There he is! There she is! There they are! I don't know how you can identify a character from the play without looking at the play. Are you asking how these people are related to each other? The king and queen are, unsurprisingly, married to each other. Laertes is Polonius's son and Polonius is the councillor to the king.
Claudius shows respect towards Polonius. Since Polonius is the advisor to the King, kind of like the second in command, Claudius could only have treated him with respect.

Ophelia's father is Polonius, who is Claudius' advisor. Polonius is killed by Hamlet when he is hiding behind a tapestry, spying on Hamlet as he talks to his mother, Gertrude. After Polonius' death, Ophelia goes mad and eventually dies after she falls from a tree into a brook and drowns.
Hamlet mistakenly believes that it is Claudius who is hiding behind the arras instead of Polonius.

hamlet killed king Claudius, Polonius, and laertes. (he technically killed rosencrantz & guildenstern because of a letter telling the king of England to kill them)
Polonius believes that it is his duty to keep the King informed of important matters to demonstrate his loyalty and gain favor. Additionally, he may think that by sharing important information with the King, he can assert his influence and importance in the royal court.
Before Hamlet enters his mother's chamber, Polonius is having a discussion with Hamlet's mother Gertrude. As Hamlet enters the room, Polonius conceals himself behind a tapestry hanging from the wall. When he hears Gertrude begin to feel threatened by Hamlet, he cries out for help, thinking that he would kill them both. Hamlet hears Polonius, and believes him to be a rat/spy (possibly even King Claudius, but it is unclear if he truly believes this). Hamlet stabs through the tapestry killing Polonius, who remarks "O, I am slain".
Polonius, Ophelia, Gertrude, Hamlet, Claudius, and Laertes.
