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.
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.
Marsali and Fergus tied the knot in Season 3, Episode 11 of Outlander, during a cruise to the Caribbean. They welcomed their first kid, Germain, soon after the wedding. Their second, a daughter named Joan, followed shortly after.
Fergus is 17 years older than Ian and 15 years older than Marsali.
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.
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.
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.
Well, Fergus is believed to be the son of the comte and Amelie Beauchamp.
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.
Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.
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.
After the dust has settled, and with assistance from Ned Gowan, Jamie's marriage to Laoghaire is declared invalid – as Claire was clearly still alive – and he agrees to pay her a yearly fee and provide a dowry for each of her two daughters.
Dwarfism is a genetic mutation. Sometimes it's in the sperm and sometimes it's in the egg. Nobody really knows why this genetic mutation happens (and why it doesn't happen in every child from the same couple), but it's got nothing to do with what happened to Marsali.
Who is Henri-Christian in 'Outlander'? At the end of Outlander Season 5, Marsali was pregnant with her and Fergus' fourth child. Their first, Germain, was born in season 4. And their second and third children, daughters Joan and Felicite, were born in season 5.
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).
We learn that Fergus (Romann Berrux) is not getting drunk and beating Marsali.
Sadly, the long ginger curls of Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) are not real. Heughan wears mostly extensions and wigs to become Jamie Fraser in the series. Throughout the show's six-year history, Jamie has been seen with his hair curled, plaited and even had a fringe in season four.
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).
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.
The young Malva then later claimed Jamie was the father of her baby, and was eventually found dead in the Fraser's vegetable patch. In a particularly harrowing scene, Claire tries to save the unborn baby but is tragically unable to.
This is dysentery. Claire tells everyone that a contaminated water source most likely caused it, but after funeral upon funeral — the body count is high! — no one can seem to figure it out. And then Claire falls ill.
Director Brendan Maher told Vulture that while both Menzies and Heughan had stunt doubles for the physically demanding sequence, neither used them much. “We had people for safety, just in case, but the nature of the work is that you want the actors to do as much as they possibly can,” Maher said.
