French businessman and merchant The Comte St. Germain (Stanley Weber) is revealed to be Fergus' father. Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe) encountered the Comte in season two when she and JamieJames "Jamie" Fraser is a fictional character in the Outlander series of multi-genre novels by American author Diana Gabaldon, and its television adaptation. In the series, married World War II nurse Claire Randall is visiting Scotland when she is transported through time from 1945 back to 1743.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Jamie_Fraser...
Well, Fergus is believed to be the son of the comte and Amelie Beauchamp.
In the 18th century, Claire winds up married to James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser, of Clan Fraser of Lovat. They have several children: Faith, who doesn't survive birth; an adopted son named Fergus; and a daughter, Brianna.
Later, after Claire has returned to the Ridge, she is confessor to Allan Christie, who explains that he was the one that fathered Malva's child, and then murdered her.
Although he may be an adoptive son, Jamie and Claire see Fergus almost as one of their own children. This became particularly clear in season six when the couple showed him some tough love in the face of his alcoholism and the way he'd been treating his wife Marsali (Lauren Lyle).
Marsali was born in 1751 and in the third novel Voyager, she is 15 years old with Jamie and her mother Laoghaire tying the knot the year before in 1765. In comparison, her husband Fergus is double her age at 30 years old with Jamie unsure about the union between them.
He may never have called Jamie “Dad,” but Jamie has been the only father figure he's ever known. He's always looked up to Jamie, and this moment shows that Jamie continues to respect Fergus and call him family.
In early 1779, pregnant Marsali, Fergus and their daughters Joan and Félicité settle in Wilmington. Their eldest son, Germain, returns to Fraser's Ridge with his grandparents, Jamie and Claire, as Fergus and Marsali think that it is dangerous for a boy Germain's age to live in a large city in time of war.
Throughout season five, Marsali and Ferus had extended their family as Marsali had been pregnant a number of times. However, by the 11th episode, she was heavily pregnant with her fourth child, a son who she eventually gave birth to in the most recent episode of the series.
For now, though, it appears both Fergus and Marsali aren't time travellers with actors Lyle and Domboy addressing this in an Instagram live Q&A from earlier this year.
Marsali however took to each trial courageously and saw a future away from Fraser's Ridge. In the fifth episode, she decided it was best to move her family to New Bern for a fresh start and to keep Fergus far from its negativity.
In the TV show, it's pretty clear that Fergus and Marsali don't know that Claire is a time traveler. At least, by Outlander Season 5, Marsali doesn't know.
Henri-Christian is born as the fourth child of Fergus and Marsali. He is a dwarf and some of the residents of Fraser's Ridge believe he is a punishment for his parents' sins. Henri-Christian is placed in a basket and put into a stream by some boys. Roger saves him and baptized him.
There are times that the show adds in storylines that are completely made up for the series. Then there are times that they seem made up, but they do actually have a basis in the book storyline. During Outlander Season 6, Episode 5, we saw Malva cutting the fingers of the dead Sin Eater off.
Fergus is 17 years older than Ian and 15 years older than Marsali.
Jamie denies having slept with her, but the damage to his and to Claire's reputation is done—and the bond between the Frasers and Malva is severed, until just a few weeks later, when Claire finds Malva murdered in the garden. “It's like the peak of the tragedy, and it's so visceral.
The haircutting was part of the process. Malva wanted to make Claire undesirable. She wanted to make Jamie turn to her instead of to his wife. We can get a sense of that from the way Claire worried about Jamie seeing her with the short, jagged hair.
Claire knows that she didn't have the same thing, but she can't get to the bottom of the cause. It's Tom who eventually finds out. Malva, before her death, tells him that she made them sick. She'd collected parts of the dead Sin Eater and poisoned Claire and Tom.
In spring 1767, Fergus and Marsali marry in the West Indies and Jamie gives Fergus his own last name, thus formalizing their relationship as father and adopted son.
As a time traveler, he has lived during the 1630s and possibly other eras. He first attempts to travel forward beyond his own projected lifetime in 1778, with the help of Master Raymond.
Fergus or Feargus is a common Scottish or Irish male given name derived from Scots Gaelic, meaning the strong (one) or the masculine (one).
We do get to see a conversation between the two of them play out, with Marsali explaining that Fergus is being rough at times and leaves marks but that he isn't abusive.
The mysterious Master Raymond is a "prehistoric time traveler." Not much is known about him, but he is thought to be a common ancestor of both Claire Fraser and Geillis Duncan.
Fergus spent his childhood in France, and then, lived in Scotland until he was an adult. Although he became one of the Fraser clan, he still maintained his French behavior.
Surprise! Jamie also has two step-daughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie. They became his step-daughters when he married their mother, Laoghaire MacKenzie. If that name sounds familiar, it's because Laoghaire is the same woman who orchestrates Claire being put on trial for witchcraft.
