[edit] Biography

[edit] Season 1

Besides leading Fringe Division, Broyles is also a member, and perhaps leads, the Oversight Committee, a group involved in the highly classified investigation of The Pattern. He selected the members of the Science Team to assist in this endeavor. Initially somewhat reluctant to share information with Olivia, Broyles has been impressed with the results of her work and has come to trust her abilities, even to the point of considering her a superstar according to Sanford Harris in Bound.

Broyles appears to maintain a close business relationship with Nina Sharp, a member of the Oversight Committee and Chief Operating Officer of Massive Dynamic, but the nature of this relationship is unclear. In The Ghost Network, Broyles hands-over to her a high-tech micro-disk recovered during the investigation, telling her "I'm sure you can understand why I don't want to go through channels.". In Safe, Broyles confronts her, practically accusing her of being behind Olivia's abduction.
