''Portrayed by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seth_Gabel Seth Gabel]]''
->''First Appearance:'' Season 3, Episode 17: "Stowaway"
A minor character in the original timeline, where his first experience with Fringe division was solving the case and mystery behind Dana Gray's apparent immortality. Despite his inexperience with dealing with the strangeness that Fringe Division deals with daily, he quickly demonstrated himself as a brilliant investigator and ally, establishing a close friendship with Peter.
In the amber timeline, he joins Fringe Division after the death of his partner.
----
Tropes associated with Special Agent Lee:

* ADayInTheLimelight: Season 4 episode "Everything in Its Right Place".
* AwesomenessByAnalysis
* BadAss: The season 4 premiere right off the bat sets him up as one: ''Do not'' fuck with Lincoln.
** BadassBookworm: The glasses certainly qualify him as one.
* TheComicallySerious: Has shades of it. It's really played for laughs directed at him however - going into Fringe division, he believes it's best with a fully opened mind, which includes accepting all the strangeness with as little personal bias as possible.
--> '''Lincoln''': Agent Broyles, if you don't mind my asking, what exactly is our plan to kill Gus?

The brilliant scientist who once worked with William Bell, Walter has spent 17 years maximum security mental institution but now he works with Fringe Division. The death of his son (and the subsequent death of alternate Peter) has been eating away at him for decades, and he has now become something of a paranoid trainwreck who refuses to leave the safety of his Harvard lab.

* OddFriendship: With Fauxlivia.
* ProperlyParanoid: Seeing his dead son pop up from another timeline has freaked him the hell out. Because of his past mistakes and guilt, he utterly ''refuses'' to have ''anything'' to do with Peter.
* TookALevelInBadass / TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: He gets his brain back in 4x19 - his ''whole brain''. At that point, he stops being our loveable crazy Walter, and turns into Walternate, essentially.]]

The current Secretary of Defense, the alternate Walter Bishop is the direct head of Fringe Division. He has begrudgingly accepted cooperation between the two sides to fix the problems of their worlds, but he still seems to be keeping some secrets...
-----
Tropes associated with Walternate:
* TheChessmaster
* CombatPragmatist: The way in which he exposes and disposes of [[spoiler:Brandon]] was downright ''efficient''.
* ConsummateLiar: Peter was rather impressed by his ability to lie through his teeth to his ''wife''.
--> '' "I must say, that was a brilliant performance. You almost looked genuinely surprised to see me, which we both know is not the case. " ''
* EnemyMine: He feels Peter is the only person he can trust because he is truly neutral, and as such, wants ''him'' to be the rope that binds the two universes against the new shapeshifters.

Biological terrorist extraordinaire. Not much is known about him, except that he is the one behind the human based shapeshifters, and that he is slowly replacing high-clearance individuals with his copies.
-----
Tropes associated with Jones:
* AGodAmI: His goal is to be the god of an advanced race, the Fringe Agents presume.
* BackFromTheDead: In the displaced timeline, Peter was never there to kill him, hence his spree of terror continues.
* BodyHorror: Oh, he's still a big fan of it - this time using a gas that ''melts people alive.'' But at the same time, is somewhat a victim of it. While still healing, his teleporation from Germany has left him quite scarred.
