The Outlander character had a tragic life
Outlander’s prequel series Blood of My Blood will feature a young version of Jocasta Cameron (played by Sadhbh Malin) with audiences getting to see her backstory play out in the drama.
Jocasta had a tragic life and initially lived with her siblings at Castle Leoch, including Dougal MacKenzie (Graham McTavish), Colum MacKenzie (Gary Lewis) and Ellen MacKenzie.
Much like her sister Ellen, Jocasta was also a skilled artist but later in life she lost her sight after suffering from glaucoma.
Jocasta Cameron’s tragic marriages in Outlander
However, Jocasta faced much tragedy in her life and became a widow several times over.
In Outlander, Jocasta was married four times with her first three spouses dying. She was married to John Cameron of Erracht, Hugh Cameron of Aberfeldy and Hector Mor Cameron of Loch Eilean.
From her first marriage to John, Jocasta gave birth to daughter Clementina Cameron. But their happiness was short-lived when John died of the flux.
Clementina went onto marry and have two children, but her own husband died prior to the Battle of Culloden. The rest of the family perished after the Rising in 1746.
Jocasta’s second husband Hugh was the cousin of her first spouse John and the couple had a daughter called Seonag.
Hugh died during a hunting trip and Seonag, who later married and had her own daughter, also passed away in the brutal aftermath of the Battle of Culloden.
Seonag’s husband Master of Garth lost his life on the battlefield of Culloden.
Jocasta’s third marriage saw her marry Hector with the pair having a daughter called Morna. During their flight from Scotland after Culloden, the family was stopped by the English on their way to the coast.
During this intervention by the English, Hector accidentally shot dead their daughter Morna with Jocasta never being able to forgive him.
Hector and Jocasta made it to the New World and he would live to the ripe old age of 73 before dying from a morbid sore throat.
Jocasta’s fourth and final marriage saw her wed to Duncan Innes with the pair leaving behind her estate of River Run in the New World and heading to Canada to make a fresh start.
Jocasta Cameron’s relationship with Ulysses
Following the death of her third husband Hector, Jocasta was running the River Run estate alone.
However, she was aided by her butler, Ulysses with the pair having a close bond.
It was even suspected Ulysses killed for Jocasta, although it couldn’t be proven.
Jocasta and Ulysses were said to be romantically involved even before Hector’s death.
She even provided her butler with papers allowing him to leave at any time, proving Ulysses wasn’t bound to her but remained of his own free will.
