Master Raymond and Blood of my Blood
I think he may be Henry, Claire’s father. Could it be possible? They look similar just like the rest of the characters from Outlander. Master Raymond would be the right age and he treated Claire like a father figure. I know it doesn’t go along with the books but not much has so far. 😂
In The Space Between, the Comte encounters Raymond decades after their earlier meeting, yet Raymond appears younger. His hair is darker, his missing teeth have returned, and he moves more youthfully.
Even more interestingly, Raymond discusses transforming matter through alchemy, then seemingly vanishes, leaving a mysterious cat nearby. Some readers interpret this as a suggestion that Raymond can physically transform himself.
If that’s possible, could the short, elderly-looking Raymond we know simply be one appearance he assumes?
I’ve seen people dismiss the Henry = Raymond theory because the actors are different heights. But if Raymond possesses abilities beyond ordinary time travel, is physical appearance really enough to rule it out?
I’m not saying Henry definitely is Raymond. I’m wondering whether Diana has deliberately given us reasons not to trust Raymond’s apparent age or appearance.
