75	A Fringe agent in the year 2036. He reports directly to Broyles (who reports to Windmark), but is in truth the leader of the [[LaResistance resistance movement]] against the Observers.

87	* TheUnfavorite: Pretty much everyone except Etta doesn't really like Simon, and find him to be shady and untrustworthy. ...And they're more or less on the money, since he's leading the resistance.

102	A mysterious man first hinted at by Edwin Massey - he was essentially the first one to have arrived at their camp looking for the rocks Walter needed, but was taken away by the Invaders. However it turns out that Donald may be far more instrumental to Walter's plan than anyone had realized before. That said, all of Walter's memories regarding Donald were erased by Windmark.
103
104	Who Donald really is and what is his role in everything has yet to be fully revealed. Is revealed to be September himself, in fact. Albeit...different. With hair. After helping Walter establish the plan he was eventually captured by the Observers who "interrogated" him for some time. After being deemed a low class threat he had his Observer tech removed, was biologically reduced to a normal human and was sent back to 2015 where he lived his days in Brooklyn until the Fringe team found him.
