caused by Paracelsus’ cruelty, for the second time. However, Vincent’s empathic connection to Catherine was severed this time, and many of his precious memories were lost.
Cullen: This man, featured in the episode “Fever,” was a very talented carver, sculptor, and wood-worker, and enjoyed creating artistic gifts for members of the community below.
He came below after his wife died of a catastrophic illness which left him bankrupt. When eighteenth century gold antiquities were found in a buried ship in one of the lower passageways, Cullen succumbed to “gold fever” and ended up stabbing another community member with one of his carving tools. Father performed surgery and the community member was saved. Meanwhile, Cullen’s dreams of wealth turned into a nightmare when Vincent’s warning that attempting to sell rare items above would draw notice from evil elements was realized. Cullen redeemed himself and was forgiven by everyone when he risked his life to save the community from an armed murderous smuggler who forced Cullen to take him
below for more treasure.
Pascal: He was in charge of the pipe communication system in the world below which involved tapping on the pipes in a unique code. That knowledge was passed down to him by his father, and he was continually improving upon it and coming up with new ways to streamline and abbreviate it in order to send messages more quickly.
Zach: He was a preteen boy, who was a leader among the children, and was being trained on the pipes by Pascal.
Mouse: He was an homespun engineer, inventor, and metal worker, with poor language skills, whom Vincent managed to capture as a child when he was stealing food from the community. At the time Vincent caught him, Mouse had not learned to speak, only pilfer. Vincent taught him, but Mouse never quite grasped proper English, the concept of time, or the difference between stealing and salvaging. He was, however, brilliant at making things work. He was the one Cullen stabbed in the episode “Fever.” Being a very generous soul, Mouse was happy to forgive him when Cullen finally came to his senses. He had a pet raccoon named Arthur.
Elliott Burch: He was a wealthy architect who was in love with Catherine, but was rejected by her because of the people he did business with, who were unsavory and used strong-arm tactics to further his interests. He evolved into a more complex character as he struggled to overcome his weaknesses and be a better person, largely due to Catherine’s influence. After Catherine’s death, he tried to help Vincent find Catherine’s child. He was later killed by Gabriel, the man responsible for Catherine’s death and for the kidnap of her newborn son of Vincent’s. Elliott was killed and Vincent was wounded when Gabriel blew up the boat, the Compass Rose, where Elliott and Vincent had been meeting to discuss how to find Vincent’s son.
Joseph “Joe” Maxwell: He was an Assistant District Attorney and Catherine’s boss who nicknamed her “Radcliffe.” He and Catherine became very close friends. In fact, at one point Catherine made the comment that Joe had an heart like
Vincent’s. The former District Attorney, John Moreno, turned out to be an inside player for Gabriel and was responsible for Catherine’s kidnap by Gabriel. After Gabriel’s death and John Moreno’s exposure, Joe was made the Acting District Attorney, effective until the next election which had not occurred by the end of the series.
Mary: She was a mature nurse and midwife, about Father’s age, who was also in love with Jacob Wells (Father). However, she never made her feelings known to him, thinking that it was somehow selfish to want him for herself alone. She came to the tunnels following the deaths of her child and her husband and had been there almost from the beginning of Father’s world.
Rebecca: She was a young adult woman who made candles for Father’s world’s unique holiday, Winter Fest, featured in the episode,
