The Fraser family continues to get bigger inOutlander. Since the series began, more characters have married or been born into this Scottish clan, while others have been explored through flashbacks and further time travel. This has allowed for a rather broad look at Jamie Fraser’s family, extending the lore of this fantasy time-travel TV series. It’s because of this that, withOutlander’s ending drawing near, a spinoff likeOutlander: Blood of My Bloodhas become possible.
Outlanderseason 7, part 2, sees Roger MacKenzie travel further back in time than Claire or Brianna ever have, and hehas begun to run into some of the older members of Jamie Fraser’s family. Of course, he has also come face to face with a handful of his own ancestors, and these MacKenzie interactions are key in Roger’s ownOutlanderstory in the show’s final seasons. Still, the appearance of people like Brian Fraser holds some weight as well, especially since this and another character withinJamie’s final tree will be the primary focus ofBlood of My Bloodand are, therefore, worth knowing.
15Simon Fraser
Grandfather Of Jamie Fraser
The oldest Fraser to appear inOutlanderis Jamie’s grandfather, Simon Fraser, the 11th Lord of Lovet, AKA “The Old Fox.” Simon was a pretty nasty figure, very different from Jamie’s father or Jamie himself. Simon appeared inOutlanderseason 2 when it was revealed that he was financially benefitting from both sides of the Jacobite rebellion.
The Old Fox was married twice and had several mistresses, resulting in seven children (at least).One of his bastard sons was, of course, Brian, whom he never saw eye-to-eye with—a fact that extended to Brian’s son Jamie.
14Brian Fraser
Father Of Jamie Fraser & Jenny Murray
Brian Fraser, son of Simon and father of Jenny and Jamie, was the Laird Broch Tuarach of Lallybroch. He was a devoted father and husband, whom Jamie remembered as tough and stubborn but loving and fair.Brian was deeply in love with his wife, Ellen MacKenzie Fraser, who preceded him in death.
Brian Fraser is played by Andrew Whipp inOutlanderand Jamie Roy inOutlander: Blood of My Blood.
Brian died shortly before Claire met Jamie after he believed his son to have been killed by Black Jack Randall and, therefore, suffered an attack. However, this character is introduced inOutlanderthrough flashbacks and in season 7, when Roger goes back in time and meets Brian in person.
13Ellen MacKenzie Fraser
Mother Of Jamie Fraser & Jenny Murray
Ellen MacKenzie Fraser, Brian Fraser’s wife and mother to Willie, Jenny, and Jamie, is a woman everyone remembers fondly inOutlander.Just about anyone who met her fell in love with her, including Murtagh Fitzgibbons, Brian’s second cousin.

Ellen grew up at Castle Leoch with her siblings, Colum, Dougal, Janet, Flora, and Jocasta, three of which have been featured inOutlander. Since Roger MacKenzie is a descendant of Ellen’s brother Dougal, this shared ancestor technically makes him and Brianna very distant cousins as well.
