Dr. Katrina Perrow was a psychiatrist specializing in panic disorders, social anxiety and agoraphobia. Vincent Ingram contracted her as his therapist so he can have someone to talk about Traveler issues in private confidence. She was later kidnapped and used as the second host for Traveler 001. Her body was abandoned when 001 switched hosts for the second time.
History[]
Katrina Perrow[]
Dr. Perrow accepted Ingram as a client at an unspecified point in time. She agreed to Ingram's strict conditions: he was to be treated in his home, and Perrow was not permitted to bring any cell phones or electronic devices inside. Perrow believed she was treating Ingram for social anxiety and agoraphobia.
In their initial session Ingram lied to his new psychiatrist, telling her that his late wife and late business partner died of brain aneurysms. He was later able to open up to her and be completely truthful. During a session which lasted much longer than the allotted time, Ingram confessed to being a Traveler who was hiding from the Director.
Perrow listened patiently as Ingram told his story, interjecting on a few occasions to clarify details or express her thoughts. She did not believe Ingram was really a time traveler from the future. She believed her patient was having delusions as a by-product of severe paranoia. She may have suspected him of killing Irene and Oliver, whose deaths Ingram blamed on the Director. At the end of their session, Perrow told Ingram that he needed medication and her therapy was not helping. Ingram persisted, saying that he needed someone to talk to who could guarantee confidentiality. Perrow was visibly shaken after leaving Ingram's house, so much so that she almost drove away without her cellphone or cash payment. (S2E01: Ave Machina)
Sometime later, Perrow contacted Ingram using her personal cellphone rather than the burner he'd provided her. She told Ingram that she was no longer willing to treat him unless he accepted the possibility of taking medication. Ingram angrily refused. Now fearful of her own safety, Perrow ceased all contact with Ingram.
Soon afterwards, Perrow was approached by FBI agent Grant MacLaren. MacLaren told her that Ingram had begun to act on his "delusions." She reluctantly agreed to help what she believed to be an FBI operation to arrest Ingram - in reality an attempt by the Travelers to find his location - and allowed MacLaren to implant her with a comm. Ingram saw through the ruse immediately and kidnapped Perrow, forcibly removing the comm and leaving it at a barn. The doctor was pressured into filming a ransom video for MacLaren and his team, where she instructed the five to provide videos confessing their identities as Travelers. (S2E11: Simon)
Vincent has also kidnapped five people who were all associates of MacLaren's team. Perrow was told to reveal to these people about the existence of Travelers. Fearing for safety as well as her daughter's, who was supervised separately by one of Ingram's men, Perrow was given a list of talking points to force the abductees to confront the discrepancies between what they knew about their person and how that person was behaving now. Once the doctor has done her job though, Vincent used his newly-completed consciousness transfer machine to transfer his own mind - that of Traveler 001 - into Dr. Perrow's body. Thus the original Dr. Perrow was overwritten and Traveler 001 became Dr. Perrow. (S2E12: 001)
Traveler 001[]
In his new body, 001 took Ava and Taylor Ingram to a safe location, accompanied by his henchmen, and began consolidating his assets acquired as Ingram but now legally transferred to Perrow. (S2E12: 001)
Sometime later, 001 saw he was being followed and instructed his driver to step on it, but their vehicle crashed. His Perrow body suffered severe injuries and was taken to Coastal Cross Memorial Hospital, although because he wasn't carrying identification he was listed as a "Jane Doe" in the records. From there he was stealthily transported out of the hospital by the people following him: Dawn and Michelle, two Faction members, who begged for his help financing their missions. Dawn revealed to 001 that his actions in the past effected the survival of Shelter 41, the origin point of the Faction, and that 001 himself ultimately becomes their leader. 001 was angry at having this information revealed to him, against his own orders in the future, but eventually conceded that the Faction was not his enemy.
As a show of good faith Dawn and Michelle allowed 001 to turn on his failsafe tracker that will allow his men to mount a rescue and kill everyone in the way. Dr. Perrow's body suffered a stroke as a result of untreated injuries and was rendered blind during its stay with Dawn and Michelle. 001 abandoned it as a host, after barely stopping his men from killing the Faction. The core Traveler team discovered the corpse in the aftermath of that brief shootout. 001 eventually switched out of the body he used after Perrow, ultimately overwriting Traveler 5416 in Jeff Conniker. (S3E04: Perrow, S3E10: Protocol Omega)
