Some members of the Oversight Committee

The Oversight Committee is a group whose mission is to investigate the Pattern. Its members remain unidentified, with the exceptions of Phillip Broyles and Nina Sharp, although others are pictured.

During the one meeting shown, Broyles stands in front of a crest with the motto Pro Patria Et Gloria, a Latin phrase which translates to "For Country and Glory". This was the motto of the U.S. 107th Infantry Regiment (National Guard) that served in World War I.

In the second season premiere, Broyles finds himself
