Missy Peregrym as Scarlett Harker or Scarlet Van Helsing

Scarlett Harker, also known as Scarlett Van Helsing, is Vanessa Van Helsing’s long-lost twin sister.

When the sisters were separated at age 5, Scarlett was raised by the Harkers. She was trained to be a vampire slayer. Scarlett did not believe it until a vampire came to kill her when she was a teenager. She then had to fake her own death so she could prepare for her destiny.

Missy Peregrym - Scarlet Van Helsing

Before reuniting with her sister and mother, Scarlett was a lone-wolf survivor of The Rising. She is an excellent combatant, highly skilled with her katana, and is fiercely independent-minded, thanks to the Harkers who prepared her well for the doomsday. Unlike everyone else, Scarlett found her purpose in The Rising. She is good at hunting and killing vampires.

Everything changed when she met her twin sister Vanessa. Vanessa’s bite woke her dormant vampire abilities. She becomes capable of curing vampires with her blood. She heals instantaneously, can see in the dark heals, and has enhanced hearing abilities. Scarlett, however, does not drink blood like Vanessa. She also cannot resurrect herself as her sister does.

Scarlett stabbed herself to cause the dark in Vanessa’s heart to go away so that Vanessa would have the motivation to kill the last elder, Sam.

Aleks Paunovic as Julius

Aleks Paunovic portrays Julius, a recurring character in Seasons 1 to 4 of Van Helsing. Julius was a low-level vampire who cowers in the shadows and feeds on unconscious junkies, determined to maintain a low profile. After The Rising, he rose to the ranks and became one of the top vampires in Seattle. He became power-hungry, aggressive, and blood-thirsty. With his advanced speed, advanced strength, longevity, and super senses, he built his own community of vampires. Julius is terrifying and he instills fear to his followers so they obey his every command. He compels them to do things that he would never do himself. While Julius is powerful and strong, he is no match to his maker, Dmitri.

Julius was been reverted back into a human after being bitten by Vanessa Helsing. But he is no ordinary human because he becomes immune to the vampire bites, he heals from any injury very quickly, and he will resurrect every time he is killed. He then became Vanessa’s strong ally in fighting against vampires.
