Jeff Conniker is the estranged father of Carly Shannon's baby, Jeffrey Conniker Jr. He is an alcoholic who would often come home drunk and was abusive towards Carly. He also seems to stalk her while he's supposed to be on patrol.

History[]

Jeff had been in a relationship with Carly and they had a child, Jeffrey, together. While he often used Carly as a punching bag he was nothing but doting to his son. He also had an amiable personal and professional relationship with his sergeant Shanski, and according to him, his reputation at the precinct was of "a good family man." (S1E09: Bishop)

Jeff Conniker[]

Coming home drunk one night, he gets angry at Carly because he thinks she's talking to him like he's an idiot and punches her, making her fall to the floor. He would have continued to beat her to death if Traveler 3465's consciousness hadn't overwritten Carly's. It's unknown what historically happened to him after he beat his girlfriend to death though Carly says later that Jeffrey Jr would've been raised by a deadbeat father. Carly, now Traveler 3465, then asks him to leave which he does.

When he returns in the morning, Carly, now a Traveler, tells him that she refuses to make up and that time spent with his son will now be one arranged hour per day, and he needs to financially support them. (S1E01: Travelers)

Jeff stalks Carly while he's supposed to be out on patrol and then confronts her on the street while she's out, pushing her to get back together with him and making it out like he only drank 'a little too much' on the one occasion - an obvious lie.

While researching sudden personality changes like what seemed to happen with Carly, Jeff gets a flash drive from Sarge containing footage of a fight involving Marcy Warton. He tracks her down, pressuring her to report an assault against her and threatening her by revealing he knows she's staying with David Mailer, her social worker. He has other suspicions that something is going on. (S1E03: Aleksander)

When Marcy doesn't report the assault, Jeff sends in a report to David's boss, detailing the supposed romantic relationship between him and Marcy. He sues Carly for custody of their child. (S1E08: Donner)

Jeff shows up at the FBI office where Grant MacLaren works and tells him to back away from Carly because he doesn't want anyone in his way as he tries to put his family back together. Grant tells him that he's only spoken to Carly on official business and that he knows Jeff abused her, but Jeff goes and speaks to Kathryn about Grant anyway allegedly sleeping with Carly.

He later files a police report against Carly for assaulting a police officer, torpedoing Carly's efforts to get a job at a landscaping business. Incensed, Traveler 3465 confronts him outside the precinct, and shares details of Carly's fated death. Jeff dismisses it as "batshit crazy talk". When Carly has to go to other job interviews (actually cover for a Traveler mission), however, she drops off Jeffrey Jr. with Jeff, who uses the opportunity to buy his son ice cream, bond, and jokingly teach him guns. (S1E09: Bishop)

Jeff is tasked to watch over his son for only a couple of hours, but Carly hasn't returned in two days. Carly willingly giving up her son to Jeff allows him to win temporary custody of his son until their custodial hearing is resolved. Outside the precinct Jeff is goaded by Carly into hitting her, but he realizes they're in view of a CCTV and doesn't fall for the bait. He warns her he'll file a restraining order if she comes by his office again. (S1E11: Marcy)

While Jeff is dropping off his son at his babysitter, Carly is nearby watching when she's attacked by a little girl. Jeff sees the commotion and shoots the girl before the latter gets the chance to shoot Carly. Instead of being grateful, Carly bails on her car, leaving a confused and panicking Jeff at the scene. (S1E12: Grace)

Back at the station, Jeff is requested to hand over his badge by Sarge, who assures him he's going to be cleared of any wrongdoing. The girl, Charlotte, turned out to have murdered her family before attacking Carly. Jeff is asked to go home since he had a few drinks following the incident. (S2E01: Ave Machina)

While he is indeed reinstated as a cop, the shooting leads to Jeff losing custody of Jeff Jr. to child services. This prompts Carly to sit with him and talk their issues out. Jeff and Carly decide to move back in together and go to counselling for show in order to win custody back. Their case worker Jacqueline isn't fooled, but praises them for trying and allows them to get their son back. Jeff has decided to give up alcohol, but then opens a bottle of bubbly to celebrate getting his child back. (S2E02: Protocol 4, S2E03: Jacob)

He later drinks when he goes out with his friends from work because he says it would've been disrespectful not to. He pushes Carly to sleep with him, saying that she owes him for his good behaviour. When she rejects him, Jeff attempts to rape her but Carly ends up beating him up and, without intervention from Philip Pearson, would've killed him. (S2E11: Simon)

Following this, Jeff uses his bruises in order to gain primary custody of Jeffrey Jr. However, he still has his drinking problem and is caught driving under the influence at twice the safe level. Jeffrey ends up back in the care of Washington Family services and Jeff is suspended. (S3E02: Yates)

Traveler 5416[]

Traveler 5416 takes over Jeff's body when Traveler 3465 forces a T.E.L.L. in which both 3465 and Jeff would have ended up shooting each other if Jeff had not been overwritten as per 3326's other timeline vision. (S3E04: Perrow)

Like most new Travelers, 5416 is amazed at mundane things and shares his experiences with Carly. He recognizes his host was an asshole though, and he makes an effort to learn about him as per his Protocol 5. After receiving supplies from Carly, the two part on professional but friendly, if a bit awkward, terms. He starts attending meetings of people whose loved ones were taken over by Travelers. (S3E05: Naomi)

Jeff's DUI charges end up being dropped thanks to Sarge. 5416 follows Sarge's list of social workers and attempts to rehabilitate his life. He goes to David Mailer expecting him to sign forms, but the latter needs to see Jeff actually put in some effort. While visiting some homeless under David's care a messenger orders 5416 to provide tactical support to the core team to save kidnapped Historians. Jeff excuses himself claiming he needs to go to an AA meeting alone.

At the building where the Historians are held Jeff comes across Mitch, the sponsor of the Travelers Anonymous meetings he's been going to. He is revealed to be Faction and tries to draw his gun, but Jeff is faster and shoots him dead. While driving away with Carly in the aftermath, they recover a birthday present for their son in Jeff's car. They discuss Jeff Jr.'s current foster family, and 5416 is glad to hear his son is in a healthy environment. (S3E06: Philip)

Traveler 5416 works undercover in The Faction to rescue the Archivist A-18 as The Director was blind to her whereabouts due to the Faction hiding their location from the Director in order to not be overwritten or killed by messenger.

After helping A-18 to the Washington archive he mounts a solo resistance effort outside the building. It turns out the incoming vehicles aren't the archive reinforcements, but Faction. 5416 is captured and questioned by 001 about Traveler 3569. He temporarily escaped and attempted to contact the core traveler team, but they were preoccupied with David's impending death. (S3E08: Archive, S3E09: David)

Traveler 001[]

For Traveler 001's future history and history in other hosts see Vincent Ingram and Dr. Perrow.

During the time Traveler 5416 was captured he was overwritten by Traveler 001 before the team was able to rescue him. He made it appear like Traveler 5461 had been captured by Traveler 001 and was locked away, waiting to die. Grant and Carly found him and saved his life.

When he'd recovered, he tracked down Marcy and went to talk to her. After explaining what happened to his wife (Irene Ingram), Marcy figured something was wrong and tried to defend herself but lost. She was taken to Ilsa because she still contained a backdoor code to the Director to shut it down but killed herself before Traveler 001 was able to use it. Instead, he transferred his consciousness into the internet to wait for the future to arrive in order to eventually take over the Director. (S3E10: Protocol Omega)
