List of Final Destination characters

James Wong's, David R. Ellis', Steven Quale's, and Zach Lipovsky's & Adam Stein's American supernatural horror series Final Destination features a large cast of characters, many of whom were originally created by Glen Morgan and Jeffrey Reddick with contributions from James Wong (who directed and wrote the first and third films), J. Mackye Gruber (who wrote the second), Eric Bress (who wrote the second and fourth), Eric Heisserer (who wrote the fifth), and Guy Busick & Lori Evans Taylor (who wrote the sixth). The series comprises five films: Final Destination (2000), Final Destination 2 (2003), Final Destination 3 (2006), The Final Destination (2009), and Final Destination 5 (2011), with Final Destination Bloodlines scheduled for release in 2025.
Final Destination focuses on characters who experience a sudden premonition of themselves and several other people dying in a catastrophic accident, only to escape the event moments before it turns into a reality. The survivors are later killed one by one through bizarre accidents caused by an unseen force that creates complicated chains of cause and effect frequently resembling Rube Goldberg machines in their complexity. The series is noteworthy amongst others in the horror genre because the "villain" is not the stereotypical slasher or monster, but the Death itself—occasionally seen as a shadow or a wind gust—which manipulates the environment in deadly ways to reclaim the lives of the survivors.
The list of characters includes those who died in the initial premonitions and those who died among the survivors. Characters are listed in alphabetical order, and are arranged by chronological appearance. Unnecessary characters are excluded, for example, those who do not affect the story heavily. The characters' status indicates whether they are alive, deceased, or if it is unknown.
Final Destination is the first film in the Final Destination series. It focuses on high school student Alex Browning, who has a premonition about a catastrophic plane explosion that will kill everybody on board. He leaves the plane along with six other people—his best friend Tod Waggner, his arch-rival Carter Horton, Carter's girlfriend Terry Chaney, fellow classmates Clear Rivers and Billy Hitchcock, and their teacher Valerie Lewton—just before the explosion occurs, but Death begins to claim the lives of the survivors in the same order they should have died on the explosion.

Alex is a student at Mt. Abraham High School who boards Volée Airlines Flight 180 with his classmates for their senior trip to Paris, France. Before take-off, Alex has a premonition about a mechanical failure that will cause a mid-air explosion, killing everyone on board. When the events from his vision begin to occur in reality, he panics and is thrown off the plane along with five classmates and their teacher, all of whom witness the plane explode moments later.
One month later, Alex learns that Death is still after the survivors when they begin to die one by one in a series of bizarre accidents, and attempts to figure out Death's plan to save them. He manages to save Clear Rivers and Carter Horton, causing Death to skip them and leading the trio to believe they have cheated Death. Six months later, Alex, Clear, and Carter travel to Paris to celebrate their survival. However, Alex realizes that Death still has not skipped him and is nearly killed by a falling sign. Carter saves Alex, and Death skips him. When Carter asks who is the next to die, the sign swings back down and kills him.

They meet mortician William Bludworth, who warns them that Death is still after the survivors.
Clear is initially skeptical of Bludworth's warning until the survivors begin to die one by one in bizarre accidents. When Alex saves Carter Horton, he distances himself from Clear, believing that he is next on Death's list. However, Alex later learns that Clear is actually next and rushes to her house. Meanwhile, Clear gets trapped in her car—which leakes gas fluid and is surrounded by live wires—until Alex arrives to save her. He grabs the wires, allowing Clear to escape from the car before it explodes, and Death skips her.

Clear initially refuses, but later decides to help and introduces Kimberly and Thomas Burke to Bludworth, who explains that only "new life" can defeat Death.
Bludworth's information leads them to believe that if pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson has her baby it will ruin Death's plan, and the remaining survivors will all be safe. Clear, Kimberly, and Burke manages to save Isabella and her baby, but Kimberly later realizes that she was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore never on Death's list.

That same night, while Tod is in his bathroom, the toilet begins to leak and he slips, falling into the bathtub. A clothes line wraps around his neck and slowly suffocates him as he desperately attempts to free himself, but eventually dies from asphyxia. Tod's death is ruled a suicide; however, Alex refuses to believe that Tod killed himself and sneaks into the funeral home to examine his corpse.

A heavily-injured Lewton falls and reaches for a rag sitting on top a rack of knives on a counter, but it falls over and a knife impales her in the chest.
Upon Alex learns that she is next on Death's list, he arrives to save her, but the oven explodes and a chair falls on Lewton.

After Clear Rivers and Eugene Dix are killed in a room explosion, Dr. Kalarjian brings a crash cart to the victims. Moments later, she resuscitates Kimberly from drowning in a lake, which turns out to be the actual premonition regarding "new life".
In a deleted scene of Final Destination 3, Dr. Kalarjian is mentioned in a newspaper article that reveals she confirmed Kimberly's and Burke's deaths in a bizarre accident involving a woodchipper at a hardware store. In The Final Destination, Dr. Kalarjian is again mentioned in another newspaper article.
Eugene Dix is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up, and the sixth survivor to die.
Eugene is a high school teacher that, prior to the incident, was substituing Valerie Lewton at Mt. Abraham High School when a student from his previous school fatally stabbed his substitute teacher during class. Kimberly Corman has a premonition about a deadly pile-up on Route 23—in which Eugene's motorcycle crushes his torso after he skids across the road—and prevents him and several other people from entering the highway just as the vision turns into a reality.
Although he is initially skeptical that Death is still after him, Eugene meets up with the other survivors at Thomas Burke's apartment, where he witnesses Nora Carpenter's death. Horrified, Eugene takes Burke's gun and attempts to commit suicide, wanting to die on his own terms, but it fails despite the fact the gun was fully loaded. Clear Rivers explains that it was because it was not his turn to die yet. Afterwards, the remaining survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson.
On the way, Kat Jennings's SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van and they swerve onto the Gibbons' farm. Several PVC pipes penetrate the vehicle and puncture Eugene's lung; he is quickly rushed to Lakeview Hospital in an ambulance where he learns from a news broadcast that Kat and Rory Peters have already been killed, making him the next on Death's list. Numbed by hypoxia, Eugene helplessly watches as the vents close, his oxygen tanks' tubes snap, and his defibrillator's power plug disengages. However, the machine's emergency mode activates and revives him, but Clear abruptly opens his door—which completely detaches the plug, creating a spark that ignites the oxygen—and incinerates them both in a subsequently explosion.
During the opening credits of The Final Destination, Eugene's death is shown in X-ray format. In Final Destination 5, Eugene's death is shown in a montage before the end credits.
Evan Lewis is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up, and the first survivor to die.

He is brought to the police station for questioning, but is released and returns to his apartment. Evan heats up some Chinese noodles in the microwave, unaware that a refrigerator magnet has fallen in the box, and fries mozzarella sticks on the stove. While trying on his jewerly, the microwave sparks and causes him to drop his new ring down the sink. Evan reaches into the drain to retrieve it, but his watch causes his hand to get stuck. The stove starts to flare and he attempts to put out the fire with his shirt, inadvertently causing the pan to fall over and set the entire apartment on fire. When Evan finally frees his hand, he tries to use a fire extinguisher, but it stalls.
Desperate, Evan smashes the windows, and leaves seconds before his kitchen explodes. He climbs down the fire escape, but as he walks away, slips on spaghetti—which he threw out the window moments earlier—and the ladder falls, impaling his right eye. Evan's death alarms the other survivors, who watch a news coverage of the incident.
During the opening credits of The Final Destination, Evan's death is shown in X-ray format. In Final Destination 5, Evan's death is shown in a montage before the end credits.

When Kimberly realizes that Death is still after the survivors, she learns that "new life" can defeat Death. Isabella is incarcereted by a deputy officer under Thomas Burke's orders to protect her until she has her baby. While in jail, Isabella's water breaks and the deputy rushes her to Lakeview Hospital. On the way, Kat Jennings's SUV almost collides with Isabella's van; nonetheless, she arrives at the hospital unharmed. At the hospital, Kimberly has another vision of what appears to be Isabella's physician, Ellen Kalarjian, "strangling" her and Burke stops Dr. Kalarjian from disrupting Isabella's pregnancy while she successfully delivers her infant son.
Kimberly and Burke believe that they have cheated Death, but then realize that Isabella was never meant to die in the pile-up, and was therefore not on Death's list, making their efforts futile as Clear Rivers and Eugene Dix are killed in an explosion.
Katherine "Kat" Jennings is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up, and the fourth survivor to die.
Kat is a successful marketing consultant for a business firm that, prior to the incident, was scheduled for a client meeting at a local bed and breakfast, but the bus where she was on fatally ran over Terry Chaney, and Kat avoided a gas leak that killed everyone in the lodge.

She initially disregards Kimberly's theory that Death may still be after the survivors. Nonetheless, Kat meets up with them at Thomas Burke's apartment, where she and Clear Rivers attempt to save Nora Carpenter from being decapitated by an elevator, but are unable to. Kat offers to drive the remaining survivors in her SUV, but it suffers a blow and nearly collides with Isabella Hudson's van, swerving onto the Gibbons' farm. Kat's SUV is penetrated by PVC pipes, and she is trapped in her seat by a log.

Kimberly and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning, where she and Eugene Dix explain the similarities between their experience and the survivors of Flight 180. After Evan Lewis' death, Kimberly asks for help from Flight 180's last survivor Clear Rivers, who initially refuses, but later introduces her and Burke to William Bludworth. He explains that only "new life" can defeat Death, leading them to believe that if pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson has her baby, it will ruin Death's plan and they will all be safe.
Although Clear and the remaining survivors meet their demises, Kimberly and Burke manage to save Isabella, who successfully delivers her infant son. However, Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never on Death's list and attempts to sacrifice herself by driving a van into a lake to drown, but she is rescued by Burke and resuscitated by Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her a "new life".
In a deleted scene of Final Destination 3, a newspaper article reveals that after the events of Final Destination 2, Kimberly and Burke were eventually killed after being knocked into a woodchipper at a hardware store. As these deaths only occurred in a deleted scene and were never mentioned, it is debatable whether they are canonical or not.

Kimberly Corman has a premonition about a deadly pile-up on Route 23—in which Nora's car crashes into a log, killing both her and Tim—and prevents them from entering the highway just as the vision turns into a reality. She and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning, where Kimberly warns that Death may still be after them, but Nora dismisses her theory and leaves.
The following day, she witness Tim's death upon leaving his dentist appointment, which leaves her devastated.

While inside an elevator with Eugene Dix, her hair gets entangled with hooked prosthetic limbs from a man standing behind her. Nora's neck is trapped between the elevator doors as she tries to escape; the elevator then starts to move. Clear Rivers and Kat Jennings try to help her, but the elevator continues to rise until Nora is finally decapitated, much to Eugene's and the man's horror.

Horrified by what he had seen, Rory decided to go to his hotel instead of attending a theater that later collapsed on the guests. Kimberly Corman has a premonition about a deadly pile-up on Route 23—in which Rory's car crashes into a garbage truck, killing him—and prevents him from entering the highway just as the vision turns into a reality.
He and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning, where Kimberly warns that Death may still be after the survivors, but Rory does not take her seriously. Nonetheless, he meets up with them at Thomas Burke's apartment and tries to stop a traumatized Eugene Dix from committing suicide after he witnessed Nora Carpenter's death. When the remaining survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson in Kat Jennings's SUV, the vehicle swerves onto the Gibbons farm and is penetrated by PVC pipes.
While there, Rory pulls teenage farmer Brian Gibbons out of the path of a speeding news van, unintentionally adding Brian to Death's list. He later asks Kimberly to hide his drug addictions from his mother if he dies. When Kat is killed, she drops a cigarette into a fuel leakage from the news van, which explodes and sends a barbed wire fence flying through Rory, dismembering him.
During the opening credits of The Final Destination, Rory's death is shown in X-ray format. In Final Destination 5, Rory's death is shown in a montage before the end credits.

Shaina goes on a road trip to Daytona Beach, Florida with his friends Kimberly Corman, Dano Estevez, and Frankie Whitman for spring break. En route, Kimberly has a premonition about a massive pile-up, in which a semi-truck smashes into her SUV, killing all four of them. When Kimberly stalls her SUV to prevent other people from entering the highway, state trooper Thomas Burke pushes her out of the way as Shaina, Dano, and Frankie are killed by the same truck from Kimberly's premonition.

Thomas Burke is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up.
Burke is a New York state trooper in Westchester County, who also performs secondary tasks such as police investigation and crime scene cleanup. One year earlier, he was ordered to clean up Billy Hitchcock's remains, and therefore avoided a shootout in which his partner was killed. Kimberly Corman has a premonition about a deadly pile-up on Route 23—in which Burke is decapitated when a log crashes through his windshield—and prevents him from entering the highway just as the vision turns into a reality.
When the survivors are brought to the police station for questioning, Burke is the only one who considers Kimberly's theory that Death may still be after them. After Evan Lewis' death, Burke and Kimberly attempt to save the remaining survivors with the help of Clear Rivers. She introduces them to William Bludworth, who explains that only "new life" can defeat Death. It leads the trio to believe that if pregnant survivor Isabella Hudson has her baby, it will ruin Death's plan and they will all be safe.
Burke falsely accusses Isabella of stealing her van, and she is incarcerated. After the deaths of several other survivors, Isabella goes into labor, and Burke, Kimberly, and Clear rush to Lakeview Hospital, where they witness Isabella give birth. They believe they have finally cheated Death until Kimberly realizes that Isabella was never on Death's list, which leads to Clear's death. Kimberly sacrifices herself and drowns in a lake, but Burke saves her and she is resuscitated by Ellen Kalarjian, thus granting her a "new life".
In a deleted scene of Final Destination 3, a newspaper article reveals that after the events of Final Destination 2, Burke and Kimberly were eventually killed after being knocked into a woodchipper at a hardware store. As these deaths only occurred in a deleted scene and were never mentioned, it is debatable whether they are canonical or not.

He and the other survivors are brought to the police station for questioning, where Kimberly warns that Death may still be after them, but Tim ignores her and leaves.
The following day, Tim and Nora go to his dentist appointment, where Tim is infused with nitrous oxide until the dentist leaves due to an emergency. He is unable to move when a plastic blowfish from a hanging mobile falls into his mouth, and nearly chokes him to death, but another dentist enters the room and removes it before it happens. As Tim and Nora leave, Kimberly and Thomas Burke warn them about pigeons; Tim scares several pigeons near a pavement away for fun, but one of them blinds a construction worker in a crane, who accidentally hits a switch that drops a windowpane above Tim, crushing him.

She convinces nine other people—her sister Julie Christensen, her friend Kevin Fischer, Julie's best friend Perry Malinowski, alumnus Frankie Cheeks, goth couple Ian McKinley and Erin Ulmer, best friends Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin, and athlete Lewis Romero—not to ride the roller coaster just before the derailment occurs.
When Death begins to claim the lives of the survivors in the same order they should have died on the derailment, Wendy realizes the photographs she took that night contain clues about her classmates' deaths and tries to use this knowledge to save them.
Amber Regan is a sophomore at McKinley High School, who visits the amusement park without permission with her best friends Julie Christensen and Perry Malinowski. Unlike them, she does not board the Devil's Flight roller coaster and is thus spared from its derailment.

Wendy panics and when a fight breaks out, they both leave in annoyance as the derailment occurs moments later.
Weeks later, Ashley and Ashlyn visit a tanning salon, where the former ignores the manager's warning to throw out her iced beverage, and sets it on a table above the power supply unit. Ashlyn turns up the air conditioner, while Ashley accidentally pulls a shelf loose while browsing through CDs. They both lie in tanning beds until condensation from Ashley's beverage drips onto the power supply unit and malfunctions; the air conditioner causes a coat rack to fall against a plant, which knocks down the shelf. It slides into the openings in the handles of both beds, trapping Ashley and Ashlyn inside. As the temperature rises, they both scream in agony while the beds overheat and burst into flames, burning them both alive.
In an alternate version, Ashlyn gets out from her tanning bed before the shelf traps her; however, it knocks her unconscious while Ashley begins to be burned alive. Ashlyn later wakes up to Ashley's screams and manages to open her tanning bed, but the glass under Ashley shatters and exposes live wires underneath, electrocuting them both.

Wendy panics and a fight breaks out between Kevin Fischer and Lewis Romero. The latter accidentally slaps Erin, and Ian gets involved until they are all thrown off the ride as the derailment occurs moments later.
As the survivors begin to die in bizarre accidents, Wendy and Kevin go to a hardware store where Erin and Ian work to warn them about Death's list, but they remain skeptical. Unbeknownst to them, a forklift punctures a shelf, causing several wood planks to fall above Ian; Wendy manages to save Ian before he is impaled, and Death skips him.

She panics and when a fight breaks out, Frankie follows Ashley and Ashlyn off the ride as the derailment occurs moments later.
Weeks later, Wendy and Kevin Fischer stop at a local drive-through, where a truck rams into the side of Kevin's vehicle and traps them. As they attempt to escape, another truck without its driver rolls down a hill towards them. Kevin tries to warn the driver in front, but is ignored and forced to break his own windshield to escape with Wendy. The truck crashes into Kevin's vehicle and discharges a motor fan that hurls towards the driver in front, slicing off the back of his head. It is revealed that the driver was in fact Frankie.
In an alternate version, Kevin saves Frankie from the motor fan; Frankie reveals that he plans to use the insurance money from both trucks' drivers on prostitutes instead of buying a new car to replace his wrecked one.

A cart of fireworks go off in their direction, missing Kevin, Wendy, Julie and Ian, but striking a cherry picker behind Ian.

Erik proceeds to clean it, but pushes his chair too hard and it hits a gallon of isopropyl alcohol. After the gallon fell over, it spills while a chain from the ceiling breaks and attaches itself onto Erik's nose ring.
