Outcast overview

Perspective
In the series, the term Outcast refers to anyone who has supernatural or paranormal abilities. It is because of their differences that Outcasts refer to regular humans as "Normies" and are often at odds with each other. Nevermore Academy is a school attended almost exclusively by several different species of Outcasts. They are sorted into the different categories listed below:
- Avians – Outcasts that can control birds.
- Cyclopes – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
- DaVincis – Outcasts with telekinetic abilities.
- Faceless – Outcasts who have no eyes, noses, or mouths. Despite having no mouth, they can still eat food.
- Gorgons – Outcasts with snakes instead of hair that cause anyone who looks at them to turn to stone.
- Hydes – Mutated Outcasts who are banned from attending Nevermore Academy. It takes a traumatic event to unleash a person's Hyde form.
- Minotaurs – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Hyde and Woe Seek" where Principal Barry Dort confirmed during the Outcast Day of Remembrance that they are extinct.
- Psychics – Outcasts who can experience psychic visions. Some psychics are also experts at witchcraft. Two types of psychics exist: Doves have a kinder personality and see positive outcomes from their visions while Ravens have a more cynical personality and have a negative outlook regarding their visions.
- Pyros – Outcasts who possess pyrokinesis (the ability to generate and control fire).
- Shapeshifters – Outcasts who can assume the form of anyone they encounter.
- Sirens – Outcasts whose siren songs can be used to brainwash and control anyone. Their songs will not work on anyone wielding an item made of Corinthian Coral. In addition, they can also turn their legs into a fish tail when submerged underwater.
- Sparks – Outcasts who possess electrokinesis (the ability to generate, store, and control electricity).
- Swarmers – Outcasts that can control arthropods.
- Vampires – Outcasts with extended lifespans that must wear sunglasses when in the sunlight. Though they can drink blood, the vampires can eat other food as well.
- Vanishers – Outcasts who possess the ability to turn themselves invisible.
- Werewolves – Outcasts that assume bipedal wolf-like forms during a full moon and can retract their claws during the day.
- Yetis – Outcasts that were first mentioned in the episode "Woe What a Night", that had gone extinct in the 1950s. The "Abominable Snowman" name was considered offensive to them.

Wednesday Addams (portrayed by Jenna Ortega as a teenager, Karina Varadi as a young girl[2]) is the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams. Wednesday is a Raven; a psychic who can see gloomy visions of past, present and future. She is new to Nevermore Academy after she was expelled from her old school for trying to kill her brother's bullies by dropping piranhas in the school pool. She is introduced to her new school and her roommate, Enid Sinclair. In "Chapter I: Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe", she is almost killed by Rowan Laslow and soon after witnesses him being murdered. She wins the Poe Cup race with Enid and finds the Nightshade Library in "Chapter II: Woe Is the Loneliest Number". It is revealed that Joseph Crackstone tried to burn her ancestor Goody Addams alive in a vision she had in "Chapter III: Friend or Woe". Thing pretends to be Wednesday and asks Tyler to the school dance in "Chapter IV: Woe What a Night". After her father is arrested for murder in "Chapter V: You Reap What You Woe", Wednesday and Morticia work together to find that Garrett was not killed by Gomez, but by the nightshade poison he had in his pocket. She notices that Laurel Gates is still alive and witnesses Noble Walker being run over by a car in "Chapter VI: Quid Pro Woe". She attends Mayor Walker's funeral and runs into her uncle Fester afterwards. She discovers that the monster she was looking for is called a hyde from Nathaniel Faulkner's journal. Nathaniel's journal is later stolen, and Thing is stabbed while she goes on a date with Tyler in "Chapter VII: If You Don't Woe Me By Now". She deduces that the master is Marilyn Thornhill and confronts her with Larissa. After Larissa is killed, Wednesday is knocked out and taken to Joseph Crackstone's crypt so that Marilyn can use her blood to break the lock which was placed on him by Goody Addams. After escaping from the crypt, she goes to Nevermore and kills Joseph Crackstone in "Chapter VIII: A Murder of Woes".
In season two, Wednesday has been using her gift to track down elusive serial killers. Her misuse of her gift causes it to go on the fritz and strain her relationship with Morticia.

However, Marilyn sees the ruse and kills Weems.
By season two, Weems was succeeded by Barry Dort. Larissa Weems later returns, briefly, as Wednesday's spirit guide.

Dort pitched his idea for a Outcast cult called the Morning Song (after the location of Tiki Tails in Florida) while Arnold gets to be his puppet ruler.
Upon being sworn in as the new headmaster fifteen years later, Dort is seeking some donations to the Academy and promotes the co-existence of normies and outcasts. When it came to Morticia, Dort blackmailed Bianca into getting her to bring Grandmama Hester Frump to Nevermore Academy to provide a donation in exchange for not terminating Bianca's scholarship. He also took a precaution to protect himself from siren abilities with an artifact that was made from Corinthian Coral. When it came to the Outcast Day of Remembrance which honors the extinct Outcast species such as Cyclopes, Minotaurs, and Yetis, Dort told Wednesday that he doesn't have plans to honor Weems much to the dismay of Weems' spirit guide form.

Using a lab built by Augustus Stonehearst, Isaac used Gomez as a battery for an experiment that involved removing Françoise's Hyde form. Morticia saved Gomez by slicing off his right hand which later became Thing. When he died, he was buried in an unmarked grave near a skull tree. Years later, Pugsley heard about the legend and accidentally brought the boy back to life as a zombie that Pugsley named "Slurp". Despite Pugsley and Eugene working to keep him under control, "Slurp" broke free on occasions and ate the brains of anyone which causes him to regenerate his body. Following an incident during a camping trip, "Slurp" was remanded to Willow Hill. He briefly had Fester Addams as a cellmate. Amidst the mass breakout, "Slurp" killed Dr. Rachael Fairburn and Stonehearst, and ate their brains. Judi Spannagel later mentioned in a press conference that he alongside Fester Addams and Tyler Galpin are still at large. During the Day of the Dead festival at Pilgrim World, "Slurp" killed a patron in the "Haunted Hacienda" where he regained his power of speech and acknowledged Pugsley as a friend. While Pugsley provides a diversion for the Sheriff's Department, "Slurp" comes out the other way as Gomez recognizes him as Isaac Night. Gomez would later tell Morticia that "Slurp" is Isaac. At the same time, Isaac visits Judi. After killing Judi and reuniting with Françoise, he did various experiments to keep her alive like trying to purge the Hyde from her at Willow Hill which got disrupted by Wednesday, Enid, and Agnes to giving Françoise a blood transfusion. Following Dort getting turned to stone by Ajax Petropolus and getting shattered by a falling chandelier, Isaac confronted Wednesday in the graveyard and chloroformed her.

After witnessing Enid turn into a werewolf when it wasn't a full moon, Capri told Enid that this is the trait of an Alpha Werewolf as she tells her about it, the chance that the Alpha Werewolf won't become human again, and that it will be hunted by other werewolves. Capri makes sure that Enid keeps herself locked up in the Lupin cages for her own safety. Following Nevermore closing early and the deaths of Françoise Galpin and Isaac Night, Capri approached Tyler at his parents' grave and offered him to join a group of Hydes. Though Tyler smelled that Capri is a werewolf, she told him that her father is a Hyde implying that she's actually a hybrid of both species.

Agnes revealed her abilities after Wednesday saved Enid and Bruno from a knife-related trap and was also the one who placed Wednesday's manuscript in the wood of the bonfire. Since then, Agnes has used her abilities to pop up in Wednesday's appearance. The one time it didn't work was when certain conditions gave her position away to Uncle Fester. In the second half of the season after realizing she will never replace Enid as Wednesday's best friend, Agnes joins Enid in her dance and uses her invisibility to snatch Barry Dort's Corinthian Coral pendant so that Bianca can brainwash him into admitting his crimes. Agnes drops her obsessive nature towards Wednesday and becomes a genuine friend to both her and Enid, helping save Wednesday's life in the finale after she was buried alive after slipping away from her father.

It was claimed that Gomez was the one who killed Garrett, although it was revealed that while attempting to poison the entirety of Nevermore, Garrett got into a fight with Gomez, and the vial of Nightshade he had in his pocket shattered, poisoning him. This caused him to go crazy as the poison took effect, and as he was about to kill Gomez, Morticia impaled him with a sword, and he fell off the roof into the courtyard, directly in front of Larissa Weems.
Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester Addams (portrayed by Fred Armisen) is Wednesday and Pugsley's uncle, and Gomez's brother who is a Spark. While not a student at Nevermore Academy, Fester did sneak in to see Gomez on occasion. Following Mayor Noble Walker's funeral, Wednesday runs into Uncle Fester who is in town after committing a bank robbery. He was the one who told Wednesday about Hydes.
In season two, a flashback revealed that Uncle Fester had Wednesday as a getaway driver for a bank heist. In the present, Wednesday enlisted Uncle Fester to do something to get into Willow Hill, where he was briefly incarcerated at one point. After causing a disturbance at the Apple Hollow Inn, Uncle Fester is arrested by the sheriff's department, where they find his various identities, including the one he used to rob a bank. He was committed to Willow Hill, where he enlisted the lunch lady, Louise, as a contact. Uncle Fester was directed to where Lois is by Augustus Stonehearst. He gets ambushed by the guards when Laurel Gates informs Dr. Rachael Fairburn about him, and he gets locked in the same cell as "Slurp" a.k.a Isaac Night. Wednesday later frees him, and they find that LOIS is short for Long-term Outcast Integration Study (LOIS), where experiments done by Judi Spannagel gave outcast powers to normies. Uncle Fester used his powers to cause a blackout, releasing all the Willow Hill inmates. He was able to flee during the chaos after saying goodbye to Louise. Judi Spannagel would later mention at a press conference that Fester is still at large. Following the deaths of Isaac Night and Françoise Galpin, Fester accompanies Wednesday and Thing in looking for Enid.
Chet LaTroy
Chet LaTroy (portrayed by Haley Joel Osment) is a down-on-his-luck beauty school dropout who operated as a serial killer called the Kansas City Scalper in Kansas City, Missouri for 12 years. Wednesday allowed herself to be taken captive by Chet, which enabled her to sneak Thing into his house. When Thing emerged from his hiding place, he beat up Chet. Wednesday chopped off Chet's hair and left an anonymous tip for the police. Morticia would later find out about Wednesday's encounter with Chet.
Professor Orloff
Professor Orloff (portrayed by Christopher Lloyd) is a biology teacher at Nevermore Academy whose severed head is kept alive in a jar. His life support system was constructed by Isaac Night at the time when Augustus Stonehearst was a teacher at Nevermore. In addition, Professor Orloff runs a support group for sentient body parts which Agnes DeMille sat in on. Afterwards, Orloff was confronted by the revived Isaac who took out the power source of his life support system and ate his brain which was secretly watched by Agnes. Because of Professor Orloff's death, Sheriff Ritchie Santiago intimidated Barry Dort into letting the sheriff's department provide security for the upcoming Nevermore Gala.
Dr. Rachael Fairburn
Dr. Rachael Fairburn (portrayed by Thandiwe Newton) is the chief psychiatrist at Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital. She allows Wednesday to visit Tyler Galpin in his specially secured cell. Later on, she had Laurel Gates transferred to Willow Hill to work on Tyler. It would later be revealed that Judi Spannegel is the true chief psychiatrist of Willow Hill, with Fairburn being a puppet ruler. When Uncle Fester caused a power outage and released all the inmates from their cells during his and Wednesday's confrontation with Spannegel, Dr. Fairburn grabs Augustus Stonehearst's wheelchair as they take refuge in her office. Both of them are killed by "Slurp" a.k.a Isaac Night when he gets in.
Ron Kruger
Ron Kruger (portrayed by Anthony Michael Hall) is the scoutmaster of the Phoenix Cadets. Because Nevermore was planning to use the camp ground that they were going to use, Kruger had to go up against Barry Dort in a game of capture the flag to determine who would win the campsite. Nevermore won the game thanks to a tactic by Wednesday. The Phoenix Scouts tried to raid the camp which resulted in "Slurp" getting out and Kruger getting killed by him.
Rosaline Rotwood
Rosaline Rotwood (portrayed by Lady Gaga) is a psychic teacher at Nevermore during the 1960s. Her spirit was channeled by Wednesday at her graveyard at Grandmama Frump's advice in order for her to grant Wednesday temporary sight to find the Galpins. Rotwood's ghost states that there is a price for that. When Enid grabbed Wednesday, they both swapped bodies. Wednesday in Enid's body later made contact with Rotwood who advised her to learn more about Enid before sunrise or else they'll both be dead.
Arnold Hunt
Arnold Hunt (portrayed by Casper Van Dien) is a soap opera actor who was later removed from the show and became a bartender at the Tiki Tails, a siren tiki bar in Morning Song, Florida that is frequented by Outcasts and where Gabrielle was one of the siren performers that worked there. He would later be visited by Barry Dort, whom Arnold talked to about his history. Dort came up with the idea of forming the Morning Song, named after the location, consisting of Outcasts. At some point, Arnold took up the alias of Gideon Sterling (after his soap opera character), ran the Morning Song as Dort's puppet ruler, and became Gabrielle's husband and Bianca's stepfather.
By the events of season two, Bianca used her siren abilities to brainwash the FBI into raiding Sterling's compound causing him to go on the run as Bianca tries to hide Gabrielle in places like Apple Hollow Inn (where Gabrielle was discovered by the sheriff's department during their arrest of Uncle Fester) and an abandoned classroom (where Bianca and Gabrielle found by Dort). When Arnold comes to Nevermore, Dort reunites Arnold with his stepdaughter and mentions to him that Gabrielle is in his apartment. Upon Arnold demanding a higher pay, Dort incinerated Arnold in front of Bianca and threw his skeleton into the fireplace. The death of Arnold was among the things that Bianca brainwashed Dort into confessing to.
