Scott Perry, made into the fourth (fourth!) paragraph of this story at the NYTimes. His name comes up sooner than all the others in the Seditious Six.
The story starts with a vignette about (as The Times called him) "Richard P. Donoghue, a top Justice Department official in the waning days of the Trump administration" who saw an unknown number on his Caller ID:
Mr. Trump had been handing out Mr. Donoghue’s cellphone number so that people could pass on rumors of election fraud. Who could be calling him now?
It turned out to be a member of Congress: Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania, who began pressing the president’s case. Mr. Perry said he had compiled a dossier of voter fraud allegations that the department needed to vet. Jeffrey Clark, a Justice Department lawyer who had found favor with Mr. Trump, could “do something” about the president’s claims, Mr. Perry said, even if others in the department would not.
The message was delivered by an obscure lawmaker who was doing Mr. Trump’s bidding. Justice Department officials viewed it as outrageous political pressure from a White House that had become consumed by conspiracy theories.
It was also one example of how a half-dozen right-wing members of Congress became key foot soldiers in Mr. Trump’s effort to overturn the election, according to dozens of interviews and a review of hundreds of pages of congressional testimony about the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6.

There's more:
Mr. Perry, a former Army helicopter pilot who is close to Mr. Jordan and Mr. Meadows, acted as a de facto sergeant. He coordinated many of the efforts to keep Mr. Trump in office, including a plan to replace the acting attorney general with a more compliant official. His colleagues call him General Perry.
Perhaps because he retired from the Army as a Brigadier General.
And then:
On Nov. 9, two days after The Associated Press called the race for Mr. Biden, crisis meetings were underway at Trump campaign headquarters in Arlington, Va.
Mr. Perry and Mr. Jordan huddled with senior White House officials, including Mr. Meadows; Stephen Miller, a top Trump adviser; Bill Stepien, the campaign manager; and Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary.
According to two people familiar with the meetings, which have not been previously reported, the group settled on a strategy that would become a blueprint for Mr. Trump’s supporters in Congress: Hammer home the idea that the election was tainted, announce legal actions being taken by the campaign, and bolster the case with allegations of fraud.
And Scott Perry was there at the start of it all - barely a week after the 2020 election.
What else do we know about Scott Perry?
Well, he was named by Donald Trump in that (by now infamous) DOJ phone call.
PA State Senator Doug Mastriano was also named in that call, as we all know by now.
Did you know they both studied at the US Army War College?
Mastriano graduated with a Master's in Strategic Studies in 2010 and Perry also graduated with a Master's in Strategic Studies but in 2012.
In fact, Mastriano's bio states:
He completed his career as a Professor of the U.S. Army War College (PAWC), Carlisle, PA, and taught Strategic Studies at the Master Degree level to the next generation of senior leaders.
Wait. So was Scott Perry one of his Doug Mastriano's students? Am I reading this right?
Small world, huh?
When will Scott Perry (and Doug Mastriano) be subpoenaed to testify before Congress?
