Haven/Characters
Audrey Parker / Lucy Ripley / Sarah
Played by Emily Rose
A young FBI agent with an eye for the supernatural who arrives at the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. After seeing an old picture in a newspaper of a woman who may be her mother and discovering that she has a knack for cases involving the Troubles, she decides to stay for a while to try and learn more about her past and help the Troubled. She later resigns from the FBI to remain permanently with the Haven PD.

- Cool Loser
- Dude Magnet
- Fake Memories: Each time she comes to Haven, she has the memories of someone else. Audrey, Lucy, and Sarah are only the latest.
- Friendless Background
- Identity Amnesia
- Mysterious Parent: Lucy. Then subverted; Lucy isn't Audrey's mother, she's her.
- Older Than They Look: She's apparently been visiting and protecting Haven in different identities throughout history.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right
- She Cleans Up Nicely

Nathan Wuornos
Played by Lucas Bryant
A Haven PD officer and the son of Chief Wuornos, he quickly becomes Audrey's police partner and friend. In season 2, he becomes the Chief of Police after his father's death.
- Berserk Button: If he thinks you've harmed Audrey, start praying.
- Cuteness Proximity: Around babies.
- Disability Superpower: Because he has no sense of touch, his sight, hearing, smell, and taste are boosted.
- Feel No Pain: He cannot feel pain, heat, cold, or any touch other than Audrey's.
- Happily Adopted: When it comes out that Max Hansen is his biological father and not Garland Wuornos, he continues to consider the Chief his real father. Which is somewhat ironic considering the rather antagonistic relationship the two had.
- Healing Factor: Any injuries he takes seem to heal in a matter of hours, with no scars.
- Inadequate Inheritor: His father is trying to make him tougher so he'll be strong enough to handle the Troubles when he is gone. He doesn't exactly think he's inadequate, just not ready.
- Only Sane Man
- Screw Destiny: His reply when his father's ghost warns him that if he and Audrey fall in love, Audrey will die.
- "Well Done, Son" Guy: Averted. He hold a great deal of respect for his father despite their rather-distant-on-both-sides relationship, but he doesn't need his approval or compliments. Of course, it didn't help that said compliment was on his ability to shoot a shapeshifter impersonating his partner in cold blood.
Duke Crocker

A local smuggler, amongst other things, who is often caught up in the investigations. Nathan dislikes and mistrusts him, and he's not too fond of Nathan either, but he becomes something of a friend to Audrey and is more often than not their ally.

- Chivalrous Pervert
- Consummate Liar
- Daddy Had a Good Reason For Abandoning You: He can't even meet his daughter Jean, because being near her will kill him.

- Handsome Devil
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold
- Kick the Dog: Just about everything he did to Nathan in backstory. We, the audience, might not like him as much if it were done onscreen.
- Likes Older Women: When he's reacquainted with Vanessa, who used to babysit him as a child, he's mesmerized by her beauty and hits on her. The other characters comment on this a lot.
- Loveable Rogue
- Parental Neglect: According to him, his usual conversation with his father went along the lines of being asked to go pick him up another six-pack.
- Screw Destiny: His attitude toward whatever people declare is his destiny.
