Cast of Secret Saturdays

Saturday Family

Zak Saturday - is the 11-year-old son of Doc and Drew Saturday who jumps right away into every adventure. Zak has an unorthodox upbringing that has taken him around the world and placed him in the face of danger since the day he was born. Since Zak was born the same year the Kur Stone was found, he has a special bond with cryptids, which allows him to calm weaker ones. He may hold the power to stop the cryptid Kur, if it is ever unleashed.
 
Solomon “Doc” Saturday - is the patriarch and the “Indiana Jones”-like character who has spent his whole life studying cryptids. He started his career on Honey island when he was 12 learning from Dr. Basil Lancaster. His right eye is blue with a scar over it and he has a broad white streak in the middle of his hair, though he didn’t have these traits before Zak was born. He is a genius, having built many of the gadgets the family uses. A man who takes science very seriously, Doc is one of the world’s leading experts in the field of cryptozoology. A loving father, he often tries to teach his son Zak responsibility. Doc is trained in fourteen different forms of martial arts. He fights with the Battle Glove, which is able to channel power into his right fist. The four crystals on the knuckles also have individual powers: freezing, heating, shocking, and sonic vibrations.
 
Drew Saturday - is the matriarch and the one who “believes in the magic,” being more prone to accepting things on faith rather than empirical evidence. Drew was born to a family of adventurer-scientists and raised by monks after her family was scattered during a severe blizzard in the Himalayas. She is able to speak 37 different languages. Drew is always encouraging Zak to try new things like tribal dancing or sand painting, but when there’s a risk of danger, Drew gets a little over-protective of her only son. She’s a mystic who is well-versed in the world’s cultures and can blend in anywhere her travels may take her. Like Doc, she is a skilled fighter. Her preferred weapon is the Tibetan Fire Sword given to her by the monks, which absorbs light and channels it into potent bursts of flame. In ” Food of the Giants” she showed her skill as a expert at wilderness survival.
 
Fiskerton - is a seven-foot-tall “gorilla-cat” with glowing red eyes. He is one of the last of a legendary race of cryptids called “The Kur Guardians” that was adopted by the Saturday family when his home was burned down by the locals in Nottinghamshire, England. Although he is the oldest and largest member of the family, Fiskerton is like an innocent brother to Zak. He may be a coward at times, but he is proven to be a great and strong ally to have, willing to risk his life for his new family. He mostly talks in grunts and mumbling which occasionally mimic human speech, though the family is able to understand him regardless. He has great strength as well, showing himself capable of ripping apart metal bare-handed and hold his own against larger cryptids. In “Once More the Nightmare Factory”, it is revealed that Fiskerton is a Lemurian (a fact which Fiskerton himself was unaware of), a member of a race of creatures that guard the world against Kur, and is able to locate Kur through some unknown means.
 
Komodo - is a 250-pound, genetically-altered komodo dragon with a voracious appetite. Komodo has a chameleon-like ability to blend in with his surroundings, something that comes in handy for stealth missions. His claws are also sharp enough to slice through metal. Though for the most part quite obedient, Komodo’s actions are often dictated by his stomach, and he will ignore the family for a good meal. Extending from this, Komodo will often pick fights with others to get food, even when his opponent is far larger and stronger (Komodo fights with a Groot Slang over a piece of meat in “Something in the Water”, for example). Like a rivalry between a cat and dog, Komodo often fights with Fiskerton. He seems to have a feud with Zon as well, as he attacks her at least twice. Like Fiskerton, Zak sees him as a brother.
 
Zon - is a surviving member of a thought-to-be-extinct Pterosaur species (Ornithocheirus) that lives in a nest near the Saturday Headquarters, but isn’t truly owned by them. The Saturdays anger her by crashing into her nest during the second episode, but she comes to appreciate them after Zak saves her life. She now uses the cliffs where the Saturdays live as her new hunting grounds. Unafraid of humans, she allows Zak to comb her mane and ride her, but she absolutely resists the family’s domestication efforts and refuses to give up the great outdoors. She is rather hostile towards Komodo. In one episode, she is incorrectly referred to as a Pteranodon. Like Komodo and Fiskerton, Zak sees her as a sister.
 

Doyle Blackwell - Drew’s long-lost younger brother, Doyle first appears as Van Rook’s apprentice in “The Kur Stone”. He helps Zak put a tribe of Amaroks back into hibernation in “The Ice Caverns of Ellef Ringnes”, starting a stable relationship with him. In “Van Rook’s Apprentice”, he changes sides and joins the Saturdays after learning about V.V. Argost’s true motives. Doc fires him two episodes later after his reckless behavior endangers Zak one too many times, paying him for his services as he does. Doyle leaves, but refuses to take the money. Doyle moves back in with the Saturdays at Doc’s request at the end of “Once More the Nightmare Factory”, Doc having hired him him to train Zak. As Doyle twice survived Weird World alone while the Secret Scientists suffered heavy losses in groups, Doc recognizes that he can teach Zak skills they lack. In the “Kur Gurdian”, he begins dating Abbey Grey, only to learn in “Food of the Giants” that she is Van Rook’s new apprentice. Though Doyle is admired by Zak, he and Drew have a small sibling rivalry, and Doc is annoyed by Doyle’s tendency to show off. Doyle is something of a jack of all trades, fighting using a combination of grenades, lasers, and hand-to-hand combat. He is strong enough to lift a grown man one-handed, and is able to wrestle with cryptids much larger than himself.

Villians

V. V. Argost - The series’ main villain, main archenemy of the Saturdays, and host of the popular show V.V. Argost’s Weirdworld. According to creator Jay Stevens, his full name is Vincent Vladislav Argost, after actor Vincent Price. His show has made him “the modern master of the bizarre” of the world. His museum of cryptid relics and trinkets is really an arsenal of magical objects he plans to use to get his hands on the most powerful cryptid of all, Kur, which he believes is a source of unlimited power and everlasting life for whoever can find and capture it. Argost peppers his speech with French words and phrases, and his most common greeting to others is “Greetings and bien venue [welcome].” He uses a number of cryptids as weapons, and wears a Megatooth shark skin cape that shields him from any attack. In one episode, his strength is shown to rival that of Fiskerton and is very good in hand to hand combat as well.

Munya - is Argost’s assistant who was injected with the DNA of a Papuan Giant Spider to transform into a half-human, half-cryptid monster. While in his monstrous form, Munya can spit strands of sticky webbing from his mouth to cocoon enemies, stick them to walls.
