The following is a list of characters from Diana Gabaldon's ''Outlander'' series, beginning with the 1991 novel ''Outlander''. The story focuses on 20th century nurse Claire Randall, who time travels to 18th century Scotland and finds adventure and romance with the dashing James Fraser. A mix of several genres, the series features elements of historical fiction, romance, adventure, mystery and science fiction/fantasy. In August 2014 the US-based cable channel Starz debuted an TV series adaptation based on the novels. ==Main characters== Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser—A warm, practical and independent nurse in World War II who finds herself in the Scottish Highlands in the mid-18th century. In the 20th century she is married to Frank Randall, but in the 18th century she marries Jamie Fraser. Claire is a gifted natural physician and an amateur botanist, and is almost killed in the 18th century because she is accused of being a witch. Claire is an only child whose parents died when she was very young; she was raised by her Uncle Lambert Beauchamp, an archaeologist who took her all over the world. Caitriona Balfe plays Claire in the television series. James "Jamie" MacKenzie Fraser (aka Jamie MacTavish)—Claire's husband in the 18th century is a strapping young Scottish redhead with a complicated past and a disarming sense of humor. Jamie is intelligent, principled, and, by 18th century standards, educated and worldly. He picks up languages very well. He has one sister, Jenny, and used to have an older brother, Willie, who died as a child. Willie's death left Jamie in line to be Laird of Broch Turach, the Fraser home. In addition to them he had another brother who died in childbirth along with his mother. He is best friends with Ian Murray, son of his father's factor and eventually his sister Jenny's husband. He loves Claire to the ends of the earth. He doesn't always know what Claire is doing, but usually trusts her to know what to do. He has less use of his right hand because of an incident that severely injured it. His back is horribly scarred from flogging. Sam Heughan plays Jamie in the television series. Frank Randall—Claire's husband in the 20th century is a history professor with a deep interest in his genealogy and heritage. He worked for MI-6 during World War II. He is played by Tobias Menzies. Jonathan Randall (aka Black Jack Randall)—The primary villain of the story is Frank Randall's ancestor, a British army officer. According to Jamie Fraser the “Black” refers to the colour of his soul.

Colum MacKenzie—The Laird of the MacKenzie clan, Jamie's maternal uncle, shelters Jamie and Claire from the English. He suffers from Toulouse-Lautrec Syndrome.

He is the biological father of Colum's son, Hamish, and takes Jamie as a foster son for a year as a teen. He has four daughters, and a son with Geillis Duncan. He exploits Jamie's scarred back for his own purposes. Dougal is played by Graham McTavish in the television series.
