Geillis in Outlander is a time-traveller who kills her husband in the 20th century in order to travel back to the 1700s in an effort to change the course of Scotland's history.
Outlander is a show which has stolen our hearts and it's safe to say that it has had us fans on the edge of our seats several times over the years.
On her travels in the first season, she meets protagonist and fellow time-traveller Claire Fraser and the pair bond over their shared interest in herbs. While Geillis' character was thought up by author Diana Gabaldon for the series, Geillis Duncan was in fact a real person who lived in the 1500s. She was a teenage maidservant who, like her fictional counterpart, was accused of witchcraft.
Seton discovered a mark on Geillis' neck which was called "the Devil's mark" and this only furthered Seton's suspicions.
