Brother Campbell is the leader of the Eddington Monastery in Scotland. Campbell offered work for a distraught Desmond (who briefly attended this monastery in "Catch-22"). However, one night Campbell discovered Desmond drunk on the wine the monastery makes and as a result, he fired him. He gave Desmond one last job -- to load wine into Penny's car, introducing them to each other.
Interestingly, Campbell's desk has a framed photograph of himself with Daniel Faraday's mother, Eloise Hawking outside the monastery.
