Former Marine buddy of Broyles, Harris has a very sour history with Olivia: During their time in the military, she had him investigated and court marshaled on sexual charges. Ever since then, he's had a very low and biased opinion of her, and always made her job harder.

But I can't really tell you for sure, because I don't know where the story's going." The interview this quote was taken from was conducted shortly before "Ability" aired.

A high-risk criminal and biological-terrorist, Jones is directly responsible for many of the incidents involving the Pattern at the beginning. In truth however, it was revealed that he was using the ZFT manuscript for preparation of soldiers to combat the alternate universe.

http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ZFT001_6323.png
ZFT is both the name of a self-published manuscript written by William Bell, and a biological terrorist organization lead by David Robert Jones, who fanatically follows the manuscript through its logical extreme. ZFT is responsible for the majority of Pattern cases throughout the first season, and is later revealed that all these were experiments to prepare for the upcoming war against the alternate universe.
