TV Guide got the scoop that Blackwell is described as a commanding, enigmatic, and powerful witch with many enemies. He’ll claim to be a changed man, determined to protect Cassie (Britt Robertson) and her Circle.
The character’s original name in the L.J. Smith book series on which the show is based was Black John, a former member of the Circle many centuries ago who was killed by his own coven after he began to dabble in dark magic.
