[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcher Wikipedia shows several uses of the term watcher]. Of particular interest is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori Grigori which according to Wikipedia] "are a group of fallen angels told of in Biblical apocrypha who mated with mortal women, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim". Also known as "Watchers" (from Greek egrḗgoroi), the Grigori appear in the books of [[Enochian|Enoch]] and Jubilees".However, this definition does not sync with Gemma's since she she would probably mention it if Watchers are nonhuman. Anyway, deciding Bree is being followed by half-angel giants from the Bible is a bit of a stretch.

[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=108&play=1#comment-15719 Comment #230 to the Man In The Suit video] uses the term "Grigori" before [[Gemma]] posts a video identifying the watcher. Some conclude on this basis that [[The Deacons (commenter)]] are official. This remains a hotly debated topic, with some fans arguing that the "Watcher" idea might have been incorporated after [[The Deacons (commenter)]] posts became popular, and not because [[The Deacons (commenter)]] are part of the production. Gemma did not use the term "[[Grigori]]" in connection with the "Watcher".

Videos with Watchers

Watchers are members of the Order and HoO whose job it is to protect trait positive girls' free will, but there are also rogue Watchers within the Order who are sent to capture trait positive girls. Watchers often wear black suits and sunglasses, and can be identified by a distinctive symbol on their hand.

Gemma's introduction

Watcher symbol.

The Watcher was first seen in the video Exploring The Motel (Nov. 14, 2006) and subsequently in Breakfast In Bed. He was referred to as "the man in the suit" until Gemma noticed a smudge on his hand. After doing some research she realized that the symbol was that of a Watcher. According to Gemma, Watchers "operate a bit like an order of knights, and I don't mean like the Knights of the Round Table. It's confusing, but I think The Watchers are a modern version of them or part of the Order." This description scared Bree and Daniel, who decided to try to flee the Watcher.


True description

Watcher using violence.

After Gemma was exposed as an OpAphid agent<ref>Tachyon videos Gemma? [Part I], [Part II], and [Part III]</ref>, the credibility of the information she provided on Watchers was called into question. For a long time, the truth about Watchers remained unclear. However, in a daring move to help save her nephew, Alex double-crossed the Order and explained the true nature of Watchers. According to her, "a Watcher is a part of a 20-member team whose only mission is to protect girls like Bree. They have no knowledge whatsoever of the Ceremony, they've never even heard of it. They're members of the Hymn of One and they don't know anything about the Order, its intentions, its makeup; they don't even know the Order exists. Be that as it may, Watchers will absolutely use violence if violence is used first, and if that's the case, watch out! These guys make Marine Corps look like Quakers."
