Detective Carter is a very good officer of the law who first stumbles upon John and his associates while investigating a crime. She then pursues an entity everyone called 'the man in a suit'. Later on in the show, she joins forces with Finch and John in saving people's lives.

She has a son named Taylor in the show. Carter was a former military officer who specialized in interrogation tactics.

Answer: Bear

Bear is a Belgian Malinois played by Graubaer's Boker. He is a dog that has had military training on the show and is rescued by Finch and associates from Aryan Nationalists. All the characters in the show become attached to him over time and Bear was also actively involved in the show's proceedings. He responds only to commands in the Dutch language.

Answer: Irrelevant

The numbers that the government labels relevant are those that relate to national security, i.e., mostly terrorists. Other numbers involving small crimes and acts of violence are considered irrelevant by the government. After noticing this blatant act of discrimination, Finch creates a backdoor to collect all the irrelevant numbers and attempts to save their lives. But Finch and associates do not know if the number that comes up will be the number of a victim or that of a perpetrator.

In the second season, alongside Mr. Reese and Bear, Finch also recruits Agent Sameen Shaw who previously worked with the government in eliminating the relevant numbers. She is then shown to have been double crossed by the government and then goes on the run when Finch catches up with her.

Answer: Root

Samantha Groves is a hacker who has a unique obsession with the Machine and believes that it has a bigger plan and wants her to be its vessel. She believes it speaks to her. She holds the Machine in very high regard and often addresses it by using the pronoun 'her'.
