His Character Is Names Cipher
Hamish Linklater has joined the cast ofGen Vseason 2, with theMidnight Massactor’s addition to the show being one of the most exciting season 2 casting announcements.

Cipher is an original character, with him not having appeared inThe Boyscomics, but he will undoubtedly play a big role in season 2.
The fate of Godolkin University was left up in the air afterGen Vseason 1, as the conspiracy surroundingGodolkin’s the Woods facilityand the violent finale caused some fans to wonder if the university would get shut down.Gen Vended with a mass supe riot that involved many of the escaped prisoners of the Woods, with things getting so bad that Homelander had to step in.

Gen V Season 2: Renewal, Cast, Story & Everything We Know
The world of The Boys has expanded with spinoff Gen V, and here’s everything we know about season 2 and Amazon Prime Video’s return to Godolkin.
Hamish Linklater’s Dean Cipher will be following in the footsteps of anotherGen Vseason 1 character, with that being Shelley Conn’s Indira Shetty. Shett was the former dean of Godolkin University and the main antagonist ofGen V, with her being behind the goings-on in the Woods facility. Dean Shetty died at the end ofGen Vseason 1 after her confrontation with Cate, and now that the role of dean is empty, it seems that Hamish Linklater’s new character will be the former villain’s replacement.
Gen V Season 2’s Cipher Is Likely A Major Homelander Ally
He Makes Godolkin Even Scarier
It is possible thatHamish Linklater’s newGen Vseason 2 character is even scarier than Dean Shetty, as Cipher is likely a major Homelander ally. Godolkin University is run by Vought International, and with Homelander seizing complete control of the company, it only makes sense that they would put a pro-Homelander dean in at the school.The Boysseason 4 is setting Homelander up to grab for power in a way that hasn’t been seen yet, and these major changes will undoubtedly affect how the school is run.
Dean Cipher’s role inGen Vseason 2 could involve him covering up Homelander’s violence and supe supremacist rhetoric during the Godolkin University riot from the end ofGen Vseason 1. He could also have a hand inturning the university’s student population against Starlightand the protagonists ofThe Boysand further towards the pro-Homelander side, with this possibility being absolutely terrifying.

Gen V follows the students of Godolkin University, and it introduces many new Supes whose powers range from almost useless to super strong.
Dean Shetty was already a scary enough villain for her involvement in the Woods program, but Cipher will undoubtedly be worse. Dean Shetty may have been evil, but at least she was against supes, withHomelander’s involvement inThe Boysseason 1’s plane crashleading to her having a specific hatred for him. Putting a pro-Homelander dean in office at Godolkin means that the entirety of Vought will most likely be operating in lockstep, making the university an even scarier threat for Marie and the gang inGen Vseason 2.
