Roger MacKenzie

Roger Wakefield MacKenzie is the adopted son of the Reverend Reginald Wakefield. His birth parents were killed during World War II; his father's plane went down and his mother was killed in the London Blitz. By 1968, he was an Oxford don and one of the youngest professors at the university. His life changes forever on the day that Dr. Claire Randall and her children, Brianna and Jacob, arrive on his doorstep with a research project concerning a group of Highlanders during the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
== Personality ==
Though he grew up in a loving home, raised by his mother's bachelor uncle and his housekeeper, the early loss of both his parents and lack of any other kin well into adulthood effected in Roger a profound longing for family. He is compassionate to a fault, in that a well-meant gesture on his part is sometimes interpreted as overly familiar or inappropriate. Generally good-humored and relaxed, with a mischievous sense of humor, Roger rouses to anger more slowly than his Fraser relatives, though he can reach a fury no less formidable should the situation call for it.
With a background in history, Roger has a scholar's "insatiable, amoral curiosity" which he carries with him when he goes through the stones to the 18th century. He is also passionate about music, particularly Scottish folksongs and Gaelichymns.
== Appearance ==
Roger is a tall man at 6 ft 3 in (190 cm), with a dark complexion, or what Claire would describe as a "Black Celt" – olive-skinned, with thick black hair and lashes. His eyes, inherited from his ancestress Geillis Duncan, are a bright green, often likened to the color of moss, though they are deepset like his MacKenzie ancestors. When Brianna sketches him, she draws a bold nose and a wide, slanted jaw. Roger usually wears his hair long.
