A/N- I thought a character listing would be friendly, as this story includes many characters, of varying degrees of obscurity. I also messed with the canon a little bit for both shows, so this details that as well. Enjoy!

Warehouse 13—since the days of Alexander the Great, mankind has been aware that certain objects with mysterious properties that when activated provide supernatural and often dangerous effects. Beginning in Alexandria, Egypt, the Warehouse has been housed in the dominant nation of the world ever since; despite being run by a mysterious and neutral multi national group known as the Regents. Agents of the Warehouse are employed to detain and neutralize harmful artifacts in the wild. The current Warehouse, number 13, is located in South Dakota, while the previous Warehouse (until 1920) was located in London.

Sanctuary—Certain genetic mutation often produce strange effects, granting people powers and strange appearances beyond the norm. These abnormals live and attempt to function in a world that often mistakes them for monsters. The Sanctuary system was founded in London by the immortal Helen Magnus in 1892, and has since grown to become a global network working to provide sanctuary to all who seek it.

Dramatis Personae

The Immortals

Dr. Helen Magnus—Maternal, warm, and about as transparent as a brick wall, Helen has lived for 160 years but doesn't look a day over 30. Founder and leader of the Sanctuary network, Magnus's life work is devoted to finding and caring for genetically abnormal humans, following in the footsteps of her father. Her extraordinary longevity and her strange ability to manipulate outcomes to her advantage are due to her injection of vampire Source blood in the 1890s, making her an abnormal as well her four friends. Together they are known as the Five. Helen continues to run the Sanctuary, though she is currently mourning for her deceased daughter with John, Ashley.

John Druitt—Chivalrous, dedicated, and intelligent, his love for Helen was the greatest part of his life. His injection of source blood gave him the ability to teleport, but in the interdimensional space between here and there he picked up a parasite—known as the rage monster. Taking over John's consciousness, John became the serial killer Jack the Ripper in the late 1890s and has been on the run ever since—from the law and the other members of the Five.

Nikolai Tesla—Witty, fickle and ambitious, Tesla's source gift transformed him into the last living vampire, the ability to manipulate electricity. With his new found ability, Nikolai became the first energy pioneer, working with Warehouse 12 to build the non-lethal stun guns that are still in use today. With time, Nikolai's ambitions grew darker and he worked for decades to try to revive his species, only to be foiled time and again by Helen's efforts. He recently has given up his quest, convinced by Helen to settle down at the Sanctuary for a time, or until she runs out of wine, whichever first.

James Watson—already brilliant beyond measure in numerous fields, James's source gift magnified his intelligence to astronomical proportions. As a private detective, James lived in London for decades, fighting crime; becoming the inspiration behind the famous Sherlock Holmes stories. As he discovered that he still aged, he built his own life support machinery to keep his ailing body alive. Recently, when reunited with the Five on a quest to recover the source blood from where Helen's father had hidden it, James's life support system finally gave out. Helen brought the body back to the Sanctuary, where she froze him, waiting for the day when technology could save him once again.

Nigel Griffin—A modern day Robin Hood, Nigel's strengths in economics and history paid dividends when the source blood gifted him with invisibility. Nigel became a thief, robbing the rich and giving to the poor, after a hefty cut for himself. Only one other person discovered his secret—a young socialite named Helena G. Wells. Nigel later became the subject of a novel, The Invisible Man. Nigel also didn't receive immortality, but rather lived an extraordinarily long life. After his wife died in 1920, Nigel returned to his life of crime. He was last seen in South Dakota, 1956, where he disappeared off the face of the world.

Helena "HG" Wells— Brilliant and beautiful with a rather vindictive temper, Helena was an agent of Warehouse 13 where her imagination and ingenuity were only limited by the technology of the time—which Helena herself was constantly reinventing. Penning famous novels, published under her brother's name, Helena constantly rebelled against the strict social structure of her time. After the tragic death of her daughter Christina, Helena went slightly insane, inventing a time machine that allowed the user to travel and inhabit the body of someone else for a set period of time. After several agents were killed as a result of her carelessness, Helena was bronzed voluntarily, held in stasis for one hundred years until another renegade agent released her from the Warehouse. Filled with rage and a hatred for a world that had worsened since her own time, Helena manipulated her way back into the Warehouse's service. The other agents were not able to prevent Helena from going rogue after she acquired the Minoan Trident, an artifact that if set off on top of the Yellowstone Caldera, would destroy the world. She was foiled and thrown in a Regent prison where she's been ever since.

Adam Worth— Ambitious, manipulative and later flat out insane, Adam is an Irish scientist who attended Oxford at the same time as the Five. Adam sought to gain access to their experiments, but not believing him to possess enough moral fibre, Helen denied his request. Adam then turned to criminal exploits, becoming the inspiration behind the character Moriarty. The Five still remained friends with Adam, even after their transformations and despite his criminal tendencies. When Adam's beloved daughter Imogene became ill with leukemia, James and Helen worked tirelessly to save her. Their effort failed, causing a psychotic break in Adam. He blamed Helen for Imogene's death and began his effort to kill her. When the rest of the Five stymied him, Adam picked up where the now bronzed HG Wells had left off, finding her research and working for the next century on both a physical time machine and a cure for leukemia. Why he has not died is a mystery, as are his current whereabouts.

Irene Frederic—Mysterious, bossy and defensive, Mrs. Frederic is the Caretaker of the Warehouse, her very life force tied to the Warehouse. Of indeterminate age and origin, but at least a century old, Mrs. F has no time for shenanigans and a nasty habit of appearing out of thin air. A recent streak of grey hair has her concerned that her abnormally long life is almost up. She has begun the search for her heir as Caretaker.

Mortals

Will Zimmerman—a forensic psychologist with a perchance with encountering the supernatural, Will was recruited by Helen to be her right hand at the Sanctuary. Will's observational skills and empathy make him a valuable asset, as well as serving as Helen's emotional compass.

Henry Foss—a werewolf abnormal who was adopted by Helen at a young age, Henry works at the Sanctuary as the technical support in his human form, and pure muscle in his werewolf form. Generally easy going, His love/hate relationship with Nikolai is a thing of legend, with Helen often having to break up fights with between the werewolf and the vampire.

Pete Lattimer—an agent of the Warehouse and former marine, Pete is easy going, fun loving, even in the darkest of times. Pete's bravery and his "vibes", supernaturally accurate gut feelings, make the heart of the Warehouse's "A-team". While Pete's past alcoholism tend to bring up ghosts, his optimism has proven it can overcome any obstacle.

Myka Bering—Straight laced, by the book and with an eidetic memory, Myka is incredibly intelligent and through, with a caution born from a tragic past. Her world is turned upside down when she meets and then looses HG Wells, her childhood hero, who then turns out to be an incredibly vivacious woman. Myka is the first to trust her, and is thus deeply betrayed when Helena tries to destroy the world. Myka was able to stop her, but with a broken heart she resigned her commission at the Warehouse and left to run her parents tiny bookstore.

Leena—the innkeeper who runs the Bed and Breakfast where the Warehouse agents live, Leena's prenatural calm disguise her supernatural abilities—the ability to read auras and sense artifacts has gotten the team out of a lot of trouble.

Artie Nielson—an ex-NSA agent who was kicked out for selling state secrets to the Soviets in order to rescue his relative from Stalinist Russia, Artie came to the Warehouse in the early 1980s and has been a loyal agent ever since. Artie's gruff demeanor masks a deep, fatherly affection for all of his agents—and he makes excellent cookies.

Claudia Donovan—a 20 year old orphan who spent years in a psychiatric ward after her brother was lost in an interdimensional rift—Claudia convinced Artie to rescue her brother Joshua after years of stubborn belief that he was still alive. After Joshua was rescued, he and Claudia decided to part ways, with genius Joshua going to work at CERN and even smarter Claudia staying at the Warehouse and becoming the youngest agent ever. Claudia is a true child of the information age, using pop culture references to commutate, recoloring the streak in her hair to fit her mood and getting along better with computers than her peers. Claudia's tremendous intelligence is her greatest strength—she has never met a computer she couldn't hack.
