all of his friends from the clinic, thereby activating the vampire genes and resurrecting them as well. Tesla teams up with the Sanctuary to reverse the transformation, but loses his own Vampiric powers in the process. He then decides to continue in his efforts to take over the world and also discovers that he has the ability to use magnetic forces.[32] Jonathon Young plays Tesla during a theatrical tour from "The Electric Company", as well as win festivals with it.[22] For his role as Nikola Tesla, Young received a 2009 Leo Award nomination for "Best Guest Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series," along with Ryan Robbins; the latter won the award.[31]

James Watson

Peter Wingfield plays James Watson

James Watson, played by Peter Wingfield (recurring Season 1) is a member of "The Five", who displays great intelligence, enough to build a powered exoskeleton to keep him alive for over a century. Like other members of the Five, Watson is an allusion to a historical figure. The in-universe story is that Conan Doyle patterned Holmes' deductive genius on Watson. However, out of respect of Watson's privacy, Conan Doyle created the "Holmes" pseudonym for the detective, and named the sidekick "Watson."

He is the head of the UK Sanctuary. He had a friendship with John Druitt, until he realised that Druitt was Jack the Ripper, the man he wanted to investigate and capture. In "Revelations" he assists the rest of the Five to acquire a vial of vampire blood to stop the Cabal, who plans to launch the bioweapon "Lazarus" to infect the abnormals and turn them against humans. They retrieve the vial through tests, one testing his intelligence. However, by the time they retrieve the vial, his exoskeleton fails, and ages over 100 years. Before he dies, he tells Will to think of what they missed, since the retrieval seemed too easy.[20]

Joe Kavanaugh

Kavan Smith plays Joe Kavanaugh

Joe Kavanaugh, played by Kavan Smith (Webisodes, recurring Season 1) is a Detective for the Old City Police Department. He seems unappreciative of Zimmerman's work, and rejects his theories in certain crime scenes.[3] However, after Zimmerman leaves to join the Sanctuary, Kavanaugh occasionally finds himself asking Zimmerman's opinion with other unusual cases, including one incident in "Edward", and with time gains respect for Zimmerman's talents and beliefs.[19]

Clara Griffin

Clara Griffin, played by Christine Chatelain (recurring Season 1–2) is the granddaughter of Nigel Griffin, who was a member of "The Five" who had inherited the power of invisibility. His powers were passed on to his daughter, and to Clara after he dies of natural causes. The Sanctuary finds her in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she reluctantly joins the team to stop the Cabal's "Lazarus" bioweapon. She uses her invisibility powers to gather a key to acquire a vial of vampire blood to stop Lazarus, though it is later stolen by Ashley who defects to the Cabal.[20] In Season 2 she has a relationship with Will.[17] However, she is killed by Vampire-hybrids, who are able to see through her invisibility.[5]

Dana Whitcomb

Dana Whitcomb, played by Lynda Boyd (recurring Season 1–2), is the director of Operations and Logistics in the Cabal, and oversees several of their operations, including the Lazarus virus[20] and the conversion of Ashley Magnus into a Vampire hybrid.[5] After the Sanctuary defeat the Cabal in the beginning of the second season, Whitcomb goes on the run. However, Druitt is able to track her down, though her fate is unknown.[6]

Terrance Wexford

Paul McGillion plays Wexford

Terrance Wexford, played by Paul McGillion (Webisodes, recurring Season 2), is an Abnormal and expert on ancient artifacts. He first appeared in the sixth webisode, informing Magnus the nature of The Morrígan.[33] His appearance was cut from "Fata Morgana" in the TV adaption. In the TV adaption, however, he is the leader of the New York Sanctuary. The Network appoints him in charge over Magnus once they learn that she kept alive "Big Bertha", apparently the most dangerous Abnormal on the Earth. He attempts to kill her, but this only succeeds in angering her enough to cause a tsunami.[9] There is a possibility for him to return in the third season.[34][35]

Declan McRae

Declan McRae, played by Robert Lawrenson (recurring Season 2), is the head of the London Sanctuary.[5] After the base falls victim to the Vampire hybrids, he occasionally assists the Old City base in their operations.[36] In "Veritas", he takes temporary charge of the Sanctuary while Magnus is charged with murdering Bigfoot, until it is revealed Magnus did this to stop a member of the telepathic "Triad" whom she suspected for several years.[8]
