Master Raymond will be back inOutlanderseason 8, and this could be Starz’s last chance to solve a 31-year-old mystery from the books. This magical character, played by actor Dominique Pinon inOutlander, served as a mysterious force in season 2, making his return in season 7 all the more intriguing. It was unclear in the most recent batch of episodes whether Master Raymond would ever be seen again in the Starz series, but Pinon himself has since provided an answer. According to the actor, he will reprise his role inOutlanderseason 8.
Pinon has teased thatMaster Raymondwill make another mysterious appearance inOutlanderseason 8 (viaTélé-Loisirs). However, he went on to note thatthis will not be with Caitriona Balfe’s Claire Fraser. So, while it seems we have truly seen the last of Claire’s interactions with Master Raymond, someone else will be at the center of his mysterious goings-on. This could be just about anyone inOutlanderseason 8. However, if Master Raymond were to introduce himself to Brianna MacKenzie, it could provide the answer to a long-running mystery.
Master Raymond Could Appear Before Brianna In Outlander Season 8
Brianna Has An Unresolved Story That Master Raymond Could Help With
Pinon’s statement about Master Raymond’s return implies that this will be a single appearance with one additional character in season 8. We can safely assume that whoever this mysterious man appears before will be a time-traveling character, which limits the options. Perhaps we will get a flashback scene to see precisely how Master Raymond revived Faith Fraser, but that doesn’t quite seem to fit with Pinon’s tease. Instead, we can guess that Raymond will present himself to someone who could use some guidance in the same way that Claire did in seasons 2 and 7.
As Claire’s daughter,Brianna seems like a prime possibility. This character is all set to return toJamie and Claire’s time inOutlanderseason 8, and this could very well be her last trip through the stones. However, Brianna is in desperate need of further development before the conclusion ofOutlander. The series had presented her as a sort of child of destiny, but it hasn’t deliveredin this regard.Outlanderis running out of time to pay off Brianna’s story, and Master Raymond could be the perfect character to appear and point out what her final purpose will be to the overarching adventure.
Outlander is running out of time to pay off Brianna’s story, and Master Raymond could be the perfect character to appear and point out what her final purpose will be to the overarching adventure.
According to theOutlanderbooks, Master Raymond is a time traveler from around 500 BC, and is likely an ancestor to Claire and Brianna. His goal is currently unknown, but it seems to have something to do with guiding other time travelers toward a specific destiny. He has aided Claire and seemingly set her on a journey to discover the truth about Faith Fraser. Now, it’s Brianna’s turn to get some guidance, andthis would preferably link to a specific story regarding her character that theOutlanderbooks and TV show have yet to resolve.
Master Raymond Could Bring The Answer To Brianna’s Fraser Prophecy Mystery
Master Raymond Will Surely Know The Truth
Brianna is the center of a prophecy in both theOutlanderbooksand TV show. Precisely what this prophecy says is drastically different from one to the other, however. In Diana Gabaldon’s novel,Voyager, it’s revealed that the next Scottish king would come from the Frasers of Lovat—Jamie’s paternal grandfather’s line. This book was published 31 years ago, and the story remains unresolved to this day. However, the characters ofOutlandercome to believe that this prophecy somehow points to Brianna.
TheOutlanderTV show adapted this story, but it made a significant change to the prophecy. Instead of the Scottish king coming from the line of Lovat,it was indicated that this royal heir would only be revealed following the death of a 200-year-old baby. Geillis Duncan came to believe that this referred to Brianna, which is why she aimed to murder her back inOutlanderseason 3. Thankfully, Claire stopped her, but this is the last we have heard of this prophecy. Surely, there must be more to it, right?
The man is like a puppet master in Outlander, twisting and pulling on time travelers to ensure that they are in the right place at the right time.
If Brianna truly does have something to do with theFraser prophecy, then Master Raymond would surely know about it. The man is like a puppet master inOutlander, twisting and pulling on time travelers to ensure that they are in the right place at the right time. If there’s any hope thatOutlanderseason 8 will bring answers regarding this big mystery, then Master Raymond’s appearance before Brianna in the coming episodes could be the time to make it happen. Of course, only time will tell.
