Main cast
Jane Van Veen
Jane Van Veen
Portrayed by: Rachael Taylor
- Artistic License – Medicine: In "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", Jane reacts with great anxiety to the nurse strapping a band on her arm to take her blood pressure (because it reminds her of being restrained during her recent repressed traumatic experience) and tells her to stop, and the nurse insists on pressing on, struggling with her, holding her down and injecting her with sedatives. In reality, this would be illegal. Jane's dissociative episode is not enough for her to be treated as mentally incompetent, and hospital workers are supposed to respect patients' anxieties and personal space.
- Face–Heel Turn
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: Jane completely blacks out everything from when she enters the hidden stairway in the basement of the Drake to suddenly appearing in Times Square.
- Jane, I Am Your Father: Her connection to the Drake.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Jane makes a deal with Gavin to save Henry when he's shot, the price of which is... a new order. What does this mean? Two words; The Antichrist.
- Villainous Rescue: Jane is saved from Peter Kramer's ghost when the birds in the walls of the Drake attack and re-kill him.

Louise Leonard
Louise Leonard
Portrayed by: Mercedes Mason
- Alliterative Name: Louise Leonard
- Buried Alive: Ends up walled alive in the basement of the Drake.
- Evil Elevator: One sends her to the hospital in the pilot.
- Shout-Out: The scene in which Louise is 'attacked' by the elevator brings to mind both the Danish movie Das Lift and a death scene in Final Destination 2.
- Together in Death: With Brian.

- Fate Worse than Death: When Gavin realizes that one of his associates has betrayed him, he traps him an endless hallway with no way out until he cracks and confesses. And then the trope is subverted when Gavin just plain kills him.
- First-Episode Twist: He's an evil supernatural entity. Jury's still out on whether or not he is actually The Devil.
- Satanic Archetype: He's an evil supernatural entity. However, it remains to be seen if he is actually Satan, a demon serving Satan, or a servant even lower than a demon.

- Rewriting Reality: A journalist with dreams of making it big, makes a deal with Gavin to become a success. This manifests as gaining the ability to make whatever she writes come true. Unfortunately, this leads to the assassin she created killing her.
