Vincent Gale as Flesh

Flesh, whose real name is Phil Fleischman, is one of the main characters of SyFy’s Van Hesling. Phil was bitten by a vampire named Julius on the day of the Rising. His children were his first victims as a vampire. He later became Julius’ top lieutenants and went by the name Flesh. Three years after The Rising, he was sent to bite and kill Vanessa, who lays unconscious at the hospital. His bite awakens her, and her blood turned him back to being human.

As a vampire, Flesh had no conscience and has done a number of terrible acts under Julius’ command. He possessed the typical abilities associated with vampires, such as healing abilities, speed, super strength, and longevity.

As a human, Flesh is a decent man, but he lives with the guilt of what he once was, especially with what he did to his family. He tries to make it up for all the horrible things he has done, and he helps Vanessa in any way possible. Now that he is human again, Flesh prefers to be called Phil. Phil hates Julius more than anyone. After biting Vanessa, he lost all his vampiric abilities and became immune to vampirism. His blood is also not appetizing to vampires, and he can sense Vanessa’s presence. His old shoulder injury has reemerged, and his poor eyesight has returned. After being bitten by the Daywalkers, he can heal from any injury almost instantaneously. He can also resurrect every time he dies.

Phil Fleischman currently leads his wife and son to a safe place away from vampires.

Rukiya Bernard as Doc

Doc, whose real name is Sarah Carol, worked at Seattle Valley General Hospital before The Rising. She was tasked to examine Vanessa Van Helsing‘s ‘corpse.’ She found that Vanessa is neither dead nor alive. Six months after The Rising, Doc was turned into a vampire. She was bitten by a vampire while doing a very selfish act. Axel locked her up and kept her alive until Vanessa cured her.

Doc thinks more of herself than the people around her, even if they sacrificed for her. In a matter of life and death, she would always choose to save herself even if others still have a chance to survive. She even left Axel to die at the Farm when she could have done something to save him. She also lacks the ability to gain composure during a combat situation, causing her to recklessly act before thinking. Despite that, Doc is very intelligent, practical, and quite empathetic. And she tried her best to make up for her shortcomings, saving several people in the process, including Axel.

Just like everyone else cured by Vanessa, Doc is immune to the vampire bite, and her blood is unappetizing and does not provide nourishment to vampires. Doc can also sense Vanessa’s presence.
