The Wanderer, also known as Bo's Father, was the name of a character that appeared in the Lost Girl television series. At the time of the third season, the actor playing the role was not revealed. During the latter half of the Third Season, the character was referenced many times, mainly in connection with a Tarot card of The Wanderer, or the song The Wanderer as performed by Dion. He made only one actual appearance in that season which occurred in the season finale Those Who Wander. In that episode, Tamsin called him Bo's father, and Aife gave some indications of the powers that he has. However, all of the information given is vague and cannot be confirmed, nor was a clear image of his features shown.
At the end of the Third Season finale, he had encountered Tamsin and Dyson, which resulted in their driving over a cliff, the ultimate fate unknown. He also trapped Bo, his daughter, in the Dal Riata and then, using his powers, kidnapped her. After Bo's disappearance, the Wanderer card, which is his calling card, was transformed to show both an image of himself and Bo standing with him, there backs turned to the viewer of the card.
He is expected to return in the fourth season in connection with The Wanderer plot arc.
Character History
The history of The Wanderer is unclear and contains many assumptions and questions. Who he is, what kind of Fae he is, his allegiance, age, parents and other vital information is not known. Additionally, his name is also not known or spoken of. It can be assumed however that Aife, his wife would know his name, but she has not revealed it by the end of the Third Season.
At some point in the past, Aife became his wife. However, it is entirely possible that he is the Dark Fae that Aife referred to as holding her captive and torturing her.[1] This brings up the question of Bo's birth as from what Aife has said, she did not love Bo's father and store Bo away from him. It is possible that he planned for Bo's birth and her gaining her powers as a longer term plan to become the ruler of the Fae, with Aife and Bo at his side, assisting him to rule.
As much as this seemed to match with Aife's statements, according to the memories that Bo saw during her Dawning, he seemed to care for Bo to some extent.[2] telling her guardian that should Bo need anything to call him and as well being seen in Bo's memories singing to her. Whether this was Bo's real memories or fantasy is not clear and does bring to question however Aife's statements about how she was treated.
His history however remains unclear save for some recent events. Tamsin was hired by him to locate Bo and return her. She found Bo but then found she did not wish to complete her mission as she was well aware of what happened to those that were taken to The Wanderer.[3] At this refusal, Tamsin was visited by Acacia, a friend and mentor of her who reminded her of the mission she needed to complete. When Tamsin refused again, Acacia was killed and her hand delivered to Tamsin as a warning. When Tamsin attempted to complete her mission in the season finale Those Who Wander, Bo convinced her to go against The Wanderer's wishes. This eventually ended with Tamsin and Dyson being forced off a road and over a cliff when they encountered him, Tamsin revealing to Dyson that he was Bo's Father moments before the crash occurred.
At the end of Those Who Wander, Bo was cornered by him in the Dal Riata where he first trapped her, then taunted her with one of the tarot cards, before causing the windows and other glass items in the Dal Riata to shatter. Following this, he created a black fog which surrounded Bo and transported her away from the Dal Riata to places unknown. The only evidence being left behind was the shattered glass on the floor of the Dal Riata and a single tarot card, which showed a modified image of the Wanderer with a silhouette of Bo standing beside him.
He was referred to in several episodes prior to the episode Those Who Wander. His first mention came in the episode Fae-ge Against The Machine where the Wanderer tarot card appeared several times. One when Bo was told to pick a card and chose the Wanderer card. The next when the deck was turned over and all of the cards were seen to be Wanderer cards as well. The final time being a shower of Wanderer cards that surrounded Tamsin reminding her of the mission she had been on for some time.
The next appearance was in The Ceremony. The first hint of his existence was when the song the Wanderer was played to Bo and Dyson when they first arrived in the Temple for Bo's Dawning. During this, Bo witnessed her father holding her in his arms and singing a song to her.[4] His face is never seen, but his voice is and he seems to care about Bo greatly in the vision that is seen. After his departure, Aife is shown killing Bo's guardian and then stealing Bo away saying that he would never have Bo as well.
