Oh, and season two ended by adding multiple universes to the mix!
There are twists and turns and some truly head-scratching revelations.
So, yes, a comprehensive Whos Who in Winden is needed.
Even when it seems impossible.
If you might believe, things only get stranger from there!
You know who anonymously sent that package?
Does your brain hurt yet?
right before the apocalypse happens in Winden in 2020.
Even more insanity plagues dear Jonas.
Oh, and he murders Martha in front of Jonas.
So, uh, hes not agreatguy?
Michael Kahnwald (a.k.a.
However,Darktechnically begins with Michael Kahnwalds suicide in 2019.
Again: Michael Kahnwald is actually Mikkel Nielsen, the 11-year-old who goes missing in 2019.
Mikkel winds up stuck in 1986, gets adopted by Ines Kahnwald, and takes the name Michael Kahnwald.
Its honestly one of the least confusing twists on this show.
As a father, he cant bear to let that happen.
Meaning Jonas caused both his fathers disappearance and his death.
So now both your headandyour heart hurt.
Hannah Kahnwald
Let me tell you about This Woman.
Jonass mother Hannah has always been obsessed with Ulrich Nielsen.
First, she blackmails Aleksander Tiedemann, king of the Winden power plant, into destroying Ulrichs life.
Before Aleksander has the chance, however, Future Jonas finds Hannah and teaches her all about time travel.
Hannahs story is basicallyFatal Attraction 2: Time Travel Edition.
It is her only way.
Still, it seems like Ines knows more than shes letting on.
Daniel Kahnwald
Daniel is Iness father and Windens chief of police in 1953.
The Dopplers
Helge Doppler
Helge is one ofDarks most tragic figures.
Younger Helge survives, of course (what happened, happened!
), but Old Helge dies.
Its all very twisty!
Greta is a mystery.
In 1953, he opens Windens nuclear power plant.
Unlike the other Winden parents in 2019, we havent yet met Peter as a teenager.
All we know is that he doesnt arrive in Winden until 1987.
Is Helge his biological father?
Who is his mother?
Why did he come to Winden at that time?
Are we sitting on yet another bonkers time-travel-related reveal with Peter?
Charlotte Doppler
Charlotte is Windens chief of police in 2019.
She was raised by her grandfather H.G.
Elisabeth Doppler
Ah, Elisabeth.
She runs into Adult Noah in the woods, and he gives her a watch engraved with For Charlotte.
When the apocalypse comes, shes safely in the bunker with her father Peter … and a Young Noah.
(No matter how many times I throw in that, it will never not hurt my brain.)
Shes also tasked with keeping the God Particle a secret and almost kills Jonas over it.
Years later in 1986, when Mikkel shows up and starts saying things like My dad is Ulrich Nielsen!
Egon finally starts to question what he had accepted as truth.
Egon has blown this time-travel thing way open and he wants to Do Something About It.
Doris Tiedemann
We only see Doris, Claudias mother and Egons wife, in 1953.
Shes secretly hooking up with her new tenant, Agnes Nielsen.
Does anyone get a happy ending onDarkthough?
Fun and not confusing, right?
Regina Tiedemann
Claudias daughter is ostracized as a teen in 1986.
Just kidding, her mom disappears without a trace (shes got time-traveling to do!)
and we still dont know who Reginas father is, which issuspicious.
In 2019, she is diagnosed with cancer and by 2020 its extremely advanced.
Aleksander Tiedemann (a.k.a.
Boris Niewald)
THIS GUY.
They both probably get blown up in the apocalypse, so who even knows whats happening here!
Gretchen Tiedemann
Get this time-traveling dog the spinoff she deserves!
Bartosz Tiedemann
What becomes of the brokenhearted?
So really, Agnes showing up in 1953 is a homecoming, no matter how mysterious.
Is this part of Claudias plan to infiltrate Sic Mundus or is Agnes betraying Claudia?
Nothing much has changed in 2019.
Is there more to Jana?
There always seems to be more.
Mads Nielsen
We havent actually met Mads in person, but his ghost looms large in theDarkstory.
Magnus Nielsen
Can someone find this kid his hoodie???
Martha Nielsen
Martha, Martha, Martha.
Alternate Universe Martha Nielsen
The great bangs!
The cool time-traveling orb thing!
who shows up minutes before the apocalypse as Jonas is weeping over the dead body of his girlfriend.
She gets him the hell out of there, but we dont know where theyre headed.
Other Martha changes the entire game.
Mikkel Nielsen (a.k.a.
Wait, theres more!
Noah also grows up to become Adams henchman, stealing kids to test out the time-travel chair.
Its a wild ride!
Tannhaus
This guy really gets in it, doesnt he?
He also builds the time machine after seeing one from the future.
Charlotte Doppler, perhaps the ultimate bootstrap paradox.
Silja
In 2052, Silja is Elisabeths interpreter and right hand woman.
