Actress: Tracey Cook -------- -vampire. possibly a fledgling of Janette, more likely an "orphan" of another taken in by Janette. seems to be a p-t bouncer, p-t dancer, and a general help with the club to Janette. She also tried to put the moves onto Nick's partner, Schanke, until she was stopped by Janette. ==================== BALTHAZAR, GRACE seasons 1 & 2 Actress: Sandi Ross -------- -human. A large black lady who is an assistant at the morgue, sometimes on the same shift with Natalie, and is her best friend aside from Nick. ==================== BOURBON season 3 Actor: Normand Bissonette -------- -younger vampire, believed to be a minor noble in his mortal life. Estimated aprox 200 years, but thats a guess only. Loves to have fun. Was part of a "pack" for a while that included Urs, Screed, and Vachon at least. Usually seen in flashbacks only. He also seems pretty arrogant and a bit of a jerk who prefers his women to be docile or subservient. ==================== COHEN, AMANDA season 2 Actress: Natsuko Omaha -------- -human. 2nd season of Forever Knight had Nick and Schanke transfer to a different precinct where this married Jewish Japanese woman was their Captain; strict & firm. Has at least one daughter. (Never heard anything canon as to her being Jewish Japanese, but the actress made the observation in an interview.) ==================== DuCHARME, JANETTE seasons 1 & 2 Actress: Deborah Duchene -------- -1200 yr old vampire. She was a minor noble sold into prostitution by her father (believed to be gampling debts he couldn't pay). She was brought across by LaCroix to give her the opportunity to 'repay' a man who raped her and to 'repay' the man who owned her and other women. In this lifetime she is the owner of a nightclub called THE RAVEN. For a long number of years she was Nick's commonlaw wife. Now they are friends, and *occasionally* bedmates even though she knows his heart belongs to the mortal Natalie, simply because he won't kill her during the act but vampires usually lose their self control and kill a mortal partner during the act. Because of her past she keeps the RAVEN as a haven for hookers, a safe place they can come when not working and where their pimps or "boyfriends" won't be allowed to harass them. At the beginning of the 3rd season, to give herself space since she has begun to think perhaps Nick might just be right about his quest for mortality & doesn't *want* to think that, she moves on. She makes 1 appearance later in 3rd season, having accidentally become mortal. When she is fatally injured, Nick brings her back across against her will, and she leaves angry. She likes Nat okay, but is not liked by Nat who feels she has to compete against her for Nick. ==================== KNIGHT, NICK (surnames used in past incl. de Brabant & Chevalier) seasons 1, 2 & 3 Actor: Geraint Wyn Davies -------- -800yr old vampire. a crusader in the holy lands in his youth, he became disillusioned and allowed himself brought across. For a long time he was happy as a vampire, but now seeks to regain his mortality & humanity, and is hoping to "repay society for his sins". He currently is a nightshift homicide detective on the metro Toronto police. Natalie is his girlfriend, and helping him with his "allergies" (sunlight, food, etc.) Nick is a very emotional person, constantly struggling with himself about his wants, needs and morals. He has a tendency to act first and think after. He is a moody person, often angsty or guilt-ridden, which sometimes reflect more of his inner self than what is going on in the outside world. He is given to extremes of emotion - extremely happy when in a good mood, almost suicidal when he's down. ==================== LaCROIX, LUCIEN/LUCIUS seasons 1, 2 & 3 Actor: Nigel Bennett -------- -almost 2000 yr old vampire. He was a Roman General prior to being brought across by his biological daughter (Divia) when Vesuvius erupted destroying Pompeii in 79ad, when she became his immortal sire. When she tried to change their relationship into the sexual one common to, but not always a part of a sire/fledgeling relationship, he refused her then beheaded her. Divia returned in one 3rd season episode to take revenge on LaCroix for his early attempt to kill her, resulting in her being destroyed by Nick after a murderous spree killing all she could who meant anything to her former father. Although LaCroix was always a hard, manipulative and domineering person, the events of his unlife involving Divia have affected and has been a hidden yet driving force in his life since, possibly magnifying those traits. He is a control freak, driven to control & influence those around him. He makes vamps easily, usually for his own ammusement or to play with history. He also angers easily and has a short temper. He is the vampiric 'father' of both Nick & Janette, but dislikes Natalie who is such a strong influence in his son's life. ==================== LAMBERT, NATALIE seasons 1, 2 & 3 Actress: Catherine Disher -------- -human. A night shift coroner for Toronto. Met Nick while interning with the department when he was brought in dead on her 28th birthday. Began her relationship with Nick as a doctor/patient, but it grew to friendship and she also became his confidante. Now they love each other. Because of the confines of series tv their relationship was never resolved "officially", however pseudo-official, according to the actors who portrayed the characters, they did love each other, but were rarely intimate due to the likelihood of a vampire killing the mortal during the act. Knows about the vampires & helps the vampire community. Natalie is a very career-driven woman who is a very strong and independant person. ==================== MIKLOS seasons 1 & 2 (?) Actor: Earl Pastko -------- -vampire. possibly a fledgeling of Janette. Dark complexion, mediteranean looking. Works as a bartender at the RAVEN for Janette. ==================== REESE, JOE season 3 Actor: Blu Mankuma -------- -human. Same precinct as season two, Joe was promoted to Captain when Amanda Cohen was killed in the same explosion that killed Schanke. He is a big & tall black fellow, who is jinxed by the water cooler (works for everyone else, but not him). Impatient but controls it mostly. He is married, his wife's name being Denise. He also seems to be a social climber, possibly due to being insecure in his new position as Captain. He doesn't stop Tracy from doing dangerous things, but is forever reminding her to be careful because he doesn't want to have to face her father the commissioner with bad news. ==================== SCHANKE, Donald seasons 1 & 2 Actor: John Kapelos -------- -human. A nightshift homicide detective & Nick's partner at work. Married to Myra, they have a daughter Jenny who apparently calls Nick "Uncle Nick". He dies in an explosion in the first episode of 3rd season. LOVES souvlaki and loves to breathe garlic breath at Nick to be 'funny'. He is a heavyset & balding man who tries hard to be a good dad. ==================== SCREED season 3 Actor: Greg Kramer -------- A bald carouche vampire & friend of Vachon of unknown age. Some believe him to be an accidental fledgeling of Vachon before he knew what he was doing. In his mortal life he was sailor. Very thick accent, Cockney I think. Carouche are not normally accepted by vampires because they are considered a lesser form of vampire due to lower abilities because they feed off animals rather than humans. Whatever source of blood a vampire feeds on when they first are brought across is what becomes their prefered meal thereafter, and those who feed off animals rather than human are considered substandard vampires by most vampires. As a sailor in the 1500's or 1600's, his best source to feed as a newly made vampire was rats, so "Squeelers" have remained his primary source of food. ==================== SIDNEY seasons 1, 2 & 3 -------- -Natalie's pet cat, a big fluffy grey tom. ==================== STONETREE season 1 Actor: Gary Farmer -------- -human. Captain of thr precinct that Nick and Schanke work at in 1st season. He is Native indian, and plays the accordion. Has trophies for same in his house. I don't think he's married since one ep has him give Nick keys to get something from his dresser, and no mention of "if my wife's away let yourself in" or anything similar. Stonetree seems to have realized Nick was something supernatural, but does nothing about it, and actually disuades his partner from investigating him. He seems to be of the opinion that if Nick is trying to work as a cop and do good deeds, why try to stop him just because he's supernatural. Very accepting, also laid-back and easy-going. ==================== URS season 3 Actress: Kristen Lehmen -------- -aprox 100 year old vampire, no longer -barely- a fledgeling. She is the vampiric daughter of Vachon. Like Tracy she is slim but shapely with medium length very blonde hair. Similarities seem to stop there since Urs seems to have a very dependent personality, whereas Tracy is more of a go-getter. Minor character, but important in some of Vachon's flashbacks. She was a singer and dancer in the saloons of the old west in her mortal days. Some think there is the possibility of an Urs/LaCroix relationship because of a line in one episode where he refers to her as a goddess. She also seems suicidal at times, overall melancholy over being a vampire. She also seems to be looking to please 'daddy' by pleasing any male old enough to fit the father image, another reason some think there to be a relationship between her and LaCroix. ==================== VACHON, JAVIER (spanish not french = pronounced have-e-are) season 3 Actor: Ben Bass -------- -aprox 450 yr old vampire. Vachon, as he is usually called, has long dark hair, large dark eyes, and tends to blink a lot. Good listener. As a mortal he was a conquistador, who was brought across by an incan priestess in the new world. It *seems* that as a result he is one of the few vampires NOT adversely affected by holy or blessed objects. He lives in an abandoned church. Some fans believe it was never deconsecrated but that because other vampires *think* it was don't have problems, but I don't think that's official. Seems to have a fascination with Tracy Vetter. Normally moves often and runs from any kind of responsibility, but this time he's taken on Tracy as a friend at least, taking responsibility for her safety within the vampire comunity. Seems to be waiting for her to make up her mind if they are just friends or are more than that, and takes his lead from her. He seems uninterested in or bored by most mortal goings-on. Very laid-back, perceived as a "slacker" by many. Possibly has a fear of commitment. ==================== VETTER, BARBARA season 3 Actress: Sharry Flett -------- -human. Seen during only one episode. She is an alcoholic and doesn't have a very good relationship with Tracy. Although she is seen, she was pretty much undeveloped as a character, except for her alcoholism. It is known she didn't want her daughter to become a cop, and it seems that she resented her husband's "closeness" to their daughter. ==================== VETTER, RICHARD season 3 Actor: [No actor since he was never seen on screen.] -------- -human. Tracy's father is a police comissioner. Causes a lot of trouble for Tracy. Gets her promotions she doesn't want, won't listen to her about anything; stereotypical "I'm your father & I know what's best even if you are an adult" relationship with his daughter. NEVER seen on screen, only see people on the phone talking to him, trying to get a word into the conversation! Very controlling and domineering. Divorces Tracy's mom during 3rd season. Was know to have cheated on his wife before that. He also tends to "fix" things for his friends if they have troubles, such as when he suppressed and covered-up a history of violence for a rogue officer named Bruce who was like an older brother to Tracy. ==================== VETTER, TRACY season 3 Actress: Lisa Ryder -------- -human. Nick's partner after Schanke died. She also has a tie to the vampire world in form of her sorta boyfriend, Vachon. Her attraction seems to be part that she likes him and part that because her father is a police comissioner (& unpleasable) she seems to have a bit of a bad-boy fettish, and he comes across as exactly that. She's very controlled by her dad, and in some ways has a very anal personality, being obsessed with order (she alphabetizes her fridge and cupboard contents!) and is a perfectionist. She is however, VERY open-minded and after the initial shock of meeting a vampire, is otherwise unphased by knowledge of such existing. She is definitely a "go-getter", and seems to *always* be drinking coffee. She doesn't know that Nick is a vampire, nor that Nat knows about vamps either. ====================
