He takes the scarab home and that night, it comes alive and grafts itself to the base of Jaime's spine, providing him with a suit of extraterrestrial, modifiable armour. Details of Guillén's role are currently being kept under wraps.
After the dramatic season one finale of Reacher, Guillén's character Jasper is not a guaranteed return for season two so only time will tell if he is set to return to the successful Prime show.
