'''The Wanderer''', properly known as '''Rainer''' and '''Rainer The Defiant''', also known as '''Bo's Destiny''', was the name of a character that appeared in the ''Lost Girl'' television series. The role was played by the actor Kyle Schmid. The Wanderer has appeared in four Fourth Season episodes. At the time of the third season, the actor playing the role was not revealed but the character was referenced repeatedly. In the Fourth Season the character was played by the actor Kyle Schmid. During the latter half of the Third Season, the character was referenced many times, mainly in connection with a Tarot card of The Wanderer, or the song The Wanderer as performed by Dion. He made only one actual appearance in that season which occurred in the season finale ''[[Those Who Wander]]''. In that episode, [[Tamsin]] called him Bo's father, and [[Aife]] gave some indications of the powers that he had. However, all of the information given that suggested the The Wanderer was Bo's Father was incorrect as revealed in the Fourth Season.

However, all of the information given that suggested the The Wanderer was Bo's Father was incorrect as revealed in the Fourth Season.


At the end of the Third Season finale, he had encountered Tamsin and [[Dyson]], which resulted in their driving over a cliff, the ultimate fate unknown. He also trapped [[Bo]], his daughter, in the Dal Riata and then, using his powers, kidnapped her. After Bo's disappearance, the Wanderer card, which was his calling card, was transformed to show both an image of himself and Bo standing with him, their backs turned to the viewer of the card.

In the Fourth Season, he did not make his first appearance until the episode ''[[Destiny's Child]]'', but his actions effected [[Bo]] over that time including being responsible for her being aligned with the Dark Fae. The evidence of this was a signed pledge which had Bo's signature and that of a Dark Fae named Rainer, this being The Wanderer's real name. His real name of Rainer, more formally, Rainer The Defiant, was revealed during the episode ''[[Destiny's Child]]'' and at the end of the episode, when he was confronted by [[Bo]], his appearance was revealed for the first time. Upon [[Bo]]'s freeing of Rainer from the Death Train and his curse, he encouraged Bo to eliminate the Una Mens in [[Waves]] and did so.

His real name of Rainer, more formally, Rainer The Defiant, was revealed during the episode ''[[Destiny's Child]]'' and at the end of the episode, when he was confronted by [[Bo]], his appearance was revealed for the first time.


As a result of this action, a prophecy began to be revealed in which Rainer and Bo were, according to a trusted aide of Rainer's, to marry and in doing so prevent a great evil from arriving on the Earth. Rainer did bind to Bo but in doing so actually opened a gate for the evil to enter through. Following this event, Massimo, a human Druid who had gained the powers of the Una Mens through consuming an Origin Seed, attacked Bo and attempted to kill her.
It was revealed that Rainer had opposed [[Trick]] when he was the Blood King. Rainer had the power of foresight and with this power had managed to gain the upper hand in their conflict. In order to defeat Rainer, Trick used his blood powers to change reality so that Rainer was betrayed by his armies and fell in battle. Following his death, Trick then convinced [[Tamsin]] not to take Rainer's soul to Valhalla and instead allow Trick to curse him and trap him upon the Death Train.

Following this event, Massimo, a human Druid who had gained the powers of the Una Mens through consuming an Origin Seed, attacked Bo and attempted to kill her.


Rainer moved to defend Bo but failed to do so. While in the grasp of Massimo, he apologized to Bo for everything that had happened and also told [[Trick]] to tell [[Tamsin]] his soul was hers. Immediately afterwards Massimo killed Rainer. At some point afterward, Tamsin took Rainer's soul to Vahalla with [[Kenzi]]'s when she sacrificed herself to stop the evil as the prophecy actually stated. As of the end of the Fourth Season, Rainer was deceased, his soul apparently in Valhalla and his fate uncertain.

==Character History==
===Third Season===
===Third Season===
The history of The Wanderer is unclear and contains many assumptions and questions. Who he is, what kind of Fae he is, his allegiance, age, parents and other vital information is not known. Additionally, his name is also not known or spoken of. It can be assumed however that [[Aife]], his wife would know his name, but she has not revealed it by the end of the Third Season.
The Wanderer was referred to in several episodes prior to the episode ''[[Those Who Wander]]'' where he actually appeared. His first mention came in the episode ''[[Fae-ge Against The Machine]]'' where the Wanderer tarot card appeared several times. Once when Bo was told to pick a card and chose the Wanderer card. The next when the deck was turned over and all of the cards were seen to be Wanderer cards as well. The final time being a shower of Wanderer cards that surrounded [[Tamsin]] reminding her of the mission she had been on for some time.
 
At some point in the past, Aife became his wife. However, it is entirely possible that he is the [[Dark Fae]] that Aife referred to as holding her captive and torturing her.<ref>See the episode ''[[Blood Lines]]''</ref> This brings up the question of [[Bo]]'s birth as from what Aife has said, she did not love Bo's father and stole Bo away from him. It is possible that he planned for Bo's birth and her gaining her powers as a longer term plan to become the ruler of the Fae, with Aife and Bo at his side, assisting him to rule.
 
As much as this seemed to match with Aife's statements, according to the memories that Bo saw during her Dawning, he seemed to care for Bo to some extent.<ref> See the episode ''[[The Ceremony]]''</ref> telling her guardian that should Bo need anything to call him and as well being seen in Bo's memories singing to her. Whether this was Bo's real memories or fantasy is not clear and does bring to question however Aife's statements about how she was treated.
 
His history however remains unclear save for some recent events.
 
He was referred to in several episodes prior to the episode ''[[Those Who Wander]]''. His first mention came in the episode ''[[Fae-ge Against The Machine]]'' where the Wanderer tarot card appeared several times. One when Bo was told to pick a card and chose the Wanderer card. The next when the deck was turned over and all of the cards were seen to be Wanderer cards as well. The final time being a shower of Wanderer cards that surrounded Tamsin reminding her of the mission she had been on for some time.
 
The next appearance was in ''[[The Ceremony]]''. The first hint of his existence was when the song the Wanderer was played to Bo and Dyson when they first arrived in the Temple for Bo's Dawning. During this, Bo witnessed her father holding her in his arms and singing a song to her.<ref>*The lullaby song is the ''Baloo Baleerie'', a Scottish lullaby song that is thought to date back to the 11th or 12th century, because of the combination of Pagan (the malevolent fairies) and Christian (the angels) beliefs in the lyrics. You can read the entire lyrics and more [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baloo_Baleerie here.]</ref> His face is never seen, but his voice is and he seems to care about Bo greatly in the vision that is seen. After his departure, Aife is shown killing Bo's guardian and then stealing Bo away saying that he would never have Bo as well. At the end of the episode, another hint about The Wanderer is given when [[Trick]] examines a old drawing of a mythical creature which looks something like a Pegasus rearing up while drawing something, likely Chi, from a group of either Fae or humans. As this is shown, the song "The Wanderer" plays which seems to connect the two.


He did not appear physically in the episode ''[[Adventures In Fae-bysitting]]'', but his presence was apparent. In some manner he was involved with the events of the episode through a Carousel which was located in a park. When Bo involved herself with a coven of human witches, her father's presence is known. Bo's Father possesses one of the witches and tells Bo that her power is beyond her own comprehension, and that soon the two of them would rule together. Bo's Father then killed the two witches, leaving Bo alone and confused over what she had learned.
When Tamsin attempted to complete her mission in the season finale ''[[Those Who Wander]]'', Bo convinced her to go against the mission Tamsin was on. This eventually ended with Tamsin and [[Dyson]] being forced off a road and over a cliff when they encountered The Wanderer, Tamsin revealing to Dyson that he was Bo's Father moments before the crash occurred, although she was mistaken in her belief as was revealed in the Fourth Season.


His appearance in ''[[Hail, Hale]]'' was only a fleeting glimpse of the old drawing that Trick had examined at the end of ''[[The Ceremony]]'' which Trick took with him when he was fleeing the Dal Riata after [[The Morrigan]]'s actions against humans.
At the end of ''[[Those Who Wander]]'', Bo was trapped in the Dal Riata where he first trapped her, then taunted her with one of the tarot cards, before causing the windows and other glass items in the Dal Riata to shatter. Following this, a black fog surrounded Bo and transported her away from the Dal Riata to places unknown. The only evidence being left behind was the shattered glass on the floor of the Dal Riata and a single tarot card, which showed a modified image of the Wanderer with a silhouette of Bo standing beside him.
 
[[Tamsin]] was hired by him to locate Bo and return her. She found Bo but then found she did not wish to complete her mission as she was well aware of what happened to those that were taken to The Wanderer.<ref>See Tamsin's comments about this in ''[[Delinquents]]''</ref> At this refusal, Tamsin was visited by Acacia, a friend and mentor of her who reminded her of the mission she needed to complete. When Tamsin refused again, Acacia was killed and her hand delivered to Tamsin as a warning.
 
When Tamsin attempted to complete her mission in the season finale ''[[Those Who Wander]]'', Bo convinced her to go against The Wanderer's wishes. This eventually ended with Tamsin and [[Dyson]] being forced off a road and over a cliff when they encountered him, Tamsin revealing to Dyson that he was Bo's Father moments before the crash occurred.
 
At the end of ''[[Those Who Wander]]'', Bo was cornered by him in the Dal Riata where he first trapped her, then taunted her with one of the tarot cards, before causing the windows and other glass items in the Dal Riata to shatter. Following this, he created a black fog which surrounded Bo and transported her away from the Dal Riata to places unknown. The only evidence being left behind was the shattered glass on the floor of the Dal Riata and a single tarot card, which showed a modified image of the Wanderer with a silhouette of Bo standing beside him.

During ''[[Origin]]'' several prophecies about Rainer were revealed as he was written back into history once more. In one of these, an image of him as The Wanderer made him appear to be a devil-like being and he was described as being the catalyst for the destruction of the Fae. One of Rainer's lieutenants appeared in this episode and guided both Rainer and Bo towards a hidden goal she had. Seeking to save Rainer's life, which one prophecy indicated would end after his being returned to the Earth after seven days, Bo and Rainer were eventually married which then released a being called The Priapus. At the end of the episode, the mark which both Rainer and Bo had on their chests glowed with power, the meaning of this not explained at that time.
