Special Agent Seeley Booth (Season 1–) is a former Army sniper with the Rangers, who is currently an agent with the FBI.

Angela Montenegro
- Gender:
- Female
- Orientation:
- Bisexual
Angela Montenegro is a fictional character, written as the daughter of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Angela was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 16. Her middle name is meant to be an allusion to her father's guitar "Miss Pearly Gates." Angela Montenegro is not her birth name; rather, it came to her in a dream and she legally changed her name on her 18th birthday. The character of Angela Montenegro is a specialist in forensic facial reconstruction at the fictional Jeffersonian Institution, who frequently works with Dr. Temperance Brennan, her best friend. Angela received her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin in visual arts, with a minor in computer science. She uses her skills as an artist to develop, maintain, and improve the lab’s 3-dimensional graphics and computer simulation systems. Angela is bisexual. It has been revealed that eight years prior she was in a short-term relationship with a woman named Roxie, "whose heart [Angela] broke in art school." Although Roxie briefly re-entered Angela's life, their short-lived relationship did not work out. *came from wikipedia*
-
Jack Hodgins
- Gender:
- Male
- Orientation:
- Straight
Jack Hodgins comes from an extremely wealthy family, and is the sole heir to the fictional private corporation known as the Cantilever Group, although he hides his wealth from his coworkers for a long time. He is the single largest donor to the Jeffersonian, although he would rather toil in academia than spend time in the high social society to which his wealth entitles him. Hodgins, like Zack, was bullied in school: in elementary and middle school for being a "rich boy" and in high school for his small physical stature and diminished social skills. It is later noted that he "managed to stand up for himself" on the last day of senior year, which Sweets believes gave him closure. Hodgins drives an original Mini Cooper, although in later seasons he was seen driving a Toyota Prius as well. He is an experienced cave diver. *came from wikipedia*
-
Camille Saroyan
- Gender:
- Female
- Orientation:
- Straight
Previously Dr. Saroyan worked in New York, performing autopsies in difficult and sometimes unsanitary conditions, and admits to Booth she took the job because of the facilities. In "The Parts in the Sum of the Whole", it is revealed that Cam, who had briefly met Brennan at a conference on decapitation, advised Booth to seek her advice on a *** investigation, which became Booth and Brennan's first case together. She is a 'hard line' woman who takes charge of her Division and defends them if necessary, as long as she believes they are in the right (though she does at time crack jokes, but no one gets her humor). In the beginning of Season 2, Saroyan butts heads with Dr. Brennan and the other team members, but she eventually accepts their quirks and develops relationships with them. At one point early in Season 2, she considers removing Dr. Brennan from her position at the Jeffersonian, until both Angela and Booth make it abundantly clear if Brennan goes, the entire team will leave. In the episode "The Man in the Cell", Camille is almost killed by a neurotoxin (methyl bromide) to which she is exposed by serial killer Howard Epps. Epps' attack on Dr. Saroyan has an extreme emotional effect on both Brennan and Booth. Luckily, Hodgins manages to find out what the toxin is and alerts the hospital in time to save Cam. Originally, Saroyan was supposed to die in the episode, ending her character run; but the cast and the producers thought Camille Saroyan was a good addition to the storyline and decided to keep her. Like all the other "squints", she is interested in Booth and Brennan's relationship. She often overhears their telephone exchanges or overly intimate conversations and smiles or shakes her head at their apparent obliquity and insistence their relationship is strictly platonic and professional. Cam enjoys reading trashy romance novels as a way to unwind after a day on the job. In the Season 2 episode "The Bodies in the Book," she reveals that she has not read Brennan's books because she doesn't like to deal with *** on her off-hours *came from wikipedia*
-
Lance Sweets
- Gender:
- Male
- Orientation:
- Straight
Sweets, like Seeley Booth, was abused as a child until he was adopted at six years old; he still has whip scars on his back. This is contrary to Booth's first impression of Sweets, conjecturing that, based on his youth, the worst thing that had ever happened to him was that he "lost at Mortal Kombat". His loving, but elderly, adoptive parents died shortly before Dr. Sweets began working with Booth and Brennan, leaving him without a family. Sweets' relationship with his adoptive parents, however, left him with the belief that broken people can be saved by people with good hearts, inspiring him to become a psychologist. Most of this was uncovered by Dr. Gordon Wyatt (now Chef) in reading Sweets' manuscript on Booth and Brennan's working relationship, stating that works like his often reveal more about the writer than the subject manner. He deducts that Sweets was adopted at "about 4," (Sweets was adopted at 6) his parents were older than the usual age that people adopt, and the fact that they died just before coming to work with Booth and Brennan. Details about Sweets' life as a teenager are few, but "Mayhem on a Cross" reveals that he had been a fan of death metal as a teenager, and he continues to listen to it after a bad day. He is, however, highly educated despite his youth, holding two doctorates despite only being twenty-two years of age when he first meets Booth and Brennan. To have reached this level of education, Sweets must have begun attending the University of Toronto as an undergraduate at age fourteen or fifteen, attending for three years before obtaining his Masters in abnormal psychology from Temple University (roughly one or two years), and two doctorates (clinical psychology and behavioral analysis) from the University of Pennsylvania within three years. This has led some members of the team to doubt his degrees' validity and Sweets has admitted to Brennan that he earned money for graduate school by teaching psychology techniques to car salesmen—a fact that he is not proud of. In "Double Trouble In The Panhandle", Dr. Sweets reveals that upon reaching the age of maturity, he tracked down his birth mother, who was a psychic working in a circus in South Florida. The details of their relationship are unknown. *came from wikipedia*

Gordon Wyatt
- Gender:
- Male
- Orientation:
- Straight
Dr. Gordon Gordon Wyatt M.D. (Season 2, recurring after) is the psychiatrist trained in forensic psychology who was assigned to evaluate Agent Seeley Booth in the episode "The Girl in the Gator" after Booth shoots at an ice cream truck. At first, Booth regards his therapy with skepticism but eventually comes to befriend Dr. Wyatt and affectionately call him "Gordon Gordon," based on Dr. Wyatt's way of introducing himself as "Gordon, Gordon Wyatt." Bones also takes to calling him "Gordon Gordon." According to Booth, Dr. Wyatt is "so English". Dr. Wyatt eventually tells Booth that his first and middle name are both Gordon. Dr. Wyatt also became involved in the lives of the "squints" in episode "The Priest in the Churchyard," when Booth asked Brennan to come to therapy with him to work out some partnership problems. Brennan, who has repeatedly shown an aversion to psychology, seems to have taken a liking to Dr. Wyatt because what he says makes sense so much so that she even takes Angela to see him when Angela is unsure of how to respond to Hodgins' request for her to move in with him. Dr. Wyatt returned in the episode "Mayhem on the Cross" after a time working with Interpol. He points out that Dr. Sweets observations of Booth and Brennan's relationship are off and in turn, points out to Booth and Brennan that Sweets' might be more complex than his chipper demeanor portrays. Dr Wyatt announced his retirement as a forensic psychiatrist and has enrolled in cooking school. He also reveals his past as "Noddy Comet," a glam rock guitarist, who "wore spandex, pancake makeup, and played a guitar shaped like a spaceship." He briefly returned in Season 5 when Booth was having trouble with his marksmanship after his recent tumor, during which he learned that Booth was in love with Brennan; unlike Sweets, who speculated that the tumor was the reason for Booth's feelings, Dr. Wyatt did not discourage Booth from feeling this way, but instead suggested that Booth has built up an 'idea' of him and Brennan as a family, suggesting that she accompany him to his marksmanship test as she would enable him to pass by reminding him that he has her to protect. *came from wikipedia*
