This is a list of the main characters in the TV series Tru Calling.
Tru Davies is the show's main character, portrayed by Eliza Dushku.
At the age of only 12 years old, Tru witnessed the murder of her mother, Elise Davies. Later in the series, it is revealed that Carl Neesan (Wade Andrew Williams), the hitman who killed her was hired by Tru's father, Richard. After her mother's demise, Tru, her younger brother Harrison and older sister Meredith were abandoned by their father and little has been revealed about who raised them from that point on.
Tru possesses the power to relive the current day when a corpse asks for her help to turn back the clock in order to save his/her Life, or help someone whom the corpse affected in some way. Mostly triumphant, Tru has on occasion been unsuccessful in saving lives, sometimes because of the interference of Jack Harper and sometimes because the corpse was not meant to live. On some occasions her power changed. An instance of this was when a group of five corpses all asked for her help at the same time. Other times her day rewound more than once on an already rewound day, as in "The Longest Day" and "Grace". In "The Last Good Day", when a dead woman asked Jack Harper for help, Tru finally discovered what Jack saw when a corpse would ask her for help. She described this as a Dark Feeling which she would never want to experience again.
Although both can relive days, it has never been said who is evil, Tru or Jack. Jack has always been portrayed as evil, which Jack denies, although at certain times Jack has broken the rules of preserving fate, such as to make Luc die to teach Tru a lesson.
While Tru claims that she is saving people who were taken before their time, Jack claims that he is merely preserving fate, and that if Tru saves someone who is meant to die, she creates a ripple effect in fate.
Davis is Tru's supervisor, friend, and confidante at the Morgue. Davis is portrayed by actor Zach Galifianakis. Years ago, Tru's mother tried to warn him of the car accident that was about to happen. He didn't heed the warning, but Tru's mother flattened his car's tires, thus saving his life, but unable to save his spouse. Spending years living in regret and guilt, now acts as a mentor to Tru. He is a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and has been in a relationship with Dr. Carrie Allen who, unbeknownst to Davis, is a mole working for Jack Harper. In season 1, we find out that Davis is his middle name, although we are not told what his first or last name is.
Harrison Davies is Tru's younger brother. He and Lindsay were formerly together, however, she broke it off, and married an old friend. Harrison is played by actor Shawn Reaves. In the season 1 finale "Two Weddings and a Funeral", Harrison is shot and killed by the jealous ex-husband of a woman he had just met. His corpse asks Tru for help, but Jack warns her that saving him will cause someone else to have to die to take his place. At the end of the episode, Jack's manipulations cause Luc to get shot instead of Harrison. In season two he works for his father's law firm. His father implies he has plans for him, but as the show was canceled this was never resolved.
