"Ah, cake."

Allfather D’Aronique is not a very nice man. In fact, you might even say he makes Herr Starr look magnanimous by comparison.

Fans have wondered if we'd see the immense leader of The Grail put in an appearance on AMC's Preacher, and now Deadline reports that Jonny Coyne (The Blacklist, Alcatraz, Nightcrawler) has been cast as the grotesque villain.

This small-screen take on the character is described as "cluelessly malevolent", but also "potentially the most powerful man in the world. He is quietly sinister with eyes that see more than he says."

It was recently revealed that the third season of the AMC series had also added four new recurring characters that should be very familiar to fans of the source material, and you can find out more about them below.

Tony winner Betty Buckley (Supergirl, Split) joins the cast as a series regular playing “Gran’ma,” a spiritist with true powers, who can cast spells and even bring back the dead (for a price). Pay the fee or pay with your soul to feed Gran’ma’s thirst for eternal youth. She is weathered, tough, and mean, but also intelligent beyond measure. She’s Jesse’s only living family and she loves him.

Colin Cunningham (Falling Skies) plays “TC,” a man born of the bayou and the loyal caretaker and soldier for Gran’ma. Weaselly and wiry, he’ll gladly tell you about his perversions whether you ask him or not. While he seems like the friendliest guy you’ll ever meet, don’t make the mistake of turning your back on him.

Jeremy Childs (The Last Castle, Nashville) is “Jody.” Massive and intimidating, Jody is the enforcer for Gran’ma and the only man Jesse’s never beaten in a fight. He’s nobody’s fool, and not someone to cross.

Liz McGeever (Star, Nashville) will play “Christina.” Capable and efficient, Christina has a face that lures customers in for her family business. Christina hides it well, but she hates her job and has dreams and aspirations outside of her current life – but suffers to protect her child.

There was a season 2?

Season 2 went downhill after 3 or 4 episodes. Characters became way too unlikeable and most of all...

On a side note, Blacklist has been killing it since the second half of the 4th season. What a comeback.
