In terms of appearance, the Observers show similar characteristics such as being very pale as well as lacking eyebrows. Typically, they were dressed in black suits and accompanied by black fedoras. Personality wise, they tended to be calm, monotone and stoic in their interactions. During their operations, they were sometimes seen carrying briefcases that carried special contents. Some Observers were seen carrying flasks that contained only water within them which they drank.

Observers were also able to create small spherical devices designed to produce organic ocular suggestion. These consisted of orbs that were placed within the eye where in time they were absorbed. Afterwards, the writing within the orb would in time be absorbed into the mind of the subject and later compel them to follow the instructions within them. Another device resembled a small silver flat disc that projected blue holograms.

History
Watchers
The Observers were a mysterious enigmatic race of Humans that had evolved in one possible future timeline. They developed many generations from modern mankind and created highly advanced technology that allowed them to travel through time. Thus, the Observers were a team of scientists that were sent into various points in history to observe key moments in history in order to witness their own origins. This allowed them to witness the events of the Big Bang as well as being present in other similar events in history. Their capabilities did not restrict to watch events in one universe but allowed them to see moments in alternate universes as well. By the 21st century, they were believed to had recorded nearly two dozen events. One Observer by the name of September was noted to had triggered a catastrophic chain of events in the 20th century when he witnessed an alternate Walter Bishop attempting to find a cure for his dying son. By arriving at that moment, he incidently distracted Dr. Bishop and prevented him from seeing the developing cure. Noting that his son Peter Bishop was special, September worked to have the mainstream Walter Bishop cross dimensions to save Peter. September's continued involvement even saw him move into the frozen lake to save Peter Bishop who had fallen into it after crossing dimensions. However, this act created a hole in the universe and inadvertently led to the start of hostilities between the two universes. As a result, the Observers made attempts at ensuring the protection of the timeline which had been corrupted by these chain of events.
Totalitarian Control
Initially, the Observers who came from the future were content to only watch key moments that unfolded in human history. However, in 2015, they stopped observing and instead took control of the worlds governments. Despite citizen uprisings proved to be bloody but ultimately futile with those that survived became known as "Natives". Some members of these Native factions attempted to show their allegiance to the Observers whereupon they were called "Loyalists". During the invasion, the original members of the Fringe Division team fought the Observers but were swiftly defeated. The Fringe Team was allowed to function but at a reduced capacity with its responsibility being only to police the Natives. It was believed that any resistance forces to the Observers rule was overcome. This sequence of events continued until 2036 where the planet remained under Observer control. Amongst the leading Observers in this timeline was known as Windmark. (Episode: Letters of Transit)
