Haven Character Bios

Warning Spoilers below

 

Audrey Parker

Audrey Parker played by Emily Rose

A former FBI officer. She is now a police officer in the town of Haven. Audrey showed up around the same time as the troubles, which wreak havoc on the town. She helps troubled people, inflicted with inhuman abilities they can't control. For some reason she’s immune to the troubles. Thinking her mother is from Haven she searches for information about her and learns that she's been in Haven before as Lucy Ripley in the 80s and Sarah Vernon in the 50s. Both were young, looked exactly like she does, and helped troubled people. As Sarah she had a son, who was killed when she was Lucy but as Audrey she learns he’s still alive (and young). She also learns that she has an existing Audrey Parker’s memories she has never really worked with the FBI. But Nathan Wuornos, her police partner a man who loves her, whom she loves, has never cared about that. He of course doesn’t want her to go in the barn, a mystical place both Sarah and Lucy went into and then the troubles stopped for 27 years. But Audrey cares so much for the people of Haven she wants to stop the troubles that have killed so many people even if it means Audrey Parker will die.

  Nathan Wuornos

 

Nathan Wuornos
played by Lucas Bryant

Police chief, Nathan's trouble is that he can’t physical feel but for some reason he can feel Audrey his police partner. His father, the former police chief who died in Season 1, kept secrets from him about his work with Lucy, a prior personality of Audrey's. Nathan is still trying to figure out the troubles. Throughout Season 1-3 Audrey and Nathan have been denying their romantic feelings for each other. He met his most recent X, Jordon, when he went undercover as a member of the guard, a group that protects troubled people at any cost. Her trouble is inflicting extreme pain when she touches anyone but Nathan can’t feel it. Jordon is willing to do anything, even kidnap a little girl to make sure Audrey goes in “the barn”, so the troubles go away. But Nathan doesn't want Audrey to go in the barn because then he'll lose her.

James Cogan

 

James Cogan

Born in 1955 James is biological son of Sarah Vernon (One of Audrey’s personalities) and Nathan Wuornos (who travel back to 1955 in Season 3 and conceived him there) He was adopted by the Cogans in 1955. In the 1980s shortly after his marriage to Arla he went looking for his mother in Haven and found Lucy Ripley (One of Audrey’s personalities). While in Haven he was murdered and buried. To this day no one knows who murdered him. But Lucy believed he could be brought back to life by the barn, which isn't simply a barn, so she brought him there. James was healed and returned when Audrey was supposed to go back in the barn in Season 3. James’ wife Arla also returned to find her husband. She had been unable to go into the barn in the 1980s because her trouble had started and her skin had fallen off. For the last 27 years she had been killing and skinning people and wearing their skins most recently to gain information on where James was, deceiving those in Haven including Audrey. She also murdered people and took pieces from them to recreate her original self for James. But James found what she’d done despicable and when Arla attacked Audrey, blaming her for “ruining everything” James got in the way and was killed instead. So Audrey and Nathan left him in the barn to heal him.

Duke Crocker

Duke Crocker
played by Eric Balfour

Duke owns the restaurant “The Gull”. He lives on a boat, the same boat he uses to smuggle ‘boxes’. He doesn’t know what’s in these boxes. Against his better judgment of simply staying out of it he has been helping Audrey and Nathan help people who are troubled. Audrey trusts him but Nathan, who has been burned by Duke when he was younger, carries a grudge that, even though they work together civilly, comes out at times. In Season two everyone was surprised to learn that Duke, the major player, was married to Evelyn, who for reasons unknown Duke feels betrayed by and therefore doesn’t trust. He has good reason for Evelyn, Evi, lies to him during the Season, and when she tries to tell him the truth she’s killed by Reverend Driscal’s men. Duke later learns that Reverend Driscal knows about Duke’s family’s trouble: when blood touches his skin, his eyes turn silver and he has incredible strength and if he kills a troubled person their entire family is rid of that trouble. “Kill the man, kill the trouble” The Reverend calls it and wants Duke to kill people for him to rid the town of the troubles, thinking it's his duty to ride the town of troubled people, as a man of God. Duke's father, Simon did this and left a journal. But Duke doesn’t want to pick up where his father left off, which was trying to kill Lucy (A past personality of Audrey), who killed him instead. Duke would rather help people as he’s come to actually enjoy doing. A sweet bad boy type he made a play for Audrey before Nathan and his friendship with her almost turned into something more one night in Colorado. In love with Audrey Duke doesn’t want her to go into “the barn” either.

This includes their knowledge of the troubles as they helped both Sarah and Lucy when Audrey’s former personalities were in Haven and have researched the town’s history extensively.

This "four person tattoo" is on the arm of anyone else who joins the guard. As the guard’s leader, Vincent wants Audrey to go in the barn to protect all that are troubled.
