As soon as 'Severance' Season 2 made its debut, sleuth fans were quick to notice Mr Dummond's presence and flocked to a Reddit thread to speculate about the character. 

A fan said, "His name wasn't mentioned in the first season, but Drummond means ridge, and Riggs means one from the ridge. So a Helena connection is possible, if that was intentional." Another added, "First glance I thought he was the goat tender but I’m assuming he’s a board member."

Another speculated, "Maybe the chairman or viceperson of the Board at Lumon." Meanwhile, one stated, "I was thinking he was like a host of a documentary about severance abuse, maybe propaganda produced by Lumon or like a 60 Minutes type thing."
