On The Strain, Charlotte (Rhona Mitra) is a mid-western farmer and Fet’s lover. Following the nuclear bomb in New York City, Fet and Quinlan move west to find a solution to the strigoi outbreak in the city, and Charlotte comes to their aid. As a beautiful but rugged farm girl, Charlotte’s clothing is all about utility, and she’s very comfortable with hunting and the outdoors.

In King of the Hill, Dale Gribble is Hank Hill’s friend and neighbor. Dale enjoys driving around in the Bug-e-bago and spraying things with toxic chemicals, an exterminator by trade. At least that’s what they’d like to you believe…

On The Strain, New York City has fallen to an ancient strain of vampires, the strigoi. Vaun (Stephen McHattie) is the leader of a band of undead hunters who were summoned by the Ancient Ones to stop the spread of the strigoi plague. Vaun resembles the other strigoi, though his distinctive feature is his Glasgow smile. With the proper prosthetics, makeup colors, and blackout contact lenses, Vaun’s look can be easily achieved.

On The Strain, Quinlan (Rupert Penry-Jones) is a vampire/human hybrid who helps the humans fight the vampire outbreak. While his mother was pregnant, she was turned by the strigoi, an ancient line of vampires, and it resulted in him being half human and half strigoi. As a pariah, he resents the Master for his condition, and makes it his life’s purpose to hunt him. The most distinctive aspects of Quinlan’s appearance are his facial scars, gray skin, and pale blue eye color, which can be achieved with zombie makeup. Another unique feature of his character is his scrimshaw, bone-handle sword, which isn’t available. With a little effort, a prop bone can be cut and fixed to the handle of a foam prop sword, and painted to look like an aged bone with scrimshaw markings.

On The Strain, Dutch Velders (Ruta Gedmintas) is a streetwise internet hacker who worked for Eldritch Palmer’s company. She later learns that her work allowed the vampire strain to take hold of New York City, and joins Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, Professor Setrakian, and Vasilly Fet in the fight to save the city. Her clothing is typical of an underground hacker, though she always wears a considerable amount of jewelry and heavy, black eye makeup.

On The Strain, Professor Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) is a Holocaust survivor who hunts the ancient strain of vampires, the strigoi, that occupied New York City. He first encountered the strigoi during WWII, at the hands of the Nazi army. Despite his age, Setrakian is steadfast and quick, thanks to his concoction of strigoi blood that extends his life and health. His most distinctive accessory is his wolf’s head sword cane, once belonging to the vampire master’s human host, which he acquired from a war criminal. The exact cane is difficult to find, though many pewter substitutes provide the same effect.
