List of Sanctuary characters

Throughout the series, Bigfoot uses the [[caveman]]-like "ack, ack" expression. According to [[Damian Kindler]], Heyerdahl invented it for his character. The expression has made an effect on the crew, who also sometimes uses the impression while on break as communicating each other.<ref>{{cite AV media |title=Audio commentary for "Fragments" |people=[[Damian Kindler]] |medium=Sanctuary: The Complete Second Season (DVD), Disc 2 |date=2010 |publisher=[[E1 Entertainment]]}}</ref>

'''Montague John Druitt''',<ref name=web3>{{cite episode |title=Webisode III |series=[[Sanctuary (Canadian TV series)|Sanctuary]] |credits=[[Martin Wood (director)|Martin Wood]] (director), [[Damian Kindler]] (writer)}}</ref> played by [[Christopher Heyerdahl]] (Webisodes, recurring) is the primary antagonist of the opening webisodes and TV pilot. He is a member of "The Five" during the Victorian era and Helen's former lover.<ref name=kush>{{cite episode |title=[[Kush (Sanctuary)|Kush]] |series=[[Sanctuary (Canadian TV series)|Sanctuary]] |credits=[[Martin Wood (director)|Martin Wood]] (director), [[Damian Kindler]] (writer) |season=1 |number=5}}</ref> As a member of "The Five", he has the ability to teleport at will.<ref name=web4/> However, in one instance, he was taken hostage by an energy creature, which drives him into [[homicide|homicidal]] behaviour, and becomes [[Jack the Ripper]], murdering eight prostitutes.<ref name=sancforall/><ref name=haunted>{{cite episode |title=[[Haunted (Sanctuary)|Haunted]] |series=[[Sanctuary (Canadian TV series)|Sanctuary]] |credits=[[Martin Wood (director)|Martin Wood]] (director), [[Damian Kindler]] & James Thorpe (writers) |season=2 |number=11}}</ref> He reappears in "[[Sanctuary for All]]", where he allows himself to be captured by his daughter, Ashley and brought to the Sanctuary to confront Helen, since he is dying. He sabotages the Sanctuary's defenses and uses his power to put Ashley's life in danger to force Helen to give him her blood, which he says she gave him to save his life once before. She acquiesces, but gives him a poisoned sample; his body becomes unstable and he teleports out.<ref name=sancforall/> In "The Five", he is revealed to have been revived by fellow "Five" member, [[#Nikola Tesla|Nikola Tesla]]. When Druitt refuses to join his cause, Tesla tortures him, but that apparently either weakens or otherwise disables the energy creature, and abates his violent tendencies. He escapes and captures Ashley, in order for her to help him save Magnus from Tesla, who he believes is set to kill her. He convinces Ashley, and they rescue Magnus from Tesla and the Cabal in Rome.<ref name=thefive/>

He returns again in "Revelations" to aid the Sanctuary team in stopping the Cabal from bringing about a war between humans and Abnormals with the biological weapon "Lazarus". Aided with other members of the "Five", the group successfully retrieves the vial of pure vampire blood needed to find a cure for the weapon. However, in the end, the vial is stolen by Ashley, who defects to the Cabal, by whom she was brainwashed previously.<ref name=revelations/> After his daughter is apparently killed, he teams up with Tesla and manages to take down several Cabal cells.<ref name=eulogy/> After returning to the Sanctuary, he reverts to a psychotic murderer, due to the energy creature reasserting itself. The energy creature is released, and locks down the building to kill everyone inside. Druitt saves everybody by teleporting to the same area as the creature, allowing it to take him host again, and then teleporting away.<ref name=haunted/> In season 3, Helen tracked him down in the Philippines, as she needed his help to get to her father's mystery city. He was still unstable, but slightly less murderous than before, and so proved immensely helpful in the quest. As part of a larger plot, Adam Worth deceived him, and Druitt was violently tortured. Their next encounter was quite bloody. However, Worth managed to convince Druitt to let him live in exchange for a chance to travel back in time and prevent himself from gaining his powers and madness. Worth broke his word and so Druitt teamed up with Magnus in an attempt to stop him. This required Druitt to absorb large amounts of energy, strengthening his violent parasite and having an unknown effect on his sanity.

When Christopher Heyerdahl was offered a role in the web series, he read several characters and got interested in Druitt, immediately admiring the character. He was surprised yet elated that he got the part of Druitt.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gateworld.net/interviews/ace_of_wraith3.shtml |title=GateWorld – Interviews: Ace of Wraith (Christopher Heyerdahl – January 2008) |first=Heyerdahl |last=Christopher |accessdate=June 17, 2009 |publisher=GateWorld |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090414044321/http://www.gateworld.net/interviews/ace_of_wraith3.shtml |archive-date=April 14, 2009 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Jason Hughes of ''TV Squad'' said that Heyerdahl has done a good job at playing sinister, and that the actor fits the stereotype for tall, pale and bald antagonists.<ref name=tvsquad>{{cite news |url=http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/10/04/sanctuary-sanctuary-for-all-season-premiere/ |title=Sanctuary: Sanctuary for All (series premiere) |first=Jason |last=Hughes |date=October 4, 2008 |accessdate=June 14, 2009 |publisher=TV Squad}}</ref> For his role as Druitt in "Revelations (Part 2)", Christopher Heyerdahl was nominated for a Leo Award for "Best Supporting Performance by a Male in a Dramatic Series".<ref name=leo09>{{cite web |url=http://www.leoawards.com/nominees_2009.html |title=LEO AWARDS, 2009 Nominees |accessdate=June 17, 2009 |publisher=leoawards.com |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110201214126/http://www.leoawards.com/nominees_2009.html |archivedate=February 1, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
