List of ''Final Destination'' characters

Final Destination is an American horror franchise consisting films, ten novels, and two comic books composed of six issues in total. Each medium features a protagonist who experiences a premonition of himself/herself and several others dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event with a handful of other characters moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors later die one by one in a series of elaborate and often gory scenarios that frequently resemble Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity.

Despite depicting homicide, the series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre in that the "villain" of the films is not the stereotypical slasher or monster but the entity Death itself (occasionally seen as a fleeting shadow or a gust of wind) which manipulates the environment in deadly ways with the intent of reclaiming the lives of the survivors.

The list of characters includes those who died in the protagonist's initial premonition and those who died along the survivors. Characters are listed in alphabetical order, and are arranged by chronological appearance. Unnecessary characters are excluded, for example, those who do not affect the story heavily. The statuses of the characters indicate whether they're last confirmed alive, deceased, or involved in an incident which left their fates ambiguous(classified as unknown) in the films.

Alex Browning

Alexander Theodore "Alex" Browning (portrayed by Devon Sawa) is the protagonist and visionary of Final Destination. He is one of the survivors of Flight 180, and the sixth survivor to die.

Alex was a senior at Mt. Abraham High School who boarded Volee Airlines Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, France. Before take-off, Alex had a premonition that a catastrophic engine failure would cause the plane to explode in mid-air, killing everyone on board. When the events from his vision begin to repeat themselves, he panics and is thrown off the plane along with six others, who witness the plane explode moments later. Over the next several months, the survivors begin to die one by one in a series of bizarre accidents, and after learning that Death is still after them, Alex attempts to figure out Death's plan and save the remaining survivors. He manages to save Clear Rivers and Carter Horton and Death skips them, leading them to believe they have cheated Death's plan. Six months later, Alex, Clear, and Carter travel to Paris to celebrate their survival. After explaining that Death still hasn't skipped him, Alex is nearly hit by a falling sign but Carter saves him at the last second, and Death skips him. When Carter asks who is next the sign suddenly swings back down towards Carter, revealing that Death's plan is still in action. In Final Destination 2 it is revealed that following the events of the first film Alex was bludgeoned by a falling brick. Alex is mentioned again in Final Destination 3 and seen in archive footage in Final Destination 5.

Thirty-nine days later, he attends a memorial service for the victims, where he refuses to admit that Alex saved him. He later confronts Alex at a cafe where they witness Terry's death, leaving Carter devastated. The survivors later reunite and Alex explains that Death is still after them. When Carter learns that he is next on Death's list he parks his car on railroad tracks, wanting to die on his own terms. He changes his mind at the last minute, but cannot get out when his seat belt jams. Alex manages to save Carter just seconds before his car is smashed by an oncoming train, and Death skips him.

He awakens just as Christa asks him to change seats, just like in his vision, and panics. Disregarding Alex's warning, she stays on the plane and is incinerated among 286 other passengers.

After Tod Waggner's death, she and Alex sneak into the morgue to see his body. There they encounter William Bludworth, who warns them that Death is still after the survivors. Clear is initially skeptical, until the other survivors start to die one by one. After saving Carter Horton, Alex distances himself from the group, believing that he is next on Death's list. He later learns that Clear is actually next, and rushes to her house to save her. Meanwhile, Clear is trapped inside her car, which is leaking gas fluid, and surrounded by live wires. Alex arrives in time to save Clear, and grabs the wire allowing her to escape from the car seconds before it explodes, and Death skips her. Six months later, Clear, Alex, and Carter travel to Paris, to celebrate their survival; however, after Alex narrowly avoids Death, they both witness Carter's death[3] and realize that Death's plan is still in action.

She is visited by Kimberly Corman, who asks her to help her save the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. She initially refuses, but later introduces Kimberly and Thomas Burke to Bludworth, who tells them that only "new life" can defeat Death. This leads them to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan, and they will all be safe. She, Kimberly, and Thomas manage to save Isabella and her baby, but Kimberly later realizes that Isabella was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore not on Death's List. Clear searches for Eugene Dix at the hospital, but accidentally causes his room to explode from an oxygen combustion, incinerating them both.[4] Clear's death is shown in x-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination and seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.[5][6]

The Waggners blame Alex for George's death, and Tod's friendship with Alex becomes distant. Tod later deliverers a farewell speech at the memorial service. That night, while Tod is in his bathroom the toilet begins to leak, causing him to slip and fall into the bathtub. The clothes line wraps around Tod's neck and slowly suffocates him as he desperately attempts to free himself, but he eventually dies from asphyxia. His death is deemed a suicide, however Alex does not believe that Tod killed himself. Tod is mentioned by Kimberly Corman in Final Destination 2, who says that she went shopping with her mother, but got distracted by a news piece on Tod's death, while her mother was killed by car thieves outside.

Ms. Lewton, a teacher at Mt. Abraham High School, is chosen to chaperone the students on their field trip to Paris. After a handful of students are thrown off the plane, Ms. Lewton volunteers to stay behind and look after them, convincing Larry Murnau to get back on the plane. She tries to calm Alex Browning down, but after witnessing the plane explode shortly after, she holds him responsible and immediately distrusts him. Among all the Flight 180 survivors, she externalizes her guilt the most for causing Larry's death, and prepares to leave town to restart her life. While packing her things, a crack forms in her mug, which contains vodka, causing the contents to leak out all over the floor and into a computer monitor, causing a short circuit. The computer explodes and shrapnel is sent flying into her neck, and the sparks from the explosion ignite the trail of vodka, which leads to a bottle sitting on top of the counter. The bottle explodes, causing the counter to catch fire, and Ms. Lewton falls to the floor. She reaches for a rag sitting on top of a rack of knives on the counter, but it falls over and one of the knives falls into her chest. Alex arrives to save her, but the oven explodes, causing a chair to fall on top of her. This pushes the knife deeper into her chest and kills her. The fire eventually spreads and causes an explosion which destroys her whole house, as Alex flees the scene.[3] Ms. Lewton is mentioned in Final Destination 2 by Eugene Dix, who says that he was substituting for Ms. Lewton after her death, when a homicidal student from his previous job killed his substitute.[4] Ms. Lewton's death was shown in x-ray format during the opening credits of The Final Destination and she appeared again via archive footage at the end of Final Destination 5.[5]

At the end, he and Agent Schreck attempt to arrest Alex and chase him into the woods, but after they witness Alex rescue Clear Rivers, Alex is cleared of suspicion.[3]

William Bludworth

William "Bill" Bludworth is a mysterious mortician who appears in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5.[1][8][9] He was portrayed by Tony Todd.[3][4][5]

Tony Todd portrayed William Bludworth in Final Destination, Final Destination 2, and Final Destination 5. Additionally, Todd made a voice-over cameo in Final Destination 3.

Bludworth has the most knowledge of Death, although it is unclear how. Some have speculated that he has survived Death's list, or is in fact Death himself. In the first film Alex Browning and Clear Rivers sneak inside Bludworth's morgue to see Tod Waggner's corpse. After Bludworth catches them he explains that they have ruined Death's plan, and Death is now claiming the lives of those who were meant to die in the explosion, unless they can find a way to "cheat" Death's plan.[3] In Final Destination 2, Bludworth is visited by Clear, Kimberly Corman, and Thomas Burke, to acquire more knowledge, and explains that only "new life" can defeat Death,[4] leading the three to believe that if Isabella Hudson has her baby it will interfere with Death's list and they will all be safe. In Final Destination 5, Bludworth ominously watches the survivors of the North Bay bridge collapse, and when confronted by Sam Lawton, Molly Harper, Peter Friedkin, and Nathan Sears he warns them about Death and tells them that by killing someone else they can acquire that person's remaining lifespan.[5]

Moments later, she resuscitates Kimberly from drowning in Greenwood Lake, which turns out to be Kimberly's actual premonition.

Eugene Dix

Eugene Dix (portrayed by Terrence C. Carson) [8] was one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. He was the sixth survivor to die.[4]

Eugene was a high school teacher.[4][10] Prior to the crash, he was substituting for Ms. Valerie Lewton at Mt. Abraham High School, and one of the students from his old school stabbed his substitute teacher during class.[4][10] In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23, in which Eugene's motorcycle crushes his torso after he skids across the road. Although he is initially skeptical that Death is still after the survivors, he meets up with the other survivors at Thomas Burke's apartment, where he witnesses Nora Carpenter's death. A horrified Eugene steals Thomas' gun and attempts suicide, wanting to die on his own terms, but this fails despite the fact the gun was fully loaded. Clear Rivers explains that this is because it wasn't his turn to die yet. Afterwards, the remaining survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson. On the way there, Kat Jennings' SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van and they swerve onto a nearby farm. Several PVC pipes penetrate the car, and puncture Eugene's lung and he is rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Numbed by hypoxia he helplessly watches as the vents close, the tubes of his oxygen tanks snap, and the power plug of his defibrillator disengages. The machine's emergency mode activates and revives him, but Clear Rivers abruptly opens his door which completely detaches the plug, creating a spark that ignites the oxygen and creates a huge fire throughout his room, that incinerates both him and Clear.[4]

After she prevents him from entering the highway, he is brought to the police station for questioning, and interrogated by Detective Suby. After being released he returns to his apartment. He heats up some noodles in the microwave, unaware that a refrigerator magnet has fallen in the box, while he pan-fries mozzarella sticks. While trying on his new jewelry, his microwave begins to spark, startling him and causing him to drop his new ring down the sink. When he reaches into the drain to retrieve it, his watch causes his hand to get stuck. When the stove starts to flare, he attempts to put out the fire with his shirt, but uninteionally causes the pan to fall over, setting his entire apartment on fire. When he finally frees his hand he tries to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher, but it stalls. Desperate, Evan smashes the windows, and escapes seconds before his apartment explodes. Evan climbs down the escape ladder, but as he walks away he slips on old spaghetti (which he threw out the window moments earlier), and the ladder falls, impaling his right eye. This alarms the other survivors, who watch news coverage of his death.[4]

While in jail her water breaks and Deputy Adams rushes her to the hospital. On the road, Kat Jennings' SUV almost collides with Isabella's van; nonetheless, she arrives at the hospital unharmed. At the hospital, Kimberly has another vision of what appears to be Isabella's physician, Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, "strangling" Isabella. Thomas stops Dr. Kalarjian from disrupting her pregnancy, and she successfully delivers her son, which leads them to believe that they have cheated Death, however, Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore not on Death's list.[4][11][16]

Shaina McKlank

Shaina McKlank was a college student from White Plains, New York and a casualty in the Route 23 pile-up. She was portrayed by Sarah Carter.[8][10]

In the film, she, Kimberly, and their friends Dano Estevez and Frankie Whitman go on a road trip to Daytona Beach for spring break. En route, Kimberly has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23 in which her SUV is smashed by a semi-truck, killing all four of them. As a result, Kimberly stalls her SUV to prevent other drivers from entering the freeway. After Officer Thomas Burke tells Kimberly to exit the car, Shaina, Dano, and Frankie are killed by the same truck from Kimberly's premonition. Her death is referenced in the opening credits of The Final Destination.[4]

Thomas Burke

Officer Thomas "Tom" Burke is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pileup. He is the ninth and final survivor to die(Non-Canon). He is portrayed by Michael Landes.[8][18]

Thomas was a highway patrol officer stationed in Westchester County, and also performed secondary tasks such as police investigation and crime scene cleanup. During a stakeout with his partner, he was assigned to clean up the remains of Billy Hitchcock, and avoided a shootout that took the life of his partner.[4][10] In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition of a pile-up, in which a log crashes through Thomas' windshield. Kimberly prevents him and several others from entering the highway, and the survivors are brought to the police station for questioning. Thomas is the only one to consider Kimberly's theory that Death may still after them. After Evan Lewis's death, he and Kimberly attempt to save the remaining survivors, with the help of Flight 180 survivor Clear Rivers. She brings them to William Bludworth, who asserts that only "new life" can defeat Death. This leads them to believe that if Isabella Hudson had her baby it will ruin Death's plan, and they will all be safe. Thomas falsely accuses Isabella of grand theft auto, and she is incarcerated. After the death of several other survivors, Isabella goes into labor, and Thomas, Kimberly, and Clear rush to the hospital, where they witness Isabella give birth. They believe they have finally cheated death until Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never on Death's list. Kimberly sacrifices herself for Thomas's sake, and after he saves her, she is resuscitated by Dr. Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her "new life". Since Kimberly died out of order it ruins Death's list and Thomas is saved as a result.

In Final Destination 3, a newspaper article reveals that Thomas and Kimberly were killed after being knocked into a wood chipper at a hardware store; however, this is only mentioned in an alternate ending. Thomas is seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.[11][13][17][20][21]

Kimberly stalls her car on the entrance ramp, preventing them from entering the highway, and he and the other survivors are later brought to the police station for questioning. While there, Kimberly warns them that Death may still be after them, but he and Nora ignore her warning and leave. The next day, he and his mother go to his dentist appointment. While there, he is infused with laughing gas and the dentist leaves due to an emergency. He is numb and unable to move when a plastic blowfish from a hanging mobile falls into his mouth, and nearly chokes him death, but another dentist enters the room and removes it before that can happen. As he and Nora leave the clinic, Kimberly and Thomas Burke warn them about pigeons, and for fun Tim scares several pigeons near a pavement away. One of these blinds a construction worker in a crane, who accidentally hits a switch that drops a glass pane above Tim, crushing him.[4]

She and her co-workers are on their way to a corporate retreat when Sam Lawton has a premonition that the bridge they are crossing will collapse; Candice would have been killed after falling off the bridge and being impaled by a sail boat mast. Candice follows Peter off the bus, and witnesses the bridge collapse moments later. She later attends a gymnastics meet with Peter. When another woman steps on an upright screw that fell on the balance beams, she falls off, knocking a big bowl of powder into a fan. The dust blinds Candice, who falls off the uneven bars, and her body folds in half backwards, snapping her spine and killing her.

Confused, Isaac follows Sam off the bus, and witnesses the bridge collapse moments later. Afterwards, while stealing items from his deceased co-workers' desks, Isaac finds a coupon for an acupuncture session at a Chinese spa. After the masseuse leaves him (spiked with needles), a fire erupts. When Isaac attempts to escape, the legs on the table break and he falls face down onto the ground, pushing the needles deep into his skin. He narrowly avoids the growing fire, but a few seconds later his head is crushed by a heavy Buddha statue that falls from a shelf.

Sam panics and convinces Molly as well as a few of his co-workers to leave the bridge before it collapses. Molly and Sam rekindle their relationship, and after learning that Death is still after them, they attempt to save the survivors. Later, Peter attempts to kill Molly, but Sam intervenes at the last second, adding her to Death's List. Two weeks later, she and Sam board Flight 180 to Paris, which explodes moments later and Molly is sucked out and bisected by the left tailplane.

When Sam panics, he follows him off the bridge before it collapses. Nathan is initially skeptical, but believes that he has cheated Death when he accidentally kills his rival Roy Carson in a warehouse accident.

She follows Sam off the bus and witnesses the bridge collapse moments later. A few days later, she goes to a LASIK appointment to improve her myopic vision. When the doctor leaves to get her files, the machine malfunctions, discharging a powerful laser beam that sears her eye and hand. She manages to free herself, but after Sam, Molly, and the doctor arrive, she trips on the dislodged eye of a stuffed teddy bear and falls out of the window, landing on a car below.

When Sam flees the bus, Peter is instructed by his boss, Dennis Lapman, to go after him, and witnesses the bridge collapse shortly after. He becomes paranoid after witnessing Candice's death, and learns from William Bludworth that he can cheat Death by taking someone else's life.

He continues to pursue Molly to eliminate any witnesses, but is killed by Sam who stabs him in the back with a cooking skewer.
