Character Relationship Chart

Here is the Person of Interest Character Relationship Chart. This chart has 4307 words, and well over 100 connecting arrows and lines on it which basically demonstrate how the characters relate to each other. I try to update this chart once every two to three episodes

This version of the chart is a major redesign when compared to the previous design. This version (3.X.X) is larger in size, but has a lot more information available, and presented in a much more efficient and scalable way

How to read the new chart:

There are 5 main characters that have a designated color. These are Finch (blue), Reese (red) The Machine (green), Elias (brown), and Shaw (pink). On the old chart, the characters and their connections were connected directly to each other via arrows. While this worked perfectly fine, scalability was becoming increasingly problematic. In this version, 5 main characters have their own colored "trunk line". This looks complicated but in reality, the concept is very simple. If any smaller character needs to connect to any of the 5 main characters, then instead of there having to be a logical connection to them, the connection can be made by hooking in directly rto the "trunk", thus creating a connection between the characters in a logical way, instead of physically

Does that make sense?? No?? Well, if you look at the chart, things become a lot clearer. Despite some characters such as Zoe Morgan, and Bear (yes, Bear!!) being well away from the main characters they connect to, the new design means they can be anywhere on the chart and still remain connected to the main characters via the "trunk"

I've also increased the resolution of the chart slightly, though this does make the download size a bit bigger

New characters:

Sarah Shaw, Leon Tao, and Bear the dog are on the chart for the first time

NOTE: The chart will be updated after the finale

Video Featurettes

Below are two videos, one about Harold Finch, and the other about John Reese. These are both 5 minutes long and are very well worth watching
