Collins (Owning Mahowny, Doomstown) as Hale, Dyson's partner and a Light Fae siren born of noble blood.

Paul Amos (Sex After Kids, Murdoch Mysteries) returns as the ever devious Dark Fae Mesmer, Vex, and Emmanuelle Vaugier (The Mentalist, Two And A Half Men) reprises her role as the evil Dark Fae leader, The Morrigan.
