INTP 6w5 Characters

Connor is a genius who invented a time machine, building it himself by using advanced science and technology, and recruiting others of similar interests and obsessions to help him iron out the kinks and make it work. He continues to tinker with it behind the scenes, without ever setting foot in it himself. His theoretical machine made real, he uses it to send agents back and forth through time to stop people who are trying to alter the course of history. Connor is good at keeping the big picture in mind, but also could not foresee the consequences of his grand creation—as Denise says, he told no one about his invention until a “terrorist” stole it for his own personal use. When she suggests destroying the machines once they get them all back, Connor argues that there’s no point, because once the technology exists, someone out there will figure out how to use it sooner or later, and then they will need a lifeboat in which to stop them from doing this over again. He shows low Si in his strong awareness of consequences, based entirely on the results of previous missions. He would not have sent Jiya to the hospital to figure out what was wrong with her, because he already knows; it has happened before, and this sequence of behaviors leads to these consequences (he tells her not to get lost in her head, that he could not bear it, after taking her to see someone who does just that). Connor is not very good with other people and their emotions and is not emotionally demonstrative himself, though he does break down in remorse and sorrow after Rufus’ death.

Enneagram: 6w5

Much like Rufus, Connor believes in playing it safe… but unlike Rufus, he doesn’t like to betray the people who can kill him, or refuse to do their bidding, easily, so he warns his friend/colleague that he cannot just do whatever he wants and not expect Rittenhouse to retaliate. He very much does not want to go in the time machine and assumes he has nothing to contribute when he goes back in time, showing his resistance to actually use the machine he created, and his traumas associated with it and his early experimentation. His 5 wing wants to avoid attachment and involvement with people; he does not want to put himself at risk, go back and forth through time, or be seen as a fool by making a serious mistake, even though he regrets having created the time machine in the first place. (He calls himself “death, destroyer of worlds” in homage to Oppenheimer’s famous line, at one point, and liken his creation to the atomic bomb; something now out of his control.)
