* PetterWeller: Goes without saying.
* TimeManipulator

A brilliant mathematician and theoretical astro-physicist who is considered to be even ahead of Walter's time.

<<|Characters/{{Fringe}}|>>

* LackofEmpathy: Described as ruthless, vicious and an all-around CompleteMonster.

A ruthless former Army colonel, he was a steadfast supporter of ''Project Tin Man''. The project was initially developed to treat soldiers afflicted with nerve agents, but had an interesting sideffect of also turning them into [[WhyAmITicking human bombs]]. Gordon had a fast interest in the human bomb part, so fought to keep the project alive but ultimately failed. Following that, he went AWOL and was considered a traitor.

Turns out, Broyles wasn't the only one who noticed the Observers - so did Gordon, but he also noticed that the Observer made user of human couriers transporting black briefcases. Paranoid that the Observers was studying us for nefarious purposes, he made use of soldiers still loyal to him as bombs to intercept the couriers. He was caught by the Fringe team, and labeled as clinically insane following his interrogation.

* LackofEmpathy: Descriped as ruthless, vicious and an all-around CompleteMonster.

-->''"I needed to be more than I am. Something unique. Doctor Jones understood that. He promised to make me like no one else. I was to be the first of a new breed of human beings. But I was a disappointment."''

''Portrayed by Max Arciniega, Tim Guinee, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_Morrow Kirby Morrow]] (pictured left)''
->''First Appearance:'' Season 4, Episode 17: "Everything In Its Right Place"

The first human-based shapeshifter created by Jones. He was, essentially, a failure - he can't hold a single form for too long, nor can he survive without a form. After he was tossed away by Jones, he survived by preying on rapists and serial killers as ''they'' were preying on their victims - rescuing them, and taking on the offender's form in the process. Following a [[WhatTheHellHero nice lecture]] from Lincoln after he was captured, he completly defected and helped apprehend [[spoiler:"Meana"]]. He's currently working with Walter and Peter to find a way to stop Jones.

Tropes associated with Canaan:
* ActorAllusion: A SerialKillerKiller minion that is/was [[MyMasterRightOrWrong blindly loyal]] to the BigBad. One of the people to play Canaan is KirbyMorrow who voiced Teru Mikami on ''Manga/DeathNote''.
** Another allusion: Max Arciniega is well known for his portrayal of the drug dealer Krazy-8 in the first two seasons of BreakingBad. Canaan's second victim? A drug dealer portrayed by Max Arciniega.
* BadPowersGoodPeople
* BrokenBird: He's always hated himself for "not being special". Being dubbed a failure by Jones hit him ''hard''.
* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: For a good while, he ''still'' believed that Jones would come through for him, and [[BlatantLies "fix him."]]
* CrisisOfFaith: He seriously starts to question his standing after [[spoiler:Meana]] sends Maddox to kill him.
* DefectorFromDecadence
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife
* TheDogBitesBack
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: He constantly has to change forms in order to survive, meaning he has to kill. He tries to justify this by doing away with serial killers and rapists.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: [[InvokedTrope invoked]] almost word-for-word.
* MeaningfulName
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: The first shape shifter not to be a bad guy.
* NotSoDifferent: he and Lincoln.
* OddFriendship: with Lincoln.
* SerialKillerKiller: Considering he ''can't survive'' in a single form for too long, he really doesn't have any other choice.
* ShadowArchetype: To Lincoln. [[NotSoDifferent They both lost someone they loved]] [[DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife and they both feel as though the world has passed them by.]] [[TheHerosJourney Canaan's story helps Lincoln figure out what he needs to do with his life.]]
* SheepInWolfsClothing: [[spoiler: Takes the form of Maddox and deceives Nina Sharp.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: Lincoln calls him out on his blind faith in Jones right after Maddox was sent to kill him ([[spoiler:And ended up killing the alternate Lincoln...]]).
[[/folder]]

* SanitySlippage: If the Season 5 premiere was any indication, the Observer occupation has driven him completely insane, and a bit creepy with the way [[spoiler:he was hogging Olivia in amber and fantasizing about a love with her]].

** His trick with the business cards initially seemed like a random gimmick, but in the end it helped her get over [[spoiler: Charlie's death]] by spelling out the first thing he told her on the job: [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming ''"You're going to be fine."'' ]]

* OlderThanTheyLook: ''"I'm older than I look. I barely remember my childhood. I'm also taller than I appear."''

* [[spoiler:TheEveryman: Sam's biggest secret? He's just an ordinary bowling alley owner after all. What sets him apart is that he has considerably more knowledge about the First People and alternate universes than anyone else due to his family line. His whole attitude towards the whole thing goes pretty much like this:]]
