Arjan

* Human
* Werewolf

**Arjan** is an Indian-American werewolf and leader of the Staten Island Werewolf Support Group. He appears in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## Biography

When Laszlo realized a werewolf had urinated on one of his topiary designs, he left a trap outside. The following night, Arjan, in werewolf form, got caught in it. He lost consciousness and the vampires brought him inside while Guillermo bandaged his leg. He reverted back to human form, woke up and threatened the vampires for having harmed him. He then leapt out the window.

Soon after, Arjan recovered and returned with his pack, who urinated all over the vampires' garden. Laszlo and Arjan fought until Nandor interrupted, demanding that the two groups follow the rules of “the truce”. He recited the Staten Island Lycanthrope Vampire Agreement of 1993, which states that they must get their strongest vampire to fight the pack’s strongest werewolf to settle the feud.

The vampires and werewolves decided to face each other on the roof of an abandoned Circuit City store. Nandor was chosen to face off against Toby, the largest werewolf of the pack. Toby transformed by merely imagining a full moon, but Nandor defeated him by throwing a squeaky bone toy off the roof, which Toby jumped after. The vampires flew away, leaving a frightened Guillermo at the scene, but the werewolves left him alone to look after Toby and requested to keep the bone.

Baron’s familiar

The **Baron’s familiar** is an unnamed human character who appears in What We Do in the Shadows (TV series).

## Biography

The familiar helped ship Baron Afanas to Staten Island in a stone coffin to meet the vampires Laszlo, Nadja and Nandor. At their residence, The Baron emerged and demanded the vampires take over the new world by the time he reawakened. His familiar remained in the flat as he slept and became a source of annoyance for the vampires as she kept sneaking up on them unexpectedly, never speaking.

The vampires’ plots to take over the island failed. When the Baron woke again, he demanded to have a ‘night on the town’ to experience Staten Island. As he prepared to go out, the vampires contemplated killing him to save themselves. Unbeknownst to them, his familiar overheard this while spying on them.
Later that night, while with the vampires outside, the Baron insisted on eating a pizza pie containing garlic. This caused him to vomit so forcefully he flew into the air, but he was unharmed. The familiar witnessed this from a distance on the rooftops.

The Baron and the other vampires became intoxicated after consuming the blood of humans under the influence of alcohol and drugs. They returned to the flat as dawn approached, only for Nandor's familiar Guillermo to return shortly afterwards, accidentally killing the Baron by opening the door and exposing him to sunlight as his familiar looked on in horror.

That night, the familiar watched from inside as the vampires buried The Baron with no memory of how he died. For his death, they were summoned to a trial from the Vampiric Council by a floating woman. At the trial, the familiar arrived as a witness and finally spoke, saying she overheard the vampire’s plot to kill The Baron and witnessed them letting him eat human food. The vampires were found guilty and sentenced to death by sunlight in a well. They were however rescued by their roommate Colin and Guillermo shielding them with an umbrella.

Joe Blakes

**Joe Blakes** is a shapeshifter living in Wellington. He appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

As a shapeshifter, Blakes required regular feedings on human fear to survive. In order to maintain a constant source, he took up a job as the manager of Fear Factory, a haunted house attraction in Cuba Street. While working there, he frightened some of his patrons so severely that they died of heart failure.

One night, Blakes' feedings got out of hand and he left the premises to feed on a group of colleagues who had just visited Fear Factory on a work outing. He turned into a giant rat to frighten Dave, a faceless man to scare Lorraine, and went as far as to transform into a shark and bit the leg of Paul. Officers O'Leary and Minogue arrived and arrested Blakes alongside his other innocent workers.

In the interrogation room, Blakes complained of feeling hungry. When Sergeant Maaka refused him food, he transformed into a giant spider to terrify him and had to be held in a cell. There, he turned into a bottomless bit to corner the supervising Officer Roy, who was afraid of heights. The Paranormal Unit rescued Roy and Blakes escaped in the distraction. He left the station, turning into centipedes, “tiger bats” and Darth Vader to scare off the police force.

Maaka concluded that Blakes was a shapeshifter and sent O'Leary and Minogue, accompanied by Constable Parker, to find him. Meanwhile, Blakes returned to Cuba Street and scared Lorraine again, this time by turning into a giant snake with a human face, and scared a young man afraid of climate change by turning into a melting iceberg. The two officers followed his trail back into Fear Factory, where Blakes tried to feed off Minogue by turning into a stage (representing his fear of public speaking), sock puppets and balloons. He then found O'Leary and turned into an excessively critical and embarrassing form of her mother. Despite the officers' attempts at resistance, Blakes overpowered them and they had to call for backup from Constable Parker. Parker had so many phobias that Blakes overwhelmed himself trying to shapeshift into all of them, and collapsed into a puddle of buttons. The Paranormal Unit apprehended him by trapping the buttons in a jar.

Anton

* Human
* Werewolf

**Anton** is the leader of a werewolf pack in Te Aro. He appears in *What We Do in the Shadows*, *Wellington Paranormal* and is set to appear in *We're Wolves*.

## Biography

Anton’s role in the pack is to help prevent the other werewolves from transforming prematurely and ensuring they do not harm others when they inevitably transform. He does so by preventing the werewolves from becoming angry through discouraging swearing and practicing breathing exercises, among other methods.

The documentary crew first encountered Anton’s pack when they passed the vampire flatmates and their human friend Stu. Deacon deliberately began to agitate them and Anton had to calm the pack down and prevent them from transforming, which some of them almost did. Anton eventually helped solve the conflict in a civil manner and they left the vampires.

A few weeks later, as the pack raced to chain themselves to trees before the full moon emerged, the vampire flatmates, who were leaving the Unholy Masquerade ball, began to pester them again. In the distraction, the pack failed to chain themselves and transformed under the full moon. They attacked the group and documentary crew, leaving one member seriously injured or killed. Stu was disembowelled by the pack. Police officers O'Leary and Minogue assumed his injuries were caused by a dog and an ambulance was called. However as Stu was being carried in, he sprang back to life and fled the scene. He blacked out and woke up to see the pack in human form and mostly naked, with Anton offering him new clothes. Stu, now a werewolf, was accepted into the pack.

Shortly afterwards, Nick discovered Stu and brought him back to the flat, causing the vampires to befriend Anton and the pack.

O'Leary and Minogue encountered Anton again, now working as a park ranger in the Remutaka Range, when they investigated the disappearance of a local YouTuber with footage showing him being dragged off by a large hairy monster. Anton was cagey about the disappearance, and refused to help them during the night of a full moon. Officer Minogue remembered seeing a documentary in which he saw Anton transform into a werewolf, suspecting that he could be the perpetrator, although in the end it turned out to be a maero.

Disorientated Farmer

The unnamed **disorientated farmer** is a resident of Wellington whose physical appearance was adapted by extraterrestrial florae. He appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

Officers O’Leary and Minogue were sent to a farm to investigate a second report of a cow stuck up a tree, which Maaka suspected was due to UFOs. On the way, they encountered the farmer, who appeared very confused and dishevelled. He claimed to have been assaulted by several creatures and recalled bright lights. The officers assumed he was hungover from a stag night and drove away.

At the farm, the officers encountered the farmers Muzza, Buzza and Bazza, and Bazza’s family. It is heavily implied that they were all extraterrestrial florae who adapted the physical appearance of the disorientated farmer as a human disguise, although O’Leary and Minogue failed to realise this.

Coach Swanson

**Coach Swanson** is a women’s volleyball coach from Clairton, Pennsylvania. She appears in *What We Do in the Shadows* (TV series).

## Biography

When Laszlo had to go into hiding to escape the fellow vampire Jim, he fled to Clairton and adopted a new human alias, ‘Jackie Daytona’. He killed the owner of Lucky Brew’s Bar and Grill, took over his position and became immediately popular with the town’s people. He also dedicated much time into supporting Swanson’s team, the Bucks, and helped them achieve greater success.

Soon afterwards, Swanson announced that the team qualified for the state tournament, but couldn’t afford to take part due to state budget cuts. Laszlo decided to hold a talent contest at the bar to raise money for the team. The show successfully raised enough money, but during the show, Jim arrived out of sympathy for the team. He finally realised ‘Jackie’ was Laszlo and the two vampires fought, scaring away the show’s attendees. Laszlo tried to fight back with fire-breathing and accidentally set all the money on fire.

Upset at the loss of the money, the vampires settled their differences, with Laszlo giving Jim the bar’s Big Mouth Billy Bass toy, claiming that it was a one-of-a-kind machine. Laszlo got the money back by burning down Lucky Brew’s and cashing in on the insurance. He then hypnotized the whole town into forgetting vampires existed and recommended Jim as another coach for the Bucks. The team took him on and he embraced his new position. During one match however, his Billy Bass broke and Coach Swanson casually offered to buy him a new one, leaving Jim enraged at the realization that Laszlo had conned him.

Invisible Fiend

"**Invisible Fiend**" is the first episode of the third series of *Wellington Paranormal*, and the fourteenth episode overall. It aired on 24 February 2021.

## Synopsis

Officers Minogue and O'Leary and Sergeant Maaka return in an all-new season of the highly popular paranormal cop comedy. Tonight, Minogue and O'Leary go after a monstrous invisible force.

## Plot Summary

Officers Minogue and O'Leary respond to a call from a family of three who have returned to their house from a holiday to see that someone has appeared to have broken in. The officers enter and find an invisible force wrecking the house. They pursue it outside and they manage to bring it into the police car handcuffed to Minogue.

In the interrogation room, Parker uses heat-vision goggles in order to see the being, and is horrified to realise it is a large monster with several tentacles. The batteries of the goggles run out and Parker accidentally lets the monster escape from the room by opening the door to let out heat.

The Paranormal Unit chase the monster around the station using the night vision goggles plugged into the mains. The monster overpowers the four cops before exiting the building just before Sergeant Maaka can press the lockdown button. The door shutter cuts off one of the monster’s tentacles, which becomes visible as it falls to the floor.

Parker is ordered to take the tentacle to the evidence room, and his hand becomes invisible after coming into contact with the monster’s blood. Meanwhile, O'Leary and Minogue attempt to track down the monster by foot and car, but have no way of recharging the goggles. Defeated, the two officers reconvene in the station with Maaka and a now fully-invisible Parker, who has taken all his clothes off to check how invisible he has become.

In the morning, the officers return to the family home to file a victim’s report. They interview the parents, who say everything has gone back to normal, but O'Leary notices a child’s drawing on the fridge resembling the monster. The parents say the drawing is of “Daisy”, the imaginary friend of their young daughter Megan.

The officers go into Megan’s room and find her having a pretend tea party with a calm Daisy and several other imaginary friends. The officers conclude that Daisy has not broken any laws, but will have to wear a tracking device for security.

At the police station, Parker regains visibility while still naked, much to Maaka's annoyance.

Extraterrestrial floras

The **extraterrestrial floras** are plant-like aliens from beyond Earth.

## Characteristics

The creatures begin as small buds capable of spraying a defensive orange pollen when disturbed. They will then grow into larger plant-like lifeforms in a short period of time.

To disguise themselves as a human, a flora will "probe" a human using tentacles. They will then slowly take their form, mimicking their voice, appearance and clothing, the only noticeable physical difference being green genitals. Floras who imitate humans can then create clones of themselves that also resemble the same human, although the resemblance can vary on the quality of the batch.

The floras are able to spit acid, which can burn through clothes, though is not incredibly harmful to human skin. While immune to tasers and weedkiller, floras can be killed by slugs, which enjoy feasting on them.

Floras travel through space using UFOs.

## History

The extraterrestrials visited the Wellington countryside, six of them taking on the appearance of an individual in varying sizes: Buzza, Muzza, Bazza, his son, his daughter and Sharon. They attempted to abduct a cow and drew crop circles in a field, leaving seeds of their young. These seeds were soon found, one being contained and taken back to Wellington Central Police Station. They grew to full-size, the contained one attacking Sergeant Ruawai Maaka and the others attacking Officers O'Leary and Minogue. The police officers eventually trapped them in a farmer's shed, but they quickly got loose, adopting the cops' physical appearances before fleeing in a UFO.

The following year, the three floras taking on the appearance of the Paranormal Unit took part in a plan to take over Earth and eat all the humans. They took over Parklands Motel in Hemahema and made numerous clones of themselves. This was brought to the unit's attention when a dead body resembling Minogue was found. The Paranormal Unit went to Hemahema to investigate and the clones captured them to be studied and eaten. The unit fought back using slugs from Minogue's salad, causing the floras to retreat to their UFO.

**Evan**, also known as **The Immortal Princess of the Undead**, is a member of the Vampiric Council. She appears in the *What We Do in the Shadows* TV series.

## Biography

After Baron Afanas was accidentally burned to death by sunlight in the Staten Island vampire residence, Laszlo, Nadja and Nandor buried him in their garden. The Vampiric Council found out about his death (it is not known how, but it may have been from his familiar) and summoned the vampires to a trial at the Temple of Blood-Devourers.

The roommates met the Vampiric Council at the temple, with Evan serving as a judge. In accordance with vampire law, they had to have a local vampire present, which turned out in this case to be Colin. The Baron’s familiar was first to testify and claimed witness to the vampires letting Afanas eat human food and said she overhead them plotting to kill him. This caused the Council to admit that none of them ever really liked Afanas.

Guillermo was then summoned and confessed to the murder by sunlight. None of the Council believed him, thinking he was too weak to kill a vampire or simply lying to protect his master. As the Council proposed eating him, Nandor confessed to the crime. Tilda found the vampires guilty of premeditated vampicide and sentenced them to death by exposure to sunlight in a well.

The three vampires are led into the well, but as the sun emerges, they are saved by Colin holding a new umbrella over the well with Guillermo. The vampires escaped by turning into bats and hiding in a cardboard box carried by Guillermo, unknown to the Council.

Katherine

**Katherine Heimburg** is a 96 year-old vampire and girlfriend of Viago. She appears in *What We Do in the Shadows* (film).

## Biography

Katherine is originally from Europe. During her human life as a young woman, the vampire Viago fell in love with her. She moved to New Zealand with her family, leaving Viago with only a locket with her picture in it. He couldn’t wear it as it was made from silver. Viago had his familiar, Phillip, transport him to New Zealand in a shipping crate. Phillip got the address wrong and Viago’s arrival was delayed by eighteen months. By the time he arrived, she had found a new love and got married.

At the time of the documentary filming, Katherine was a 96 year-old widow living in the Rita Angus Retirement Village and Viago still longed for her. Eventually, he found the courage to float into her window to greet her and she recognised him immediately. He turned her into a vampire so they could be together forever, and she embraced the vampire lifestyle, with Viago taking her surname. Viago admitted that he was aware there was an age gap (he was almost four times older than her), but said he didn't care about people judging him for it.

Sergeant Maaka sent the two cops back to the house the following morning to file a victim's report. While interviewing Steve and Jane, O'Leary noticed Megan's drawing of Daisy and realised it was the monster. The officers went to Megan's room and found her having a tea party with Daisy and her other imaginary friends.

When Colin’s house became infested with ghosts, the residents held several séances to fix the problem. Throughout the day, Colin had been experimenting with using humour to drain people’s energy, but no-one fell for his “updog” joke.

When things calmed down in the house, Colin held a séance by himself and summoned his grandmother so that he could finally tell her the joke, which she enjoyed. Although she was happy to see him, Colin said he was too busy to catch up and blew out the candle, ending the séance and causing her to disappear.

Most of the world was led to believe that he suddenly died in 1977, at the age of 42, though in reality he was actually turned into a vampire by Laszlo Cravensworth. Elvis hid from the public, but continued to record music, occasionally renting a coffin in the basement of Laszlo’s Staten Island home to do so.

### What We Do in the Shadows, Season 2: 2020

Nadja invited Simon the Devious to stay at their home, who accepted in order to steal back Laszlo’s cursed witch skin hat and at the same time, secretly recruited Elvis into his gang, the Leather Skins.

After stealing the hat, Simon led the house residents into the sewers, where they were outnumbered by the Leather Skins, including Elvis. Simon's foot had fused with the sewer grate he was standing on, which led him to slowly drown in the liquid below. Along with the other members of the group, Elvis was upset by Simon's declaration of dissatisfaction with the Leather Skins, and Elvis refused to help him.

### What We Do in the Shadows, Season 4: 2022

Elvis returns alongside Simon and the Leather Skins in a plot to steal the witch skin hat once again, posing as a home-improvement show, *Go Flip Yourself* and infiltrating the Staten Island Vampire Residence.

Chloe Patterson

**Chloe Patterson** is a medium. She appears in *Wellington Paranormal*.

## Biography

When officers O’Leary and Minogue investigated a noise complaint about a party in 23 Tukariri Street, all the people in the house suddenly disappeared and Minogue saw a disturbing spirit. Sergeant Maaka suspected the partygoers were ghosts and hired Chloe Patterson to help the Paranormal Unit. Chloe analysed the drawing of the ghost and claimed he was a murder victim. She then picked up a message from Minogue’s grandfather telling him to not ‘worry about the money’ and that he was proud of him. As Minogue’s grandfather was still alive, O’Leary was sceptical of Patterson’s abilities.

Chloe accompanied the officers into the empty house. While trying to communicate with the spirits, she became frightened by the ghost of a woman carrying a birthday cake phasing into her and then through a wall. Chloe tried to run away and was pulled into a room containing a hot tub with a couple in it. When Minogue attempted to enter, the room became a normal unoccupied bathroom.

Maaka eventually arrived and the police tried to go into the hot tub room again. They found Chloe enjoying the tub with a couple, Rochelle and Peter. The ghost of Raymond St John, the party host, suddenly possessed Chloe, taunting the officers and demanding that the party continue. He left Chloe’s body and the party eventually ended when the police encouraged the guests to pass into the afterlife and arrested Raymond.
