The Watcher is a unique Eridian Guardian, only seen in cut-scenes.
Background
Next to nothing is known about this being, even to the extent where "The Watcher" is only a title. It has demonstrated a telekinetic ability and knowledge of future events. The being has appeared to certain individuals often forewarning them of danger, although its motives for helping remain unknown.
As the Siren Nyriad slaughtered the Eridians and sealed away The Destroyer she noted that one Guardian simple stood and watched. This was The Watcher.
Sometime after the Dahl Corporation started mining Elpis, the guardian appeared before Colonel Zarpedon to warn her of Hyperion and Jack.
Involvement
Watcher first appears on Helios when Jack and the Vault Hunters attempt to escape by ship. When Jack tries to shoot at Zarpedon, Watcher blocks his attacks telekinetically before mocking him. The entity is not seen again until the very end of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel when it saves Athena from being executed by Lilith and the Crimson Raiders. Afterwards it warns all the vault hunters of an imminent war for which they will need to recruit as many vault hunters as they can, foreshadowing the events of Borderlands 3
