Overview[]

Donner is an unseen character that is the driving motivational force behind the actions of Mathis and the Convicts in Episode 4: Fury, Then Silence.

History[]

Episode 4[]

First mentioned by Vachon and Heller, Donner is a prisoner locked in the solitary isolation wing of the Blackrock Penitentiary Prison located on Great Bear Island. Evil to the core, Donner is described as being a chip off the old block and then some compared to his father, Mathis. He is currently serving a life sentence in Blackrock, as there is no "going back to regular society" for a man such as Donner.

Mathis cares deeply for his son and is willing to do anything to free him, going so far to beat the prison Warden Franklin to death to acquire information on how to open Solitary and forcing Will Mackenzie to risk his life in the hostile wilderness in order to acquire old mining detonators to blast open the wing of Donner's cell. Simply hearing Franklin utter Donner's name was also enough to cause Mathis' mood to instantly sour as he begin savagely beating Franklin.

Due to the combined actions of Will Mackenzie and Jace, an explosion destroyed Blackrock Prison and unintentionally freed Donner. He is last mentioned by Heller at the Power Plant to be critically wounded but alive, and needs immediate medical attention.

Donner may make an appearance in Episode 5, though this is yet unconfirmed.

Trivia[]

Despite not physically appearing in Episode 4, Donner has his own What I Know page, a feat that not even Vachon nor Heller are privy to.
