Annie was kidnapped in Snow Hill, Maryland, in 1975. At the time of her kidnapping, a young Jarod was tasked with getting into the mind of her kidnapper to determine her location. He was unwilling to go into such a dark place. As a result he was unable to help. She wasn’t found.

Annie was the daughter of Dr. William Raines and his wife Edna Raines.

In October 1998, Jarod helped save a girl named Sara who’d been kidnapped by the same man who’d kidnapped Annie, Douglas Willard. Jarod works to save his latest victim who was physically kidnapped by an accomplice. Willard, believing he tricked Jarod who he calls “prodigy” escapes and leads Jarod to Sara and the remains of Annie.

Willard’s apparent knowledge of “Prodigy” makes us wonder if he had some connection to Raines.

Baby Parker was born in a cabin to Brigitte and Mr. Parker. His mother, Brigitte, bled to death after giving birth to him.

Baby Parker’s mother is Brigitte and his father presumed to be Mr. Parker. Based on these assumptions, and the assumptions of paternity of these other characters, he also is half-sibling of Miss Parker and Mr. Lyle. Miss Parker, at least claims him as family and cares about his well-being enough to attempt to protect him from Raines whom she thought had ulterior motives when Raines gave Baby Parker treatment with a gas to loosen his lungs so that Baby Parker would not suffer the same fate as Raines, so he claimed.

After the events of Island of the Haunted we discover that if Baby Parker is the son of Mr. Parker and Brigitte, he is not biologically related to Miss Parker or Mr. Lyle.

There is some speculation that Baby Parker could actually be Mr. Lyle’s son.

Emily was born shortly after Jarod and Kyle were taken. After her brother’s disappeared her mother and father fled to keep themselves alive. When Catherine Parker died in the elevator Major Charles was away from his family who had to flee. They lost contact.

It is believed that Emily grew up with her mother, and spent most of her life searching for her family. In May of 2000, Major Charles received a tip to the whereabouts of Emily. And on May 13, 2000, Major Charles called Jarod to give him the good news. Jarod immediately went to find Emily who had become a journalist. When he arrived at her work place he discovered that she had been pushed out of her second story window. The culprit was Mr. Lyle. Jarod also discovered Emily was following another man believing he too was her brother.

Emily became a problem for the Centre when she started to research Ethan. The Centre didn’t want anyone to know that Ethan was Major Charles and Catherine Parker’s son. Mr. Lyle pushed her out a second story window. Jarod found her and transferred her to a secured location where she was able to recover.

Argyle is an impoverished but wily opportunist. He found Jarod suffering from exposure in the parking lot of an abandoned warehouse. Jarod had been struck unconscious by some drug-running truckers and left to die in the parking lot in the cold of night. Argyle’s dog, “Dog”, found Jarod and alerted Arygle to Jarod’s whereabouts.

Believing Jarod to be someone with a “big brain” who was certainly valuable to someone else, Argyle nursed the feverish and (temporarily) amnesiac Jarod back to health… after he stole all of Jarod’s money, went through Jarod’s personal items, and absconded with Jarod’s cell phone. After watching some of the DSAs in Jarod’s Halliburton case, and linking “The Centre” images on the DSAs with the telephone number for “Sydney” or Jarod’s cell phone, Argyle called The Centre to see if they were interested in getting Jarod returned to them.

The call to Sydney was intercepted, however, by Brigitte and Mr. Raines, who offered Argyle the pitiable sum of $10-thousand in exchange for Jarod. Not knowing any better, and ignoring Jarod’s warnings that Brigitte was an assassin, Argyle agreed to turn Jarod over to Brigitte. When Brigitte arrived at the warehouse with a pair of Sweepers, she saw to it that Argyle was stuffed into the trunk of her sedan and left orders with Willie the Sweeper to kill Argyle as soon as she had Jarod in custody.

Jarod managed to escape from the warehouse, overcome Brigitte and her Sweeper Team, and let Argyle out of the trunk of the car. Jarod did not, however, allow Argyle to keep the $10-thousand. Instead, he donated to the local humane society in Dog’s name.

In February of 1999, Argyle resurfaced and contacted Jarod. Argyle needed Jarod’s help with some loan-sharks he owed money.

In February of 2000, Argyle contacted Jarod again about helping him find his missing girlfriend. Jarod assumed the identity of a private investigator to help Argyle.

Ben was a nurturing friend to Miss Parker’s mother, Catherine, and, we discovered in the second season, is possibly Miss Parker’s biological father.

He runs a bed and breakfast in Lake Catherine, Maine. Catherine Parker used to come to visit him every year around April and stay with him for several weeks at a time. When she went on these “rendezvous” to see Ben, she told her husband and daughter that she was visiting “Aunt Dorothy”.

Ben still keeps a room for Catherine at the bed and breakfast, and has photographs of her and memorabilia stashed throughout the place. When Miss Parker, with the help of Jarod, initially met Ben she was astonished to find her mother’s picture in a prominent place in the B&B’s front hall.

Miss Parker met up briefly with Ben again when Jarod sent her on something of a wild goose chase throughout the Eastern seaboard. Eventually, Miss Parker and Ben found one another in a cafe… where Ben gave Miss Parker the last little figurine to a music box that had once been Catherine Parker’s. When Miss Parker put the figurine into its place, and started the box up, music played and figurines danced… and then a secret compartment in the bottom of the box opened up. A note inside suggested that Miss Parker had been conceived during one of Catherine Parker’s spring rendezvous with Ben.

Debbie Broots is Broots’ daughter. Broots won custody of her, after Jarod revealed to the judge overseeing the custody trial that Broots’ ex-wife had been using the child support Broots sent her to go on a gambling binge in Las Vegas.

Debbie is now living in Broots’ home, and bonded with Parker in the second season of the show, showing up in The Centre dressed and coifed like Miss P. Miss Parker gave Debbie the gift of the “Little Women” book her own mother Catherine had given to her (on the day Catherine died).

When her father was on the run from the Centre with Jarod; Miss Parker had Sam collected Debbie from school and take her to her own home to keep her protected.

Dr. Shafton is Sydney’s psychiatrist. Shortly before the shooting of Mr. Raines’ oxygen tank in Boston, Sydney had disclosed to Dr. Shafton that he often fantastized about murdering Raines. Dr. Raines had destroyed every subject he came in contact with at The Centre, Sydney claimed, and Sydney didn’t know how much more of Raines’ unethical dealings he could stand.

Sydney also confided in her that he was often frustrated and angry with Miss Parker because she, like her mother, pried into things that didn’t concern her. And he admitted to Shafton the wrong he did in helping The Centre keep Jarod a virtual prisoner for 30-years.

His confiding in Dr. Shafton is why she is a subject of interest.

Faith was only at the Centre for a short time. She was discovered, by Catherine Parker, in a nursing home. She was terminally ill with leukemia, and Catherine believed that the Centre would be able to help her. Catherine brought her to the Centre were she was cared for. Catherine and Mr. Parker adopted Faith, making her Miss Parker and Mr. Lyle’s sister. Catherine died shortly after bringing Faith to the Centre. Miss Parker, Jarod, and Angelo went on a search for a dead body within the Centre and soon discovered Faith. Miss Parker, Jarod, and Angelo became good friends with Faith and visited her often; however, she didn’t live long. She died on May 17, 1970, a little over a month after Catherine brought her to the Centre.

In February of 1999, Miss Parker’s ulcer burst and she was rushed to the hospital were she nearly died. Miss Parker swears that she saw Faith and that Faith told her that it wasn’t her time to die. At the same time Jarod was in an airplane accident and was stranded in the wilderness for several days, injured and without food. He too claims to have seen Faith.

Harriet Tashman shielded Jarod’s parents and Emily from The Centre at her farm, until Kyle (Jarod’s brother) came looking for them. Harriet later set up a meeting between Jarod and his parents, but the meeting was disrupted by Centre operatives who arrived at the scene themselves, and tried to kill Jarod’s family and return Jarod to the custody of The Centre. Before that, Harriet vanished.

Harriet had been a friend of Catherine Parker (when Catherine was still Catherine Jameson); they had both entered a convent together and had planned on becoming nuns. Catherine never completed her vows, and left he convent to marry Mr. Parker. Harriet remained with the convent for some time, but later left when she realized she didn’t really have “the calling” to be a nun. When they were younger Catherine Parker saved Harriet’s life. Harriet had tried to cross a frozen pond, fell through the ice and almost died. Catherine pulled her out of the pond to safety and breathed life back into her. Later, it was Catherine who brought Jarod’s parents to Harriet and asked Harriet to care for them.

Harriet has done all she can to see to it that Jarod’s family stays safe. When she contacted them to set up the meeting in Boston between them and Jarod, she wouldn’t even tell Jarod who she was making the plans with or where they were located. “Solemn vows die hard,” she told Jarod once.

Harriet was kidnapped by Kyle after he was released from Raines’s care. Kyle discovered she had ties to his parents and because of his angry nature, took his frustrations out on Harriet. Harriet feared Kyle until Jarod and Kyle were reunited. She then tried to help them find their parents and sister.

Jarod does not know where Harriet is now.

The janitor at NuGenesis had been at the facility since the 50’s and recognized Jarod’s photograph of Margaret. Although he knew that NuGenesis was responsible for the testing and experimentation on children, he kept his mouth shut about it because Dr. Boris Haring had been paying him off. After Dr. Boris died, the janitor stayed on with the facility. When, in 1998, Jarod arrived at the facility to search for clues about his past, the janitor recognized the photograph of Margaret and assisted Jarod in thwarting a joint Centre/NuGenesis plot to abduct another child (Davy) and turn him into a Pretender like Jarod.

The janitor said he remembers seeing Margaret shortly after Jarod was born, and expressed how happy and fulfilled she seemed to be. He saw he again, later, after Jarod had been kidnapped, and grieved with her over the loss of her son. (What Margaret was doing back at NuGenesis after Jarod’s kidnapping was not explained. She might have been looking for clues about his kidnappers… or she might have been there to adopt Kyle, but those scenarios are both SPECULATION at this point.)

The janitor was shot by Gar, and presumably killed, when he interfered with Gar’s attempt to recapture Jarod at the NuGenesis facility.
