The Observer/Michael Cerveris #3: Because it all started with him, he must be the one who ends it.

The Observer/Michael Cerveris #3
Because it all started with him, he must be the one who ends it.








About

In The Arrival, the Observer is seen taking notes in a small black notebook, writing using an unknown set of characters, and, for the first time, speaking. This may be code or another language altogether, but is presumably taking notes on his observations of The Pattern.
The Observer, and possibly the other Observers, seem to have the ability to share thoughts with others telepathically; he can also read and accurately predict the thoughts of others, as he demonstrates during his encounter with Peter Bishop.
It is also suggested that they are able to observe time, a suggestion supported by the rogue Observer named August in August after he prevents a girl named Christine Hollis from being on a plane that is destined to crash some hours later.
Appearing at many Fringe-related incidents involving Olivia, the Bishops and the Pattern. He does not seem to be involved in the direct cause of the events, but simply observing them.
In Fracture, as he eats in a diner, the Observer receives a briefcase with surveillance images of Walter from a secretive courier. The images contain data much like the images he saw through his binoculars in The Arrival.
He uses a specialized communications device in The Arrival, Brown Betty and Marionette.
In Walter's tall tale during Brown Betty, he is called Gemini and is referred to as a Watcher.
The Observer is bald with very pale skin and appears no eyebrows. He wears simple dark business suits, plain light-colored shirts and a simple dark tie. Outside he typically wears simple dark sunglasses along with a plain, dark fedora on his head.
He admits to Walter that he has very little sense of taste, explaining the extreme amounts of spices he adds to his food; Walter also notes he seems oblivious to cold temperatures. This implies he has dulled senses, or does not experience the 'five senses' in the same way ordinary humans do.
The Observer exhibits a calm, disinterested demeanor. In times when people are panicking, such as during the crane collapse in The Arrival, he acts calmly.

Background

In the alternate universe 1985, The Observer enters Walternate's lab and distracts him just as the cure to Peter's genetic ailment is discovered, and lost.
In the alternate universe 1985, The Observer confesses to fellow Observers that he interfered in the alternate Walternate's experiment to cure his son.
In the 1985 local universe, The Observer saved Peter and Walter Bishop from drowning after falling through frozen Lake Reiden, just after Walter abducted young Peter from the alternate universe.
He was on-hand at the first documented arrival of the Beacon at Quantico MB in 1987.

Quotes

"It has arrived..." - (into his cell phone just after the Beacon resonated itself to the surface)
"Thank you for hiding the Beacon. I can't touch it myself. I know you have questions. Soon you will have answers." - (to Walter after Walter drugged Astrid and hid the Beacon from Mosley)
"Departure on schedule." - (into his cell phone just after the Beacon resonated itself back into the ground)
"This coin looks similar to the one you're thinking of. But it is from another place. There is more than one of everything. I have said too much, I am not supposed to get involved. I have taken you as far as I can." - (encouraging Walter to search his old beach house to find the device hidden there that can seal the gap between the parallel universes)
"They are all unique. That is not reason to interfere with the course her life was meant to take" - (to August, about his fixation with Christine Hollis)

Who observes The Observers? We do.

Even though 99% of the time I never see them but other Fringies do.

Which makes me conclude that you observe nothing

All your attention is focused on something else

I observe plenty! But that's not for this thread.

Not my fault the Observer is so hard to find.

I still don't know what that was about.

I think he was starting the chain of events that would lead to Walter almost losing Peter. Maybe?
