He is the dark shadow in Wash's life. The spiritual and literal manifestation of a system that views Wash, and his genius, as a threat to be contained by any means. And it is only a matter of time before Wash's light and Willard's darkness smash together with heavy consequences for all.
  • Mwine will play Gaius, a man with a foot in two worlds, that of the oppressor and the oppressed.

  • Rhind-Tutt will play Erasmus Wilde, the iron-handed master of Faith Plantation in Barbados, where Washington Black begins life in bondage before flying to freedom. A man filled with dark complexities and deep conflict, Erasmus' internal struggles fuel a bitterness that burns all he touches, especially those under his power at Faith. Much like his brother Titch (Tom Ellis), Erasmus is fighting to escape the legacy of abandonment and Empire before it all dooms his soul.
