Sarah is one of only two clones that escaped Neolution's watchful gaze. Her birth mother, Amelia, escaped before giving birth to her twins. She gave one to the church and one to the state, and Sarah was the twin who went to the state. She ended up in the care of Siobhan Sadler, who moved Sarah and her foster brother, Felix, to America in order to k...
Police detective Beth Childs was part of the original "Clone Club" alongside Alison Hendrix and Cosima Niehaus, and was using her skills to help piece together the mystery of the clones and the illness that was afflicting some of them. Beth's investigation led her to cross paths with the Proletheans, a group of religious extremists who consider the...
Commonly referred to as "The German," poor Katja Obinger's appearance in Orphan Blackwas short-lived. The newest addition to Clone Club, Katja flew all the way to Canada with documents and samples from clones in Europe. She was suffering from the respiratory illness that afflicted many of the Leda clones, and hoped that with her sisters' help she c...
Among the files that Katja brings with her are the IDs of several clones around Europe who had already been assassinated by Helena. Aryanna Giordano was a Leda clone raised in Italy, and little else is known about her.
Another of the IDs that Katja brings with her is that of Janika Angler, a clone who was born in Salzburg, Austria. Like Aryanna, Janika is dead before Orphan Blackbegins, having been assassinated by Helena.
The final European clone assassinated by Helena is Danielle Fournier, who lived in Paris, France. Like the previous two, Danielle only appears in an ID photo and not much is known about her - except that it must have taken some work to get that lovely head of curly hair, given that the clones have naturally straight hair.
Alison Hendrix is the third fellow clone that Sarah meets in the flesh, and she's quickly disillusioned of any belief that soccer moms aren't scary. Alison is married to her monitor, Donnie, and they have two children that they adopted. Alison is part of the original Clone Club - and since she didn't have police access like Beth or science expertis...
Hippie scientist Cosima leads the charge on trying to find a cure for the clones' mysterious illness, which becomes all the more urgent when she herself starts coughing up blood. Studying for her Ph.D. in Experimental Evolutionary Developmental Biology (or "Evo-Devo," as she prefers to call it), Cosima acts as a mediating force between the hot-head...
In Orphan Black season 1, Sarah learns from her birth mother that the psycho clone stalking and assassinating the others is actually her twin, Helena. Amelia gave Helena to the church and she ended up in the hands of the Proletheans, who weaponized her against her ownsestras. At the start of the series Helena has been brainwashed into thinking that...
Most of the Leda clones were kept oblivious to their true nature (unlike their Castor brothers, who were raised in the military and are self-aware). Rachel Duncan is the exception: a child raised by Neolution. She takes her last name from the scientists Ethan and Susan Duncan, who developed the LEDA and CASTOR cloning projects and brought her up as...
