Maj. Garland Briggs
Twin Peaks | Character
Major Garland Briggs (Don S. Davis) is a United States Air Force officer whose area of expertise appears to be paranormal activity, particularly Project Blue Book. He is the father of Bobby, whose wild antics and disrespectful attitude are a cause of great friction between them. His work with the government is highly classified, hidden even from his family.
His greatest fear, which he claimed was revealed under torture, is “the possibility that love is not enough.” He is abducted at one point, possibly to the White Lodge, and told by the Log Lady to deliver a message to Special Agent Dale Cooper. In the second season, Major Briggs and Bobby find some common ground and begin to connect.

In between the events of the original series and the revival, Major Briggs creates a dossier that is depicted in the novel The Secret History of Twin Peaks. During the revival, Bobby states that he died in a station fire, while the Air Force learns that his fingerprints have been appearing at crime scenes. A headless corpse with his prints is later found by the Buckhorn Police Department in South Dakota, although Air Force Lieutenant Cynthia Knox discovers that the corpse is too young to be Briggs. Briggs himself appears before Cooper as a floating head.
Briggs lives on as a floating head in the realm of The Fireman.
