When Jamie and Claire meet Fergus in France, the boy steals in Paris’ streets to survive and sleeps in a brothel where he has a complicated life. For him, the arrival of the Frasers was a positive change, but although they offered him a better life, his past will always be with him.

6 The Sadness of Disability

Although Fergus is a very happy and positive person, his life is not exactly simple. In the past, he lived through painful experiences and in the present, he cannot free himself from some of them. It is difficult for him to get a job and this depresses him, because he cannot provide for his family.

César Domboy knows how to react to discriminatory comments, with small gestures that show how he really feels. Despite the sadness, there is also joy when he accomplishes something by himself and when he knows that others trust him.

5 How He Views Women & Family

Fergus lived all his childhood in a brothel. It was normal for him to see naked women while helping them brush their hair. Since he was a child, he had the ability to impress women with his attractiveness and natural charm and as an adult, he continues to do so.

Despite Fergus’ knowledge of women, César Domboy understood that his character, in fact, had not been with many women. Besides, for him, the most important thing is Marsali’s happiness and after marrying her, he only thinks about his family.

4 His Love for Marsali

Simply put, César Domboy and Lauren Lyle have great chemistry. They know how to play a young couple struggling to secure a position in society. But above all, they accurately portray the love they feel.

3 That Natural Charm

Fergus is an attractive young man with abundant dark hair and a noble French appearance. Besides, he has a particular charm that makes him stand out among other men. In the books, Claire claims that Fergus has become a very attractive and charming man, after 20 years without seeing him.

César Domboy successfully adds a sensitive and romantic aura to Fergus, which is part of the character’s personal charm. His attraction is intensified by the smile and gentlemanly behavior, which makes this character one of the favorites.

2 The Happiness of Helping

Fergus was alone a big part of his life, so he learned to fend for himself from a young age. For this reason, he is not afraid of work, but shows a longing to belong. This fact allows him to have a helpful personality.

Domboy reflects on screen Fergus’ joy when Jamie relies on him for a job. For Jamie and Claire, he would do anything, but also as a member of the Fraser clan he is willing to help anyone in need in his community.

1 Aristocratic Gestures

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.
