Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel)

Brilliant, but narrow-focused on her work to the point of seeming to lack any social skills. She can appear to be cold and unable to empathize with people, but first impressions can be deceiving. As the show progresses, the inner emotions and the human past of Dr. Brennan are slowly revealed.

She chose her field of research in order to find out what happened to her parents, who vanished without a trace when she was in her teens - leading to an unpleasant time in the foster-care system before being rescued by her grandfather. It has been revealed that she has one living brother.

Apparently, she has always been brilliant, which has been noted by her teachers, including her professor of forensic anthropology with whom she was once romantically involved.

She appears to have an amazing lack of understanding of modern pop culture. A running gag through the series is when someone makes an obvious pop culture refrence and she blankly states "I don't know what that means."

Her on screen chemistry with her "partner" Agent Seeley Booth is uncertain and confusing at times, leaving the viewer perplexed, but never bored.

Angela Montenegro (Michaela Conlin)

Angela Montenegro is not one of the "geeks". An artist, free spirit, and "wild-child" at heart, she is the team's specialist in forensic facial reconstruction. She is the center of life and passion in the team, although not quite of normality and stability.

Although artistic in temperament, she is obviously quite intelligent, developing, maintaining, and improving the lab's 3-dimensional graphics and computer simulation system. While she may not exhibit the same social traits as her colleagues, she is well suited intellectually to the team.

She is open, friendly, and caring, seeming to have taken on a nurturing role in the team: she has befriended and constantly tries to draw out Dr. Brennan, and she acts as advisor and "social coach" to Zack. Her rapport with Jack seems to be that of a colleague, the two of them being the closest to socially normal within the team. Her appreciation for the well-scrubbed appearance of Seeley Booth is obvious for anyone within sight or earshot of her.

Little is known of her family, although it was revealed that she is the daughter of Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. Apart from this, and the parade of faces and anecdotes from her love-life, not much is known of her background. It is reveled that at one point, she got married in a fire-water-influenced ceremony in Fiji. She was unsure whether the marriage "stuck" (was legal) and has no knowledge of where her husband is now.

Zack Addy (Eric Millegan)

Zack Addy is Dr. Brennan's brilliant young assistant. Coming from a large Michigan family, he is a former child prodigy, a genius with an I.Q. well above 163 and a supposed photographic memory. He has started several doctorates, but hasn't finished any.

Despite his brilliance, he is unsure of himself, and is unable to forcefully express his opinion to Dr. Brennan, although he has come up with crucial insights vital to some of the team's cases.

His specialty appears to be insects and their effect on corpses; it is usually his task to remove the flesh from the bones, a process known as debriding.

Zack is as close to the stereotypical geek as anyone else on the team. Although well-meaning, helpful, and friendly, when a situation calls for social interaction or intuition, he is often lost. Further evidence of his social ineptitude can be seen in the frequent, on-screen coaching in social matter he gets from Jack and Angela.

Zack's only friend seems to be Jack, with whom it was once thought he was roommates. In fact, he rents from and also carpools with Jack, since he can't drive.

Dr. Jack Hodgins (T.J. Thyne)

Jack is an entomologist and also an expert on spores and minerals, but conspiracy is his hobby. He can estimate the time of death from the development of insect larvae.

Hodgins is one of the more sarcastic members of the group. He seems to have a dislike for Goodman's way of working, and is sometimes "the funny man". He is one of the more normal persons in the group, and helps teach Zack how to be socially normal.

His family is extremely wealthy and affluent - and happens to be the single largest donor to the Jeffersonian Institute. Jack wishes for his current occupation to remain concealed from his family as he fears they will prevent him from pursuing his career. Booth, Zack and Angela know about his family, but respect his wishes to keep it from Brennan.
