Charles Vandervaart joins Outlander series Season 7 in the role of ‘William Ransom,’ the secret son of Jamie Fraser.
Who is William Ransom?
Raised by his stepfather, Lord John Grey, William is the ninth Earl of Ellesmere. In season seven, William arrives in Wilmington full of patriotic zeal and enthusiasm to join the British Army and help put an end to the escalating tensions in the American Colonies.
As fans may remember from season three, William is actually the biological son of Jamie Fraser, though he does not know the truth of his parentage. On the surface, William Ransom is a courteous aristocrat but simmering under the surface is a Highlander’s fire.
