Sanctuary Series overview of
Sanctuary’’ follows the exploits of Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) and her quest to protect various cryptids, legends, and normal animals/people with certain extraordinary powers and abilities – what most people would consider monsters. “The Sanctuary” serves as a safe haven for these “Abnormals”. She is initially aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne); her intrepid, if somewhat reckless, daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup); the talkative lycanthrope geek Henry Foss (Ryan Robbins), a computer and security expert; and her taciturn, Neanderthal-like assistant (unnamed, known as Bigfoot in the show’s lineup), sometimes called “Big Guy” (Christopher Heyerdahl).
The first season reveals the history of Dr. Magnus, showing that in her youth she was trained by her father, a gifted Victorian-era scientist, to study the world and protect the unusal. Helen was a member of a group of experimental scientists known as “The Five”, which included also Nikola Tesla, Nigel Griffin, Dr. James Watson, and Magnus’s lover John Druitt, who wanted to push the boundaries of their understanding of the physical world through unconventional means. At some point during their partnership, Magnus acquired a vial of untainted vampire blood and used it in a serum that “The Five” injected into themselves. After the injection, they each developed Abnormal traits: Magnus experienced drastically slowed aging, and longevity with no clear limit; Nigel Griffin acquired the power to become invisible at will; Dr. James Watson’s intellect was tremendously heightened; Nikola Tesla underwent transformation into a vampire, with the additional power of electrical manipulation; John Druitt developed longevity and the ability to teleport through time and space, but, already unstable, he was driven to give in to his dark impulses and became Jack the Ripper.
The second half of season one introduces “The Cabal”, a powerful shadow organization that captures, studies, and experiments on Abnormals, in the belief that the Abnormal population is a threat to the human species. During the first season finale, “Revelations”, they test a small amount of a biological weapon named Lazarus that causes all types of Abnormals to become extremely violent, attacking anyone nearby and then dying painfully. This is part of The Cabal’s overall plan to incite humanity against the Abnormals so that they can wipe out the entire Abnormal population and gain greater influence over humanity. They brainwash Ashley, and in season two, convert her into a vampiric supersoldier, using her as a template for a small army which attacks the Sanctuary network. Against all odds, Magnus and her teams stop them at the Old City Sanctuary, and Ashley, in a moment of clarity, apparently sacrifices herself. Her father, Druitt, hunts down and kills the heads of the Cabal, which seems to disband.
As season two progresses, Magnus grapples with denial, then grief, and finally accepts the loss of Ashley. Meanwhile, the team adjusts to newcomer Kate Freelander (Agam Darshi), a former freelance Cabal operative. They also deal with their relationships (Magnus’s in particular) to the remaining members of the Five, and increased international coordination in the wake of the Cabal’s attacks on the Global Sanctuary Net work that Magnus had established. It emerges that an enormous marine Abnormal, Big Bertha, had been preserved rather than euthanized by Magnus, and that Bertha is, somehow, a sapient being named Kali existing on a psychic or spirit plane, intricately tied to nature Abnormals around the world. At the end of the second season and beginning of the third, a man named Forsythe tries to take control of Bertha, and NY Sanctuary House Head Terrence Wexford goes rogue trying to destroy her – he even attempts to depose and kill Helen. Ultimately, Bertha/Kali is saved and Wexford is ousted, but more questions are raised than answered...
While in spiritual plane Will sees avatars of two other avatars in addition to Kali, and meets Helen's father who passes on a message to his daughter. It is speculated that those are avatars of abnormals as powerful as Kali, one of which must have been the source of earthquake that stopped the wave started by Kali.
