Biography[]
John Mosley was wanted for a double homicide in Seattle, Washington. When he heard that a Beacon had arrived in New York, Mosley arrived at the home of Colonel Henry Jacobson to track it. Equipped with an energy gun, he stunned him unconscious. Next, he used a device with which he apparently is able to read Jacobson's mind. It involved putting electrodes in Jacobson’s nose and shocking him. Mosley eventually learned that the Beacon was in Dr. Walter Bishop's lab at Harvard, he then kills Jacobson.
Arriving at the lab, Mosley abducts Walter’s son, Peter, and by hooking him up to the same device, he is able to find out where Walter had hidden the Beacon. It was in the grave of Walter's father, Robert, even though Peter himself is unaware of this. When they arrived at the cemetery, Mosley had Peter dig up the grave, and was finally able to get his hands on the Beacon. Before he was able to do anything more, Agent Olivia Dunham arrived, Mosley attempted to escape but is shot dead by her. The Beacon then went back into the ground.
