Premise [edit]
Blood & Treasure centers on "a brilliant antiquities expert and a cunning art thief who team up to catch a ruthless terrorist who funds his attacks through stolen treasure. As they crisscross the globe hunting their target, they unexpectedly find themselves in the center of a 2,000-year-old battle for the cradle of civilization."[5]
Cast and characters [edit]
Main [edit]
- Matt Barr as Danny McNamara, a former FBI agent who now works as a lawyer specializing in repatriating stolen art.
- Sofia Pernas as Lexi Vaziri, a thief and con woman partnered with Danny despite their tortured past. Her mother was secretly a member of the Brotherhood of Serapis and a descendant of Cleopatra.
- James Callis as Simon Hardwick (né Karim Farouk), an international smuggler who was rescued by Danny after being kidnapped by Farouk and now seeks to uncover the secrets behind the Brotherhood. He later kills Hegazi, allegedly as revenge for the torture he suffered at his hands, but really to keep Hegazi from revealing that he wasn't really Farouk. In the season one finale it is revealed that he was the real Karim Farouk all along, as well as Reece's illegitimate son. He is finally arrested by Danny, Lexi and Gwen.
- Katia Winter as Gwen Karlsson, an Interpol agent assigned to the Farouk case.
- Michael James Shaw as Aiden Shaw (né Dwayne Coleman), an arms dealer with ties to Farouk. He reluctantly assists Danny and Lexi at first, but eventually develops an acceptable working relationship with them.
- Oded Fehr as Karim Farouk (né Rasheed Hegazi), an Egyptian terrorist leader who was seemingly killed in a drone attack, but somehow survived and now seeks to steal ancient artifacts so he can weaponize them. He is shot and killed by Hardwick, who is revealed to be the real Farouk (season 1).
- Alicia Coppola as Dr. Ana Castillo, Danny's mentor who is regarded as the world's foremost expert on Cleopatra. She is killed by Reece when she discovers that he is Farouk's father (season 1).
- Mark Gagliardi as Father Chuck, an old friend of Danny's who works as a priest in the Vatican foreign ministry.
Recurring [edit]
- John Larroquette as Jay "Jacob" Reece, a billionaire and father figure to Danny who oversees his effort to find Castillo and stop Farouk's plan. It is later revealed that, not only was he responsible for framing Danny's father for art theft, but Farouk is Reece's son, having been abandoned after Reece had a fling with a woman named Zara Farouk. He also murdered Dr. Castillo after she discovered the link between him and Farouk. In the season one finale, he is poisoned by his son Farouk (Simon Hardwick), but is saved by Lexi not wanting that he destroy Danny's life. He is sent in jail after Lexi defeats and captures Roarke.
- Antonio Cupo as Captain Bruno Fabi, an officer in the Carabinieri TPC, and secretly a member of the Brotherhood of Serapis. He dies after being shot while helping Danny and Lexi (season 1).
