List of Haven characters


is a supernatural drama television series loosely based on the Stephen King novel, The Colorado Kid. The show, filmed on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, is an American/Canadian co-production. Haven is also the name of the town where the protagonist goes, discovering numerous townsfolk afflicted with supernatural problems. Haven residents refer to these problems collectively as 'The Troubles'. Each episode deals with an incident arising from the town's Troubles. The following list includes all the principal fictional characters who have appeared in the television series.

Main characters

Audrey Parker

Played by Emily Rose. Audrey is an FBI agent without any personal ties or any known friendships. She is an orphan and never knew her parents. She is sent to Haven, Maine chasing an escaped prisoner and encounters Haven's supernatural Troubles in the process. After successfully resolving a situation involving a Troubled person she is invited to stay by Chief Wuornos, both for her ability to "see what's right in front of " and her sympathetic method of dealing with those afflicted by The Troubles. Audrey also seems immune to The Troubles, making her better adapted to helping those afflicted. Initially, she is "on loan" to Haven's Police Department, but eventually quits the FBI in order to take a permanent job with Haven PD and continue helping the town in dealing with The Troubles.
Audrey is further linked to the town when she is given an old newspaper clipping with the heading "Who Killed The Colorado Kid?", bearing a picture of a woman named Lucy Ripley who strongly resembles her. Audrey spends much of her time investigating Lucy's past and the possibility that she is her mother, but she uncovers evidence that Lucy may, in fact, be Audrey herself. In the Season 1 finale, she concludes that she and Lucy are the same person, moments before a woman identifying herself as "Special Agent Audrey Parker" confronts her and Nathan. As Audrey gets to know Audrey #2, she discovers that they share memories or, perhaps more accurately, her memories are those of Audrey #2.
Audrey seems to have had more than one past life, for, beside the evidence that she is in fact Lucy Ripley, in Fear and Loathing there is another woman apparently from the past who looks like Audrey and Lucy. When Dave Teagues sees the Troubled Jackie Clarke, who appears to the people who look at her as their worst fear, he sees a woman with curly red hair, 1950s clothing and Audrey's face. Dave's fear arises from an earlier outbreak of The Troubles, so the person who is now Audrey appears to return to Haven whenever there is an outbreak of The Troubles. On another occasion, Audrey discovers she can instinctively play the piano, even though Audrey Parker never learned.
In Business As Usual, Audrey finally meets the real Lucy Ripley. In the 1980s Audrey, as Lucy Ripley, arrived in Haven and helped the Troubled. The real Lucy explains that Audrey/Lucy discovered something about the Troubles, how they began and possibly how they could be stopped. On the run from someone who wanted to "erase" her, Audrey/Lucy sought out the real Lucy, telling her that one day, she would seek her out. At the end of a cycle of Troubles, Audrey entered a building that appeared as a barn and had her memory erased. However, Audrey/Lucy refused to enter the barn and tried to escape, though she was captured and brought to the barn, as explained by Jordan McKee in Burned. After learning that Simon Crocker was one of the ones who was chasing her, Audrey confronted Duke, and the pair discovered that the Crocker family has been trying to kill her for some time.
Later the Teagues brothers have a conversation which reveals that the person who is Audrey/Lucy has visited Haven before under the name of Sarah Vernon and - as Dave mentioned - before that time at least once more under a name unknown to the Teagues. Sarah is a nurse sent to Haven by her captain—who is Audrey's Agent Howard—to look after returning veterans from WWII. When Nathan is thrown back to 1955, he and Sarah have a brief relationship. The Colorado Kid is the result.
In season 4, Audrey gets trapped inside the Barn and receives a new identity and set of memories, now believed herself to be a woman named Lexie DeWitt, Audrey was spending her days tending bar at the Oatley Tap Room, a façade created by the dying Barn. She believed that she was an ordinary girl who had been working at the Oatley Tap Room with her new friend Rhonda for a month, when a mysterious stranger named William started to change things. Audrey also discovers that her original personality is Mara, a ruthless, manipulative, mean and devious person that came from the world beyond the Void. She and William are the original creators of The Troubles and both possess the ability to create, modify, and strengthen them at will, however, Mara appears to have a particularly adept talent of controlling and manipulating the troubles. The only person she ever cares for is William, as he is her only weakness because they are connected. Her mission is to wreak havoc on Haven once again and find a way to get William back.
In season 5, they first believed Audrey was dead. Mara had taken over Audrey's body, and doing so had killed Audrey. Soon figuring out that Audrey was still alive, Audrey convinced Duke and Nathan that they needed to talk to her as if she were Audrey, so it'd be easier to come back. With Audrey dying in Mara's body, one of the troubles Duke released caused Audrey and Mara to separate into two different people. Not long after, however, Audrey started to get sick for unknown reasons. They believed at first she was troubled, but Charlotte realized that Audrey was dying because of the split. Audrey couldn't survive on her own without being in Mara's body, so she was going to die. Charlotte was the only person with the means to merge them back together, and Charlotte was going to make Mara the predominant mind in their body. Audrey was willing to sacrifice herself in Mara's body if it meant that Mara was going to be a better person, but Charlotte at the last second made Audrey the controller of their body. Towards the end of the season, Nathan, Dwight, Vincent and Audrey decided to make a new barn to destroy the Troubles. In order to do that, however, they needed to sacrifice someone's love. They had originally wanted to sacrifice Croatoan, but he didn't love anyone, so Audrey volunteered. A while after the sacrifice, she came back with a new personality as Paige and had a baby boy named James. Nathan stopped his car to help her after her car wouldn't start, linking back to the beginning of the series. In the barn Vince said that she couldn't come back as Audrey so she chose to come back as someone new so Nathan could fall in love with her all over again.

Nathan Wuornos

Played by Lucas Bryant. Nathan is a local police officer who becomes Audrey's partner. He doesn't have the sensation of touch. His relationship with his father, the Chief of Police, Garland Wuornos, is problematic. In fact, Nathan discovers he isn't his real father in the Season 1 finale when a man named Max Hansen, who also cannot feel pain, comes back to town. As time passes after the Chief's death Nathan comes more and more to appreciate him and wishes he could have asked him the right questions while he was still alive to have understood him better then. Though he will always be "the Chief", the term, once a rejection of a father, becomes a sign of affection.
Nathan has a condition that he calls idiopathic neuropathy and therefore physically can't feel anything, though his condition is a result of the Troubles. Nathan can only feel one thing: Audrey's touch. He keeps this information to himself until the end of Season 1, when he tells her. As a result, he develops intimate feelings for Audrey as they continue to work together. When Nathan is sent back to 1955, he meets Audrey's earlier incarnation, Sarah, with whom he has an affair. As a result, Sarah becomes pregnant, making Nathan the father of her son, James Cogan.
As children, Duke and his friends used their knowledge of Nathan's condition to bully him. In one instance, they had a competition to see how many tacks they could stick in Nathan's back before being caught. They then convinced Nathan to talk to a popular girl who was horrified when she saw his condition. Nathan blames Duke for triggering the return of his Trouble as it reemerged during a fight between the two of them. Because of their past, Nathan and Duke resent one another, though their mutual interest in Audrey's well-being has helped to improve their relationship.
In Fear and Loathing he temporarily has his condition "stolen" from him by the Troubled Ian Haskell. He thoroughly enjoys being able to feel again, but, when faced with Haskell's imminent death, he gives up his chance to feel to save Jackie Clark from what he considers to be a much worse affliction.
Nathan tries to infiltrate the Guard, an organization that protects the Troubled, by starting a relationship with Jordan McKee. This affair ends after she commits several bad acts including kidnapping Ginger, a Troubled child, and threatening Audrey. Unable to stop Audrey from entering the barn, Nathan tries to force Agent Howard to help. Jordan shoots Nathan, who in turn shoots Howard.
In Fallout, he is shown to be in hiding since he is being targeted by the Guard for shooting Howard and disrupting the cycle, meaning the Troubles are still happening. He reluctantly rejoins the Haven Police Department so that he can use police resources in order to try to find Audrey, in return for helping Dwight dealing with the Troubled. He intends to let Audrey kill him in order to end the Troubles once and for all.

Garland Wuornos

Garland Wuornos, played by Nicholas Campbell, was the Haven Chief of Police. He is very hard on his son, Nathan, and claims that he is trying to toughen him up so Nathan can better deal with The Troubles. The Chief has taken a liking to Audrey because she can handle The Troubles well and hopes this talent will rub off on Nathan. He offered Audrey a job with the Haven Police in return for helping her find out about the Colorado Kid murder and the identity of the woman in the picture. It is later revealed that he is Nathan's adoptive father, who took Nathan in after his real father, Max Hansen, was investigated for the murder of the Colorado Kid.
In the Season 1 finale it is revealed that Chief Wuornos is also Troubled: the cracks that are seen around Haven are the manifestations of his affliction. He had been able to control his Trouble until Max Hansen came back to town. This led to him losing control and first the lighthouse cracked up, then a crack in a road appeared that swallowed Hansen. When the struggles became too much for him, he shattered into stones rather than cause Haven to crack apart and be destroyed. Before this happens he explains that he had been holding it together for such a long time, waiting for Audrey to arrive on the scene, but not everyone is thrilled she's back.
In the Season 2 finale the ghost of Garland Wuornos returns to Haven along with a number of the Haven dead. He is proud of Nathan and gives him encouragement to continue, though discourages Nathan's feelings for Audrey. She is too important to allow feelings to cloud one's judgment and cause errors. He departs with the death of Kyle Hopkins, the Troubled gravedigger who was responsible for the ghosts' presence.
His most recent appearance was in the episode where he is found in both alternated Haven and in 1955 Haven. In the alternated Haven, he tries to help Audrey and Claire escape and in 1955 as a young boy played by sitting outside the Haven Police Station where Nathan encounters him.
