Joan Vance

Joan Vance, played by Amy Mahler, is a character who first appears in the webisode "Wendigo", an episode which establishes her joining the Agency to weeks prior to its events. Joan is a wise cracking and pretty agent whose partner and best friend is Agent Darius. The two spend "Wendigo" engaging in a series of friendly bets and back and forth wise cracks, illustrating how similar the two characters are. However both Darius and Joan can be reckless, putting emotion and instinct in front of logic and caution.

Episode 50 "Liability" introduced a character from Joan's past, her former lover Kitry Avineri. The two can't help but act tenderly towards each other, though Joan attempts to brutally deny any happiness that Kitry is there. By "Ohanzee" they are romantically involved again and Joan has two visions depicting her worst fears, one being Kitry's death and the second beind Kitry turning into a vampire and attacking her.

Joan felt at home at the Agency until both Kitry and Darius left. But even then Joan was an Agent to the heart. Even though she leaves the established Agency in "Exodus" her plan is to join Kitry overseas, and start a new sister Agency there.
