Reverend Aaron Webb

Ambitious, connected and emotionally scarred after the death of his wife, the Reverend's Machiavellian tactics threaten to ruin everything the Mottersheads have worked so hard for. Webb is a traditionalist who exerts power over the people of Upton, and his animosity towards George's plan is borne out of a mixture of narrow-mindedness and jealousy. Put simply, Webb can't reconcile his own loneliness with the riches of George's life, nor can he stop himself being drawn to Lizzie, whose spirit and energy remind him so acutely of what he’s lost.
