Davos

Davos is a man with a rare gift: he can see fragments of the future. His visions, as valuable as they are distressing, catch the attention of Atlantis, which faces a prophecy that seems to foretell disaster.

Davos's gift is dizzying: if the future can be seen, does that mean it is written? His predictions plunge the expedition into doubt, torn between the will to avoid the worst and the fear of bringing it about by trying to escape it.

Ill and clear-eyed about his own end, Davos embodies the tragic figure of the prophet, condemned to see without always being able to change the course of events. He gives the series one of its most subtle reflections on destiny and free will.

Davos is played by Martin Jarvis, an eminent British actor honored by the Crown, a great voice of stage and radio, seen in countless productions including Inspector Morse. He gives the seer a magnetic gravitas.
