Coulson is the agent from Avengers, Thor, and the Iron Man movies who represents SHIELD. He was "killed" in Avengers but he thinks he was revived in Tahiti. He must never learn the truth (though I would guess the viewers will eventually learn the truth).
Other characters are fairly generic. Sky is the hacker chick who was brought in from an underground organization called Rising Tide. We still don't know if she's a good girl or a bad girl.
May was apparently a highly regarded field agent who no longer wanted to work in the field, but changed her mind in the third episode.
Ward is the generic muscle of the show
Fitz and Simmons are the generic science nerds of the show.
