are you real?

"Are you lot real?" is a refrain that has haunted the first ii seasons of Westworld, a show that's had an awful lot of fun playing with our expectations, creating twisty narratives that reveal massive time jumps and, more importantly, characters who may or may not be equally homo equally they announced. And season three appears probable to continue that trend, for this futurity society is on the brink of war between synthetic beings and regular humans, even though many humans don't know the war is coming.

By the end of the series — heck, past the end of this season — the question of "Who is a robot on Westworld?" could be considered as relevant as "If a movie premieres on Netflix, is information technology withal technically a motion-picture show?" Only right at present, the battle lines are being drawn. So equally we move through season three, nosotros're keeping a running breakdown of Westworld'due south most important living robots, dead humans, and a few folk who could go either manner at this point.

Annotation: Some of these characters may not return for season three, as their bodies have been destroyed and their minds transported to the Valley Across, otherwise known equally Robot Heaven.

Dolores Abernathy:The oldest host in the park, in fact. Later on leading the rebellion, she is now costless in the real world.

Maeve Millay: The former madam, who got a significant upgrade to her abilities by the stop of flavour 1, sacrificed herself to allow her girl to escape to Robot Sky but did not go herself. Maeve is now in the real world, having been resurrected by Engerraund Serac equally a countermeasure in Dolores's war

Bernard Lowe: While Bernard resembles Arnold Weber, one of the park's original founders, Bernard is in fact a robot built by Robot Ford.

Ashley Stubbs: This is the biggest question mark from the season 2 finale, as the head of Westworld security definitely knew that Dolores was hiding within the replica of Charlotte Hale's body and let her escape to the mainland anyway. Stubbs is at present a confirmed host, currently programmed to aid and protect Bernard "at all costs."

Teddy Alluvion: Some other robot and Dolores' sometime love, now in Robot Heaven.

Hector Escaton: A bandit and Maeve'due south lover. Killed in the park just did not make information technology to Robot Heaven and is thus potentially revivable.

Armistice: Hector's loyal second banana. Killed in the park but also potentially revivable.

Clementine Pennyfeather: Killed in the park but besides potentially revivable.

Akecheta: The first host to reach truthful sentience, now in Robot Heaven.

Francis:A therapy AI programmed to audio similar Caleb'southward former Army buddy, only heard as a voice that calls Caleb regularly.

Connells:We first meet the human version of Connells, a fixer working for the company Incite, but so Dolores has him replaced with a indistinguishable.

Note: While the beneath characters are technically deceased, they or the actors playing them could be (and in some cases have been!) brought back in some fashion, if just for reasons like "that Ben Barnes is a skillful-looking guy."

Theresa Cullen: Killed past Bernard (who was under Ford'due south control) in season one, the former operations managing director shows no signs of returning.

Lee Sizemore: The former head writer of Westworld, now deceased afterward sacrificing himself in a blaze of glory.

Elsie Hughes: A now-deceased engineer, killed by Charlotte Hale.

Robert Ford: The original co-creator of Westworld, shot in the head by Dolores.

Logan Delos: The man who originally introduced William to Westworld, deceased long ago from a drug overdose. The Forge (a.k.a. the data core of the park) used his likeness to speak with Bernard and Dolores at one point.

Charlotte Hale: The Delos board member determined to exploit the data beingness collected inside the park, and somewhen killed for it. Dolores used a replicated version of her torso to escape to the mainland.

James Delos: Dead from an unspecified illness, Delos was the offset human that the company attempted to resurrect. It was not successful, and William literally abandoned the projection — and the well-nigh recent Delos replica — in the bowels of Westworld.

Emily: While William allegedly killed his human daughter in the park (assertive her to exist a robot), she (or a replica) visits her father during the post-credits sequence of the season two finale.

William: We never run into William die onscreen during the season two finale, but the mail-credits sequence strongly implies that, like his begetter-in-constabulary before him, an endeavor has been made to replicate him in a robot trunk, much like the failed effort to practice the same to James Delos. William has definitely been human all flavour long, only subsequently a host replica of his Man In Blackness persona slits his pharynx, information technology seems likely that in season four, Ed Harris will exist playing an bogus version of the character.

Karl Strand: The caput of the Delos extraction team, and still alive at the end of flavour two. Probably he'south a human being, but hey, you lot never can know for sure.

Giggles: Another criminal associate, but his technologically advanced T-shirt implies that he may not be strictly human.

Engerraund Serac: A suspected trillionaire who has recruited Maeve to aid him fight back against Dolores' war on humanity.

Caleb Nichols:An average Joe military veteran, struggling to get by in 2050s Los Angeles.

Liam Dempsey Jr.:An upwards-and-coming tech innovator and son of the co-founder of Incite, whom Dolores has befriended.

Ash: Ane of Caleb's associates within the criminal underworld of Los Angeles.

Sylvester and Felix:The ii human lab techs who helped Maeve upgrade her system and later escape. (It is genuinely shocking that these are the only two likely humans to survive season two.)

This mail will be updated throughout the flavor because robots might emerge at whatever moment.

Wait, Who's a Robot and Who'due south Human on Westworld Again?
