This is a list of fictional characters in the television series Warehouse 13. The article deals with the series' main and recurring characters.
Daniel Dickinson (Simon Reynolds) was the Deputy Director at Secret Service Headquarters in Washington, DC. Prior to Pete and Myka's reassignment to Warehouse 13, he is their boss. He is not happy about losing two of his best agents to some bizarre warehouse in South Dakota, unaware of its importance, and is initially determined to get them back, especially after facts about Artie's past come to light. Eventually, he sees his former agents are committed to their new positions, and they part ways. In the Season 2 episode "Vendetta", he is murdered for his knowledge about Artie's past.
Mrs. Irene Frederic (C. C. H. Pounder) is the director of the Warehouse program, and Caretaker of Warehouse 13. A shadowy figure who suddenly appears and disappears, she is Artie's immediate superior, and answers to the Regents. As the Caretaker, some sort of mental link exists between her and the Warehouse, giving her, among other advantages, a full mental inventory of all artifacts in Warehouse 13.[1] Another result of this is that her life and the Warehouse's life are linked; if one dies, both die. As such, she is immune to natural death, resulting in her appearance never changing in spite of her age. In the "Pilot" episode, Dickinson's research uncovers that she worked for the Treasury Department in the 1950s. It is revealed in the season 2 episode "Where and When" that she has been in charge at the Warehouse since at least 1961. Mrs. Frederic has at least one child, a son, but he is noted not to be a Warehouse agent. In the Season 3 finale, she dies due to the Warehouse's destruction.
Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) is a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Agent recruited by Mrs. Frederic, after Myka resigns, to be Pete's new partner. He always knows when someone is lying. He is a Buddhist. When Myka is reinstated, Jinks is partnered with Claudia Donovan, and they form a close friendship. In the Season 3 episode "Trials", when Claudia accuses him of hitting on her, he explains that he is gay. He was close to his older sister, Olivia, who, at age 20, was killed by a stray bullet from a gang shooting. Her tragic death motivated Jinks to join the ATF. His nickname is Jinxy. In the episode "The 40th Floor", he pulls a gun on Mrs. Frederic when she tortures Sally Stukowski for information, which allows Stukowski to escape and results in Jink's dismissal. In the episode "Shadows", Stukowski's former employer announces that he plans to recruit Jinks to replace her. In the first half of the season 3 finale, "Emily Lake", he is revealed to be a mole still loyal to the Warehouse and the Regents. He is killed by Sykes, but not before making a secret video recording that leads the Warehouse agents to Sykes' whereabouts. Near the end of the second part of the finale, against Mrs. Frederic's wishes, Claudia says that she plans to use Johann Maelzel's metronome to revive Jinks. According to the QR code on Steve's information panel, Walter Sykes killed Steve Jinks.
Helena G. Wells, a.k.a. H. G. Wells (Jaime Murray), was a British Agent of Warehouse 12 in the late 19th century, and also the female author behind the works attributed to her brother Charles; the ideas were hers, but he wrote them down and so received the credit. She requested to be bronzed—cryogenically frozen and coated in bronze—after grief stemming from the murder of her daughter led her to misuse of Warehouse artifacts, culminating in the death of a fellow agent. She was released by James MacPherson in the season 2 premiere "Time Will Tell", whereupon she escaped custody, only to return and be reinstated several episodes later. In the season 2 finale she is revealed as a villain when she seizes the Minoan Trident—"the original weapon of mass destruction"—and attempts to rupture the Yellowstone Caldera and start a new ice age in the hope that a better world would take the place of the one she planned to destroy. However, Myka intervened and stopped H.G. before she could carry out her plan in its entirety. Afterwards, H.G. was taken away by the Regents to be detained in an unspecified manner, implied to be worse than bronzing. In the season 3 premiere, she is sent by the Regents to visit Myka and convince her to rejoin the Warehouse; it's revealed that she doesn't know where her body is imprisoned, but the Regents seem to have the ability to transfer her consciousness while projecting a hologram of her, allowing her to communicate with others. This method of communication is used again in the episode "3... 2... 1..." during a mission to obtain Joshua's Trumpet, an artifact that only she has seen. Also during this episode it is revealed that she built a rocket in 1893 that at one point was powered by the trumpet, the rocket fell to Earth in 1962 landing in Greenbury, Ohio. In the season finale episodes, "Emily Lake" and "Stand" it is revealed that her memories were stored in the Janus coin, after which the Regents gave her a new life and the name Emily Lake. However, Walter Sykes soon reunites H.G. with her body because of her knowledge of a backdoor into Warehouse 13. At the end of "Stand" she sacrifices herself to save Myka, Pete and Artie from a nuclear-size explosion.
James MacPherson (Roger Rees) is a former Warehouse Agent who was previously partnered with Artie Nielsen. Fifteen years ago, he and Artie have a falling out when MacPherson uses the "Phoenix" to rescue his wife, Carol, from a fire, which results in the deaths of five firemen (whenever the Phoenix is used to save a life, at least one other person must die). MacPherson is convicted for the deaths and is sent to prison, but escapes two years later and disappears. He returns in season one as Artie’s arch nemesis. He is acquiring and selling Warehouse artifacts to release them back into the world. He demonstrates a great wealth of knowledge of paranormal artifacts and uses them to accomplish his goals. Though numerous attempts have been made to capture him over the years, he remains at large until the season 2 premiere "Time Will Tell", when he is killed in the Warehouse. In the following episode, his ghost seems to haunt the Warehouse, seen only by Artie. His ghost's last act is to lead Artie to his room at Leena's—duplicated and stored in the Warehouse like all former agents—to show him a pocket watch that the two of them had apparently argued over; the watch is accompanied by a note willing it to Artie. This watch is seen again in the season three finale, and it is implied that it has the power to somehow reverse the destruction wrought by Walter Sykes.
Benedict Valda (Mark Sheppard) was the most frequently seen Regent through the series' first two seasons. The Regents are the executive board of the Warehouses. Valda first appeared in the season 1 episode "Breakdown", in which the Regents question Artie about his capability. This was Artie's first meeting with the Regents. Valda appeared more frequently in season 2; in "Beyond Our Control", he joins Mrs. Frederic in an attempt to remove MacPherson's energy from Leena's brain using a combination of artifacts, while in "Around the Bend", he is introduced to Pete, Myka, and Claudia, and becomes the target of Pete's temporary insanity. In the season 2 episode "Buried" Valda is revealed to be the Regents' expert on Warehouse 2. He sacrifices himself in the Warehouse's Hallway of Death trap to allow Pete, Myka, and Helena to move on.
Adwin Kosan (Faran Tahir) is the highest ranking Warehouse Regent – the primary decision maker in regard to Warehouse personnel decisions. Kosan approved the reinstatement to active duty of both Agents H.G. Wells and Myka Bering. In season three, he is one of the few regents to survive the attacks orchestrated by Walter Sykes. When meeting with other Regents, he uses a business card with the name 'Diana K Snow', which is an anagram for Adwin Kosan.
Jane Lattimer (Kate Mulgrew) is a Warehouse Regent and Guardian who is Pete Lattimer's mother.[2] All her life she kept many secrets about Warehouse 13, leaving Pete not really knowing his own mother until they take a trip back to memory lane in episode "Shadows" and eventually he understands she was only trying to protect him. All Regents are selected for their areas of expertise; Jane's is dealing with children. During the events of "The 40th Floor" she becomes the Guardian of Warehouse 13 and is entrusted with the Remati Shackle, which is the last line of defense for Warehouse 13 in the face of disaster.
Dr. Vanessa Calder (Lindsay Wagner) is the official Warehouse physician and, as a cover, works for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Artie, who is attracted to Vanessa, was using an artifact to regrow his appendix every year for Vanessa to remove, until he was emboldened by Pete's advice to ask her on a date. Vanessa and Artie have feelings for each other, which they finally admit at the end of the "Love Sick" episode. Vanessa was also called upon in the episode "Buried" to care for Mrs. Frederic when her brain was being eclipsed by Warehouse 2; she was prepared to transfer the status of Caretaker from Mrs. Frederic to Claudia, but this was resolved when Warehouse 2 was shut down. Dr. Calder also appears in the Alphas episode "Never Let Me Go", establishing that, along with Eureka, Alphas takes place in the same continuity as Warehouse 13.
Hugo Miller (René Auberjonois) was a computer genius and Warehouse Agent in the late 1970s. In his quest to create a virtual artificial intelligence (AI), he used an artifact to copy his brain into the Warehouse software, which failed. He did succeed in transferring half his brain, causing him to be committed to a mental hospital. In Season 2, when the dormant AI emerged and took control of the Warehouse, Artie and the team used the artifact to reverse the process and restore Hugo's brain. He reappears in Season 3 to help Artie when an artifact-enhanced computer virus begins to infect people leading to the cellular degeneration of their bodies and eventually death. It is revealed that he had a relationship with Vanessa Calder when they were both active Warehouse Agents.
Rebecca St. Clair (1929-2010) (Roberta Maxwell), was a former Warehouse Agent who served under a previous unknown last name (although she is called Agent St. Clair in the episode "3... 2... 1"). Her years of service are unknown, though it is established she was already an agent in 1961. She left Warehouse 13 after the disappearance of her partner and lover, Jack Secord. She changed her last name and moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1965, where she worked as a elementary school teacher until her retirement.[3] She twice assists Agents Lattimer and Bering in solving various cases (episodes "Burnout" and "Where and When"). Stricken with terminal cancer, she dies while going back in time to 1961 using H.G. Wells' Time Machine in order to spend her final moments with Jack. The young Rebecca is portrayed by actress Alex Paxton-Beesley, and is shown in flashback in the episodes "Where and When" and "3... 2... 1".
Jack Secord (Chad Connell), was a former U.S. Marine and Secret Service Agent; it was said that he received "vibes" similar to later Warehouse Agent Pete Lattimer. He was recruited by the Warehouse in 1955 and went missing in 1962. In the episode "Burnout", his body is found sealed up in an abandoned cellar, an act of self-sacrifice to entomb a dangerous artifact that had attached itself to his body. He was romantically involved with his partner Rebecca (St. Clair). Jack’s character is seen in flashback in the episodes "Where and When" and "3…2…1."
Kate Logan (Tia Carrere) is a Secret Service Agent who once had a relationship with Warehouse Agent Pete Lattimer. She is assigned to the Chicago, Illinois field office in the episode "Around the Bend", though is found working a case in Washington, D.C. in the episode "Vendetta".
Walter Sykes (Anthony Michael Hall), was a young boy bound to his wheelchair who uses Carlo Collodi's Bracelet to give him the ability to control his own body, enabling him to walk. (First seen in episode "Shadows"). However, the bracelet planted a seed of darkness in his soul and he is now the man behind A to Z Technologies (named after the A/Z in Aztec his old baseball team), a shell company. The bracelet was taken from him as a boy by Artie and MacPherson when they were active field agents. The corruption of the bracelet increased his anger over having the bracelet taken from him and sets up his personal vendetta against the regents. As an act of revenge, he plans to take down all of the regents and is partially successful in his attacks, killing regents Theodora Stanton (Paula Boudreau), Philip Petrov (Alex Karzis), Lok Archer, and at least four others. Sykes is killed when he is trapped in the portal between Warehouse 13 and the Ancient Regent Sanctum in Hong Kong. He served as the primary antagonist of season three.
Marcus Diamond (Sasha Roiz), formerly a police officer, is an employee and associate of Walter Sykes. He helps Sykes in executing his plan of murdering the Warehouse Regents. He kills Sally Stukowski at the end of "The 40th Floor" by giving her a lethal injection. Sykes assigns him the task of recruiting Steve Jinks to their cause. At some time in the past, Diamond was shot in the chest three times and killed in the line of duty, but he is revived by Sykes using Johann Maelzel's Metronome. At the end of Season 3, he dies once again when Claudia stops the metronome that had been keeping him alive.
Sally Stukowski (Ashley Williams), was a FBI Agent who in actuality was assisting Walter Sykes with his plan to murder the Warehouse Regents. When she was working with the FBI or interacting with the Warehouse agents she spoke with a southern accent, but she was later revealed to be from Connecticut. She is a ruthless woman who will torture and kill to achieve her ends, including the brutal murder of Warehouse Regent Theodora Stanton. In "The 40th Floor", she uses the "Anarchy Aerosol Paint Can", though unsuccessfully, in an attempt to bring down a skyscraper housing three Regents and their security force. When she becomes a liability to Sykes' cause, she is killed by Marcus Diamond.
Joshua Donovan (Tyler Hynes), Claudia Donovan's older brother who also possesses unusually high IQ. He is a long-time friend of Arthur Nielsen and formerly the protégé of Professor Reynolds (a pseudonym for MacPherson). In college, he conducted experiments with teleportation using Rheticus' Compass, attempting to use it before finding all of the instructions and was believed dead after activating the device. Claudia and Artie discovered that Joshua had been suspended in inter-dimensional limbo and carried out the final instruction to bring Josh back to the corporeal realm. After returning, Claudia convinced him to pursue his passion for physics and in 2010 he obtained a job at the particle physics laboratory at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). He visits his sister during the season 2 Christmas episode "Secret Santa". Due to having been suspended in time for twelve years, he appears to be approximately the same age as his sister.
Dr. Kelly Hernandez (Paula Garcés), Univille's veterinarian, is romantically involved with Pete Lattimer during the later part of Season 2. Recovering from a bad relationship, she moved to Univille in search of a quiet and simple life. She first meets Pete as he and Myka are investigating an artifact placed in Univille. Although Pete and Kelly are initially antagonistic to each other, they begin dating in "For The Team." She believes Pete's cover story that he is an IRS agent working at a warehouse that houses fifty years of tax returns. However, when H.G. Wells sends her Lizzie Borden's compact to create a diversion, she attempts to kill Pete under its influence and discovers that Pete's career is far more dramatic than his IRS agent cover story implies. As a result, she breaks up with him and leaves town.
