The recurring characters of Warehouse 13.

---

Pete Lattimer

• Adult Child
• Agent Mulder: Far more relaxed than the namesake.
• The Atoner: For his relationship-destroying alcoholism.
• Big Brother Instinct: Toward Claudia.
• Catch Phrase: Hey-hey-hey!
  • "I just got a really bad vibe."

Myka Bering

• Action Girl

• Arbitrary Skepticism
• Badass Bookworm
• Cool Big Sis: To Claudia.
• Failure Knight: She thinks so anyway.
• Friendly Enemy: With H. G. Wells, who started out trying to be the evil Obi-Wan to her Luke Skywalker.
• My Greatest Failure: The death of her partner/lover, which turns out to have been artifact-related.

Artie Nielsen

• Ancient Keeper: Though Artie isn't really all that ancient. And his job involves keeping the artifacts in the wareshouse, not giving them away
• Ambiguously Jewish
• Big Ol' Eyebrows
• Cool Old Guy
• Failure Knight: He thinks that he failed MacPherson back when they were still friends.
• Grumpy Old Man: Acts like this to keep the others in line and at arms length, nobody falls for it.
• Team Dad: Pete pretty much out-right refered to him as much.

Claudia Donovan

• And This Is For: A bone-chilling version of it in the Season 3 finale.

Claudia: That was for Steve.

• Broken Bird: At first.
• Dark and Troubled Past: People thought she was crasy when she started seeing her visions of her brother.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Foil: To Artie.
• Gadgeteer Genius
• Genki Girl
• Heroic BSOD: Spends the end of Season 3 in one, due to Steve's death.
• The Ophelia: Claudia has spent time in mental institutions over what happened to her brother and she occasionally falls back to a broken bird status.
• Playful Hacker
• Perky Goth
• Skunk Stripe: She dyes it various colors over the course of the series.

Steve Jinks

• Dead Older Sister
• Fair Cop
• Fake Defector
• Living Lie Detector
• Naive Newcomer: Joins the more experienced Pete and Myka at the start of season three.
• Nice Guy
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness

James MacPherson

• Big Bad: Of season one.
• The Chessmaster
• Evil Brit
• Evil Counterpart: To Artie.
• Fallen Hero: Used to be a Warehouse agent.
• Killed Off for Real
• Love Makes You Evil: His "start of darkness" began when he used an artifact to save the women he loved. Unfortunately it's use killed several other people in exchange.

H. G. Wells

• Adventurer Archaeologist
• Affably Evil
• Anti-Villain
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Or rather, H.G. Wells was a female Warehouse agent.
  • This is a bit less farfetched in execution - the author history recorded was her brother (who had the same initials), but he was basically writing about her inventions for pubic viewing.
• Big Bad: Of season two.
• Dark Action Girl
• Does Not Like Men: Somewhat justified, as she lived before women's rights existed.
• Evil Brit
• Fallen Hero: Like MacPherson, she used to be a Warehouse agent.
• Fetish Fuel Station Attendant
• Gadgeteer Genius
• Grappling Hook Pistol: A self-made one.
• Heel Face Turn: In season three.
• Heroic Sacrifice
• Lady of Adventure
• Les Yay: Tons of it with Myka, confirmed as intentional by both actresses, wether or not it's the same case with the characters...?
• Mama Bear
• Nietzsche Wannabe: Due to losing her daughter, she thinks the whole world deserves to die, and rants about how it's gotten worse since she was bronzed.
  • Of course, the real person she's named after predicted among other things: tanks, a world war between Germany and England, and atomic bombs. Not to mention, in later work, became apparently disillusioned with the human race and the fate of mankind as a whole.
• Redemption Equals Death
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds

Walter Sykes

• Bad Boss: And how. See below.
• Big Bad: Of season three.
• Blond Guys Are Evil
• Creepy Child: When he was younger, thanks to The Corruption.
• Evil Cripple
• From Nobody to Nightmare
• Portal Cut: Not as gory as the usual variety. Only his hand makes it through the portal, and disintegrates as the rest of him is trapped "between" spaces as it closes.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: The reason for his obsession with hunting down the Regents and destroying the Warehouse.
• Xanatos Gambit: His plan to destroy the Warehouse. It works almost flawlessly, the Warehouse is destroyed and H.G. and Mrs. Frederic are killed off (add Jinks to the list and he's the only villain thus far who's managed to kill three major characters); but Jane, Artie, Myka, and Pete are still alive.
• You Have Failed Me: Does this to two of his Mooks.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Does this to rest of his Mooks.

Marcus Diamond

• The Dragon: To Sykes.
• Enigmatic Minion
• Living on Borrowed Time: Which runs out when Claudia stops the metronome keeping his heart beating.
• Torture Technician: He claims to be one when interrogating Emily Lake/H.G. Wells. We have no reason to disbelieve him.

Sally Stukowski

• Faux Affably Evil
• Torture Technician: She tortures at least seven regents to death. She is then tortured by Mrs. Frederick, though she escapes.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness

Mrs. Frederic

• Crazy Prepared: She and the Regents seem to be prepared for just about any and all problems.
• Cool Old Lady
• Da Chief
• Older Than They Look
• The Quiet One: She does speak, but only when necessary. Most of the time she just gives people a rather spocky version of the Death Glare.
• Really Seven Hundred Years Old
• Scary Black Woman

Leena

• Badass Damsel: Dispite the fact shes not a field agent, shes beat up a few bad guys by herself.
• The Heart
• The Mole: Thought to be one at the end of season one, but it turns out MacPherson was controlling her.
• Tomboy and Girly Girl: The Girly Girl to Claudia's Tomboy.

Daniel Dickensen

• By-The-Book Cop
• Back for the Dead: In season two.
• Fair Cop
• Friend on the Force
• Reasonable Authority Figure

Benedict Valda

• Good Is Not Nice
• Hero Antagonist: To a mild degree.
• Heroic Sacrifice
• Jerkass: Until the very last episode he appears in.
• Knight Templar

Jane Lattimer

• Action Mom
• Dark and Troubled Past
• Mysterious Past
• Troubled Backstory Flashback: She and Pete once used an artifact to look into her past to dig up information about Walter Sykes.
