"My son. From the moment I first saw you, I believed that God had given me a rare second chance."- Jamie Fraser
Ever since the dramatic reveal of Jamie Fraser's secret son, fans have been on the edge of their seats, eager to see how this bombshell would unfold. Enter William Ransom, a character shrouded in mystery and intrigue, who is set to play a pivotal role in the latest season of Outlander.
William's story is nothing short of a rollercoaster. Conceived during Jamie's tumultuous separation from Claire, William was the result of a coerced encounter between Jamie and Geneva Dunsany. Geneva, on the brink of marrying the much older Earl of Ellesmere, blackmailed Jamie into taking her virginity, resulting in William's birth. Tragically, Geneva died during childbirth, leaving William's paternity a well-guarded secret.
