Being Human (USA)/Characters


The Roommates

Meet the inhabitants of Boston's scariest houseshare.


Aidan

A vampire who was a merciless killer for two hundred years before he decided to clean up his act.

Josh

Josh was a premedical student before getting turned into a werewolf.

Sally Malik

A young ghost who is dealing with abandonment issues.

Humans

Humans living in Boston who interact with the cast. They don't generally stay human very long.

Bernie

A young boy from the neighborhood Aidan befriends. Killed when he walked into the street and was hit by a car. Rebecca turns him thinking it would make Aidan happy, but Aidan later kills him because he can't control himself.

Danny Angeli

Sally's fiancé (now ex, as their relationship was ended by her death) owns the house now rented by Josh and Aidan. Responsible for Sally's death.

  • The Atoner: he is substantially less evil after briefly coming back from Limbo
  • Back for the Dead: A twofer. We find out he's dead AND he gets reaped in the same episode.
  • Muggle
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: to the point where he assumes she's sleeping around after her ring falls down the drain. He then "accidentally" kills her.
  • Is That the Best You Can Do?: Towards Sally's ghost.
  • Jerkass: Wasn't very nice to Sally when she was alive, killed her, and when she tries to haunt him he taunts her about it
  • Took a Level in Badass: He picked up on a lot of ghost tricks more quickly than Sally did after he died. He says this was due to him dying in prison. It doesn't help him.
  • The Sociopath: How in the hell did he get married to Sally in the first place?

Emily

Josh's younger sister.

Julia

Josh's ex-fiancee, who he left at the altar when he became a werewolf.

Nora

The nurse Josh has a rather hot and cold relationship with.

Zoe Gonzales

A nurse who can see ghosts and is able to reincarnate them.

The Boston Family

A secret society of vampires active in Boston. Aidan is a high-ranking individual in the Family, but has been trying to distance himself from them since he decided to live like a human.

Bishop

Aidan's sire.

Henry

A vampire that was created by Aidan.

  • Ambition Is Evil: What drives Henry. Even after an 80 year exile he desires power and status.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: He and Aidan have a tendency to screw each other over, and then save each other.
  • Flayed Alive: As retribution by Suren.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: As a human, Henry was rather timid and tame, if expressing curiosity and desire to experience being a soldier and killing. As a vampire, he's cocky, bold, and perfectly willing to act on his ambitions and killer instincts.
  • Handsome Lech
  • The Medic: Before he was turned.

Marcus

Bishop's Dragon.

Mother

Head of the Vampire Council.

Rebecca Flynt

Turned by Bishop after a one-night stand with Aidan.

Suren

Mother's vampire daughter and in Season 2 the ruler of Boston

Other Monsters

Brynn and Connor McLean

Two purebred werewolf twins that offer to fund Josh's research.

  • And I Must Scream: They describe their human existence like this. Josh is uncomfortable with heightened senses and moods the few days before a full moon, they feel that way every moment they're not wolves.
  • Bullying A Vampire: Taunting Aidan was probably not the best move, Connor. Especially since he had a rifle loaded with silver bullets.
  • Corrupt the Cutie: They basically do this to Nora.
  • Jerkass: very much so.
  • Morality Chain: Nora suggests that Connor was this to Brynn, not the other way around. Of course, this is a relative chain since Connor's idea of a good time is torturing vampires and hunting them down for fun. One can only imagine what Nora might have seen Brynn do without Connor's influence.
  • Our Werewolves Are Different: They're pure-bred werewolves whose senses are constantly heightened, not just a day or two before the full moon.
  • Puny Humans: What they think of everyone else.
  • Rich Idiot With No Day Job

Josh: I'm pretty sure she had a pony when she was a little girl... right until the day she ATE it...

Ray

The werewolf that turned Josh.

  • Broken Pedestal
  • Fantastic Racism: Against vampires. Although considering how vampires treat his kind, it's somewhat understandable.
  • I Have a Family: When Josh has him at gunpoint, Ray references this.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: He tracks down Josh because he wants a measure of normalcy that he used to have before he became a werewolf.
    • The second season reveals that he went back to his wife and son.

The Reaper/"Scott"

A powerful ghost that appears to Sally in a dream. He's actually a part of Sally's subconsciousness.

  • Grim Reaper
  • Jekyll and Hyde: The Reaper is actually a split personality of Sally's, and represents an imbalance in her psyche
  • Professional Killer: He claims that it's his job to maintain balance in the afterlife by destroying ghosts that have gone bad or refuse to move on.
