Main characters

Lucy Preston

Lucy Preston (played by Abigail Spencer) is a history professor following her mother's footsteps. Despite her extensive knowledge of history, she is denied tenure by her university. One night, she is recruited by Homeland Security to the Lifeboat team as a history advisor to Wyatt Logan and Rufus Carlin in their mission to stop master criminal Garcia Flynn and recover the stolen experimental time machine Mothership. Throughout the team's adventures, Lucy personally encounters Flynn, who reveals that he possesses a journal she will write in the future. In the original timeline, her mother Carolyn is in the terminal stage of lung cancer, with her younger sister Amy caring for her. Following the Hindenburg mission, Lucy discovers that Carolyn no longer has cancer, but Amy no longer exists and she is engaged to a man named Noah. In addition, she finds out that Henry Wallace, her father in the original timeline, is not her biological father. After several arguments, Carolyn reveals Lucy's biological father as a man named Benjamin Cahill.[1]

Wyatt Logan

Wyatt Logan (played by Matt Lanter) is a U.S. Army Delta Force operative assigned to the Lifeboat team. As a military operative, he has expertise in weapons and picking locks, and is fluent in four languages. He constantly tries to cope with the loss of his wife Jessica, who was murdered after being reported missing in February 2012. Wyatt also suffers from PTSD after being the lone survivor of a failed operation.[1]

Rufus Carlin

Rufus Carlin (played by Malcolm Barrett) is a programmer at Mason Industries assigned as the pilot of the prototype time machine Lifeboat. He is initially uncomfortable with the idea of traveling with the team due to the unkind history of African-Americans over the centuries. Though he bonds well with his teammates, he is revealed to be recording their activities under Mason's orders. When Rufus threatens to quit, he is threatened by an agent of Rittenhouse to stay with the team in order to assure the safety of his family.[1]

Garcia Flynn

Garcia Flynn (played by Goran Višnjić) is the series' antagonist. A former NSA agent, Flynn steals Mason Industries' experimental time machine Mothership with the intent of destroying American history. While still with the NSA, Flynn intercepted a series of financial transactions between Mason and Rittenhouse. When he reported this to his superiors, Rittenhouse had his wife and daughter murdered; since then, he swore to destroy Rittenhouse through time travel. Flynn also possesses a journal written by Lucy sometime in the future, which he uses as a road map to his time travels.[1]

Connor Mason

Connor Mason (played by Paterson Joseph) is the CEO of Mason Industries and inventor of the two time machines in the series. Of Black British descent, Mason is a father figure to Rufus, having taken him off the streets of Chicago and providing him with an education at MIT. It is later revealed by Flynn that Rittenhouse had secretly funded Mason's time machine project. While they have mutual understandings with each other about the project, Mason questions Rittenhouse's decisions such as recruiting Lucy when there are hundreds of history professors in the country with actual tenure.

Denise Christopher

After the Hindenburg mission alters Lucy's family, Jiya helps her with a theory that Henry Wallace and Carol Preston never met, and concluded that Wallace was not Lucy's biological father.
