Aidan (Played by Sam Witwer)

Aidan was made a vampire in the 18th century and has only stopped feeding on humans (for the most part) in the last few decades. He's worked as a nurse for the past several years. Torn between his bloodthirsty instincts and his strong convictions that harming humans is wrong, life is a constant struggle. Luckily he's got friends to help him through it.
Josh (Played by Sam Huntington)

Josh's bright future was hijacked when he was turned into a werewolf and was forced to abandon his family, his fiancee and the life he once knew with no explanation. He established a lonely existence on the fringes of society, escaping to the woods each full moon for his transformation into a werewolf.

Then he met Aidan, who allowed the funny, neurotic, loyal Josh to re-emerge and helped him secure a job as an orderly in the hospital. Though nothing close to the future he had in med school, Josh takes solace that at least he's working in the medical profession.
Sally (Played by Meaghan Rath)

Sally has always been someone who speaks her mind. While in college, she fell in love with fellow student Danny and they got engaged and moved into a townhouse (now occupied by Josh and Aidan), until she was relegated to the spirit world.

In life, Sally was vivacious, smart and driven. In death, she is much the same, though her early demise left her floundering for answers and desperate for physical connection with another person.
Bishop (Played by Mark Pellegrino)

Bishop is the head of the local vampire clan. Turned into a vampire sometime during the 17th century, he travels with his sire, Carlo, and eventually turns both Aidan and his current second-in-command during the American Revolution.

In the present day, Bishop keeps up public 'human' appearances by owning a mortuary and acting as a lieutenant in the Boston Police Department, where he uses his mental abilities and influence to hide crimes committed by vampires.
