Pierre Fargo was a researcher at Global Dynamics in the 50's and the grandfather of Douglas Fargo. His research was in cellular reconstruction and cryogenics. He disappeared in 1957, leaving behind a letter of resignation and a pregnant girlfriend (Belle St. John). In the Season 4 timeline, Isaac Parrish makes an offhand remark that Douglas Fargo received preferential treatment because of his relation to Pierre. This may suggest that in this timeline, Pierre's achievements had never been credited to anyone else.
