Professor Nick Cutter[]
A professor of archaeology, and the leader of the team for the first two seasons. A little crazy, not to mention a host of issues relating to his wife, Helen. Played by Douglas Henshall.
- Bunny Ears Lawyer
- The Hero
- Killed Off for Real: Is shot by Helen early in Season Three.
Connor Temple[]
One of Nick Cutter's students. While not initially the most reliable person, Connor is a genius. He's been maintaining his own database of prehistoric creatures for years, and he developed pretty much all of the ARC's technology (save the EMDs). He moves in with Abby partway through Season One, and later enters a relationship with her.
- Adorkable
- Berserk Button: Do not even so much as make Abby unhappy, or he will use anything he can get his hands on - rocks, paddles, Becker - and use it against you.
- Bunny Ears Lawyer
- Hollywood Nerd: One of the books actually says he is "not handsome". Yeah, right.
- The Smart Guy
Abby Maitland[]
A zookeeper who joins the team in the first episode. Abby's primary contribution is her acute understanding of animal behavior and psychology. Enters a relationship with Connor, and proposes to him at the end of Season Five.
- Action Girl
- Berserk Button: Rex.
- Broken Bird: Debatably. The Cretaceous seemed to have a more marked impact on her than it did on Connor. After her return, she rarely shows emotion anymore. The exception is with Connor, as their relationship was only strengthened by their shared adversity.
- Expository Hairstyle Change: Her hair grows longer while she and Connor are stuck in the Cretaceous, and she keeps it that way, marking her much cooler demeanor.
