Talk:List of Dark Angel characters

Untitled

Is it safe to assume that Ben (and Ben's clone, Alec) was spliced with feline DNA as well, since Alec was chosen as Max's breeding partner? Spacequeenie 11:02, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I should think so. Ben and Alec are X5s like Max, they are the same breed of Manticore transgenic. -- Noneofyourbusiness 05:28, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Nana Visitor

Wasn't Nana Visitor playing a recurring character at the end of season 1 / beginning of season 2? How come she isn't on the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.206.107.136 (talk) 23:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, she was. The character was Dr. Elizabeth Renfro and was apparently higher up the chain than Lydecker. She tried to get rid of him a few times, but did not succeed. She was killed jumping in front of Max to keep her from being shot by a Manticore guard when the Manticore facility was burned down. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.74.236.131 (talk) 18:38, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

I've added her to the list. Freikorp (talk) 11:27, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

Dark Angel: The Eyes Only Dossier

Published in 2003 by Del Rey, ISBN 0-345-45185-6. This book could be used to expand information on characters. I list the basics here for my future reference and for the knowledge of other editors. The book is attributed to Logan Cale and as being compiled by D. A. Stern. The book does not actually number pages. The page after the title page is a letter written by Logan during the stand-off at Terminal City. It is addressed to Detective Matt Sung instructing him that the package he is sending him contains documents pertaining to the four most critical Eyes Only investigations. In the event that Logan is killed by the potential invasion of Terminal City, he wants Sung to carry on the investigations. The four investigations all feature correspondence with seb2009@pfpfree.net. Implied to be Sebastian as noted by the email address and said persons computer hacking skills, though never explicitly identified.

The first investigation is "Sector 55". It revolves around the kidnapping of mayor candidate Margaret Curran in 2016. Margaret is revealed to be Asha's mother; Logan states Asha and him never stopped looking for Margaret. It is implied that Asha and Logan met via trying to find her mother. It is believed that Margaret is being held in an underground prison, thought to be located in the Seattle Underground (off-limits to civilians since "The Coffeehouse Crackdown" in 2014), and believed to be named Sector 55.

The second investigation is "The Pheonix Project". It provides strong evidence that Pope Leo XVI was assassinated by a Manticore X5R. X5R is the code given to all X5s who successfully completed "re-indoctrination" following the escape of Max and her 11 companions; the remaining X5s at Manticore were deemed to be "at risk" for "aberrant behaviour" and were sent for re-indoctrination. A lot of information is provided about Lydecker and Renfro's involvement in the project. A dossier on Lydecker is included (dob 8.5.1968, pob Panama City, Fl, marital status widower, service history and eyes only notes are also included). X5R600 "Lane" (a "twin" of Zack) is revealed to be the pope's assassin; he kills himself via suicide bombing to evade capture.

The third investigation is "The Grand Coulee Massacre". It revolves around the history of Jon Darius, and the May 22 Movement's alleged plot to blow up the Grand Coulee Dam in an upcoming protest march. A dossier on Jon is provided (dob 8.2.1986, pob Cheyenne WY, marital status unknown, notes from eyes only also included), as is the background story of his interview with Logan, which was mentioned in the TV series.

The fourth investigation is "Davenport Genetics Institute". It contains an article published by Sketchy in the New World Weekly about the breeding cult, as well as another article in said paper (not by Sketchy) giving a character profile and details about Max. Said article also contains quotes from both Clemente and Ames White, and information on "Dogman" (Joshua), who is still wanted for the murder of Annie Fisher. The investigation focuses on the breeding cult and its abduction and forced pregnancy then murder of women, who are selected to be part of their breeding program. A decent amount of information about Sandeman is given, including evidence that he helped an abducted girl escape from the breeding cults 'insane asylum'. Freikorp (talk) 10:02, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Dan Vogelsang

Vogelsang appears in four episodes of the series, though he is not currently listed in the article, and I am not adding him right away as I have not seen the series recently enough to remember his character well. For my own future reference, I am mentioning that he is the only recurring minor character from the series to appear in the Dark Angel prequel novel "Before the Dawn". He is introduced on page 112, when Max is delivering a package to him on behalf of Jam Pony. Between pages 113 and 115 she learns he is a private detective and tentatively arranges to use his services when she returns with a downpayment. Between pages 121 and 124 she returns with the money and asks him to try and locate her bother Seth and the woman Hannah who helped her after she escaped from Manticore (as seen in the series). Later in the novel, Vogelsang provides Max with the information that someone else (later revelled to be Lydecker) is also looking for Seth, but he has no other information or information on Hannah (though he does help her locate Hannah in the series).

I've added Vogelsang to this list, but the information on him in the series needs to be expanded; I only put in two sentences from what I remember. Freikorp (talk) 11:59, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
