Catherine "Cat" Chandler (Kristin Kreuk) is a homicide detective with the NYPD's Special Crimes Unit assigned to the 125th Precinct. Nine years before the pilot, she was nearly killed by the men who murdered her mother, but saved by a mysterious beast. In the pilot, she finds out the "beast" is actually Vincent, and keeps his secret to protect him from Muirfield, the organization who created him. While helping to protect him, she and Vincent fall in love. Catherine fights for Vincent after he is kidnapped by Muirfield and brainwashed into forgetting her, helping him to regain his memories and remember their love. Catherine breaks up with Vincent when, as a result of his brainwashing, he chooses revenge, rather than saving their love. She dates Gabe after they break up. When Vincent tries to win her back, Catherine pushes him away and stays with Gabe. Vincent, though, is able to prove to her that he has changed, and Catherine breaks up with Gabe, reuniting with Vincent. Soon after, they get engaged, and marry in the season 3 finale. Catherine has discovered that through her birth father, she is related to Rebecca Reynolds, who was also in love with a beast back in the 1800s.

Vincent Ryan Keller (Jay Ryan) is a former medical doctor who enlisted in the United States Army after 9/11, and was part of an experiment called Operation Muirfield that turned them into super soldiers. Vincent's DNA was mutated and he developed the ability to transform into a beastly creature; he turns into the creature whenever he is distressed. When the Army shut down Muirfield because the experiment was out of control, Vincent survived and faked his own death, hiding out in New York. In Season 1, he starts to come out of hiding when he falls in love with Catherine, the woman he saved nine years before and who he has been watching over ever since, and the two work together to protect him from Muirfield. When he's kidnapped in Season 2, his memory is erased, and he doesn't remember Catherine. He is "programmed" into an assassin, killing any beasts and people associated with Muirfield. He is able to regain his memories spending time with Catherine, but is more angry and powerful. When Catherine tries to stop him from resorting to violence, Vincent feels betrayed, and they break up. After their break up, he revealed his identity and came out of hiding. He dates Tori Windsor, another beast, before she dies. After Tori's death, Vincent realizes the extent of the damage of his actions, and decides to change, choosing his humanity over being a beast in order to win Catherine back. Though Catherine rejects him, Vincent doesn't give up on her, and he & Catherine eventually reunite. He proposes to Catherine soon after, and they get engaged; they eventually marry in the season 3 finale.

Though he tried to help Vincent find a cure, they stopped trying after several failed attempts. Initially resistant to Catherine being part of Vincent's life, J.T. started to accept her when she helped protect Vincent from Muirfield.
