Dwight Hendrickson - Adam Copeland

 

 

Dwight is a mysterious Haven resident that Nathan only learned about after his father's death. He had helped the Chief deal with the aftermath of incidents caused by the Troubles by working as a cleaner. During his first appearance in Sparks and Recreation, he proudly quotes the Chief saying, "I'm Dwight; I clean things up" after Audrey asked him if he does both electrical and construction work. Dwight is also "a former Army Ranger felled by a supernatural affliction in Afghanistan." That affliction is revealed to be attracting bullets (Lockdown) after he saved Nathan from one of the gunmen outside the Haven police station. He later explains his affliction to Duke (Business as Usual). Even his dad knew about it, but refused to think he and Dwight were Troubled. Dwight came to Haven through the invitation of The Guard, an organization whose aim is to help the Troubled. However, Dwight became disenchanted and left The Guard.

During the search for Rory Campbell who had gone missing in the woods, it was revealed that Dwight had a young daughter named Lizzie (Who, What, Where, Wendigo?). In a series of webisodes, Dwight explains that she died when The Guard members came to deal with him. The emotional turmoil triggered in her the family affliction of being a bullet magnet and Lizzie is killed by a stray bullet.

Vince appointed him as Haven's Chief of Police after Nathan leaves the town and spends six months hiding from the Guard. Dwight has been faced with dealing with the fallout of the meteor storm, the Troubles not subsiding, the disappearance of Nathan, and the believed deaths of Audrey and Duke. It is mentioned that a lot of Haven's residents have given up hope and he has been tasked with trying to keep the town of Haven together. When Nathan returns, Dwight hires him as a detective on the force but Nathan points that its just temporary until he finds Audrey.
