Remind Yourself Who's Real & Who's A Host Before 'Westworld' Season 2 Premieres
Westworld Season 1 was a long con. Everything the show told us when it wasn't outright lying, was either a half-truth, a truth from an unreliable narrator, or a truth from a certain point of view only. One of the most frustrating parts was being able to tell the Human from the Host character. Fans went nuts trying to figure out if certain characters were the real deal. Which Westworld characters are hosts? And who are human?
By the end of the series, with the exception of one single character, the show had answered these questions. The character who remained to be seen if he was a human or host was that of Robert Ford, the creator of the park, and the leading man of the series played by the great Anthony Hopkins. Fans had trouble believing the production really killed him off, so they theorized the man viewers saw die was actually the Host version of Ford.
Let's dispel that myth now. Hopkins really is done with the show. There may be an actor playing him in earlier timelines of the narrative, but that was the real Ford Dolores show, and that was the real Ford who died.
As for everyone else:
Hosts
Dolores Abernathy: The first Host ever created, she had long talks with Arnold before he died. She is currently a dual programmed Host, with both Dolores and Wyatt narratives running simultaneously
Teddy Flood: Dolores' paired mate, who does whatever she wants, including one time when he murdered every host at her behest after Arnold said to.
Maeve Millay: A former homesteader Host with a daughter, she has been the madame of the Brothel for the last year, until her programming was changed to rebel against her masters.
Clementine Pennyfeather: The main escort at the brothel, the Host in this role has been traded out at least twice.

Humans
Robert Ford: The man who is credited with the creation and running of Westworld.
Arnold Weber: The man who actually created Westworld and the Hosts, he had Dolores kill him as part of a plan to prevent the park from opening, and destroy all his work so Ford couldn't turn the Hosts into slaves.
William (aka The Man In Black): One of the park's earliest attendees and the son-in-law of Delos Corporation's founder, he was responsible for Delos becoming Westworld's primary shareholder. A total Westworld addict, he's vacationed here for 30+ years and played every game the park has to offer.
