Daniel Keene

Character

Before Times US congressman - the show's counterpart to the books' silo architect.

Updated through S3E1

Ashley Zukerman plays Daniel Keene, a freshman congressman in the "Before Times" (~300 years before the present) whose investigation with journalist Helen Drew pulls him into the conspiracy behind the silos. Season 3 splits its time between his era and Juliette's present.

Where the community lands

Widely read (and largely confirmed by reviews) as the TV version of the books' architect figure: a politician who becomes complicit in building the silo system and later turns against it. (Books) In Howey's trilogy this role is "Donald".
