The prequel series to Outlander, titled Blood of My Blood, will introduce audiences to a young Jocasta Cameron (portrayed by Sadhbh Malin), delving into her backstory.
Jocasta's life was marked by tragedy. She initially resided with her siblings at Castle Leoch, including Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Colum MacKenzie (Gary Lewis) and Ellen MacKenzie.
Like her sister Ellen, Jocasta was a talented artist, but later in life, she lost her sight due to glaucoma.
However, Jocasta's life was marred by multiple tragedies, including becoming a widow on several occasions.
Jocasta Cameron's tragic marriages in Outlander
In Outlander, Jocasta had four marriages, with her first three husbands passing away. She was wedded to John Cameron of Erracht, Hugh Cameron of Aberfeldy and Hector Mor Cameron of Loch Eilean, reports the .
From her first marriage to John, Jocasta had a daughter named Clementina Cameron. However, their joy was short-lived as John succumbed to the flux.
Clementina later married and had two children, but her husband died before the Battle of Culloden. The rest of the family tragically perished after the Rising in 1746.
Jocasta's second husband, Hugh, was the cousin of her first husband John, and they had a daughter named Seonag.
Hugh met his end during a hunting trip, and Seonag, who later married and had a daughter, also tragically died in the brutal aftermath of the Battle of Culloden.
Seonag's husband, Master of Garth, fell on the battlefield of Culloden.
Jocasta's third marriage was to Hector, with whom she had a daughter named Morna. Their escape from Scotland following Culloden was interrupted by the English on their way to the coast.
During this encounter, Hector tragically shot their daughter Morna, an incident for which Jocasta could never forgive him.
Despite the tragedy, Hector and Jocasta made it to the New World, where he lived until the age of 73 before succumbing to a severe sore throat.
Jocasta's fourth and final marriage was to Duncan Innes. The couple left her River Run estate in the New World and relocated to Canada for a fresh start.
Jocasta Cameron's relationship with Ulysses
After the death of her third husband Hector, Jocasta managed the River Run estate on her own.
She was assisted by her butler, Ulysses, with whom she shared a close bond.
There were even rumours that Ulysses murdered Jocasta, although this was never confirmed.
It was suggested that Jocasta and Ulysses were romantically involved even before Hector's demise.
In a significant gesture, she provided Ulysses with papers allowing him to leave at any time, indicating that Ulysses chose to stay with her of his own volition.
