Claire Radcliff is a vampire and wife to Dylan Radcliff, made by him decades ago. Together, they have an adopted daughter named Emily, whose parents were murdered by Claire eight years ago. Claire is having a hard time adjusting to concealing her vampirism. She has urges to drink human blood even if it means accidentally killing someone.

While she was using the restroom, Christian seduces a girl in order to drink her blood. When they are outside in the alley, Christian convinces Claire to drink.

Werewolves

Brett Crezski

A high school football player and a werewolf (beta of the young wolf pack). It is revealed that his werewolf brother and father were killed by "hunters" and that he and his mother moved to The Gates to be safe. His mother doesn't want him "running" or participating in the normal werewolf activities out of fear that he will be caught and killed. However, Brett is under constant pressure from fellow werewolf Lukas Ford to run with his pack.

Karen Crezski

Brett's mother, also a werewolf. She is a widow after her husband and other son were killed by "hunters". In fear that her only remaining son Brett will share the same fate, she moved to The Gates to keep him safe. In her civilian guise she is an overachieving member of the PTA and The Gates' "ladies who lunch set". She and her other werewolf friends do not get along with The Gates' vampire community, in particular Claire Radcliff. However, they seem to mutually respect each other's secret and both she and Claire have an even greater dislike of Devon than they do for each other. Enough for them to both come together and aide Sara Monahan, Devon's latest target.

Lukas Ford

A teenage werewolf who is a student at the Gates Academy, the alpha of the young high school werewolf pack and a member of the local werewolf pack. He keeps trying to convince Brett to "run with them".

He was the son of alpha (Simon Ford) of the werewolves pack. Due to Simon's alcoholic behavior, Lukas fought and defeated his father, but Lukas was not strong enough to take the place of alpha. Therefore, Coach Ross, as beta, claimed he defeated Simon and became the alpha of the pack.

Coach Zack Ross

He was the beta in the werewolf pack. After Lukas defeated his father (pack alpha), Ross took the alpha place in the werewolf pack.

Lexie Wade

She is the only known female member of the teenage werewolf pack. At first she followed Lukas' commands, but has developed a crush on Brett since his takeover of the group. She sees Andie as a threat to the pack and wants her out of their lives. She appeals to Lukas to exclude Andie - an outsider - from the pack, but he declines. Lexie takes matters into her own hands. She starts flirting with Charlie to make Andie jealous enough to return to him, so that she can keep Brett to herself.

Other

Devon Buckley

It is also implied that her herbal teas that she sells from her spa are doing something sinister to those who drink it.

Peg Mueller

Like Devon, Peg is a witch and Devon's former teacher. Unlike Devon though she seems to be using her witchcraft to genuinely help the supernatural residents of The Gates, helping Claire Radcliffe with her vampire urges, diagnosing Andie Bates and helping Leigh Turner with her pain. In her civilian role she works as a doctor, allowing her to easily aid both human and supernatural patients alike.

Andie Bates

A classmates of Charlie's and Brett's ex-girlfriend. She is currently suffering from a strange rash and visits Peg Mueller to find out what is wrong. Peg discusses with Andie's father and reveals that Andie's mother was not human, but a Succubus, and that Andie is now turning into one.

Leigh Turner

One of Nick Monohan's deputies at The Gates Police Department. She seems to be a genuinely nice and caring person, but during a robbing spree within The Gates a mysterious box of hers is stolen, which reveals that Leigh is not entirely human and that too long separated from the contents within the box she will start reverting into something. Peg helps her manage the pain, but she luckily gets the box back. In order to keep her secret though she regretfully kills the person who stole the box. Whenever the box is opened, the sound of a beating heart can be heard. In episode 9, Leigh confessed to Nick that Leigh Turner is not her true identity, as she needed a fresh start after her ex-boyfriend ripped her heart out.

Charlie Monohan

He is a tall, handsome, lean teenager, with green eyes and brown hair. Charlie is the son of the new chief of police in The Gates, Nick Monohan. His mother is Nick's wife Sarah Monohan, he also has a younger sister named Dana Monohan. In the beginning of the season, he dated Andie, whose mother is a succubus, and when her power grew stronger and started sucking Charlie's life, she refused to hurt Charlie and broke up with him. They however got back together, even after Andie told Charlie her secret. He starts the series out as a human but by the end of season finale, he is critically injured by Andie's kiss and he is killed by Devon but brought back by Dark Magic, however he is brought back differently and exhibits telekinetic power and is now some unknown supernatural being.
