Read more about Nikola Tesla (Sanctuary) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Syfy The characters in the Canadian science fiction-fantasy television series Sanctuary are predominantly "abnormals": advanced humans or creatures, and the show centers on bringing other abnormals to the Sanctuary in the fictional Old City, for the purpose of protecting the public, as well as the abnormals themselves. Most of the Sanctuary team are abnormals, despite looking human: (Amanda Tapping) has longevity, (Christopher Heyerdahl) and (Emilie Ullerup) can teleport, and (Ryan Robbins) is a werewolf. Even (Robin Dunne) turned to an abnormal temporarily in the episode "Warriors". Several of the actors who play their respective characters have been nominated for Leo and Constellation Awards. Doctor Helen Magnus, played by Amanda Tapping (Webisodes, main Season 1– ) is a 160 year old teratologist (born August 27, 1850 ) and head of the Sanctuary in Old City. She was born in England during the Victorian era, and was one of the first female doctors and scientists of the Royal College of Surgeons in London. Her father, Gregory Magnus, taught her about his private research of studying and helping the Abnormals. She later builds the Sanctuary Network in Old City using her father's designs to accommodate the Abnormals. On one hunt, she saves Will Zimmerman during his childhood from a deadly Abnormal, though she is unable to rescue his mother. Decades later, she recruits Will as her protege. Doctor Will Zimmerman, played by Robin Dunne (Webisodes, main Season 1– ) is a police forensic psychiatrist, who possesses natural empathic abilities and a sense of a deeper reason behind crimes, looking beyond the surface barrier that his superiors accept. This trait leaves him unpopular with his bosses, and he is often ridiculed or ignored. Sometime before the series, his girlfriend, Meg (Kandyse McClure) breaks up with him. Will secretly suffers nightmares due to an encounter with an Abnormal that left his mother dead. While investigating the mysterious deaths of two local police officers, Will is confronted and eventually recruited by Helen Magnus to help treat her patients (specifically those who are difficult to reach emotionally and need to be convinced to trust her). Though highly skeptical of things that science cannot explain, he learns to accept all things extraordinary. He spends his time in the series on his travels with Magnus and the rest of the Sanctuary crew. Ashley Magnus, played by Emilie Ullerup (Webisodes, main Season 1–2 episode 3) is the daughter of Helen Magnus and John Druitt. After her conception, Helen kept the frozen embryo for over a century. When she could no longer bear the loneliness from her longevity and from losing Druitt, and eventually comes to accept it.
