AMC’s Preacher has done a spectacular job at bringing a rich world full of monsters, both of the literal and metaphorical nature, to life. The series might have a habit to slow down every so often, but once it hits the gas it’s like nothing else on TV. There have been many bad-asses that have shown up on Preacher, but they all look like Muppet Babies in comparison to the ultra-deadly Saint of All Killers.

The Saint of All Killers sometimes feels like a sheer force more than he does an actual character at times, but Graham McTavish plays the character with a chilling vulnerability that still shows his humanity. He’s not just a monster, and that’s what makes him so interesting. The Saint of All Killers was last seen during the show’s second season in a grueling underwater grave of sorts that was finally able to ensure that the Ghost Cowboy Terminator finally comes to an end. While it seems like this could have been the end of the character’s story, he’s back in a big way this season and he’s not exactly happy with the “time out” that Jesse put him in. With the Saint of all Killers finally returning to the picture in Preacher’s recent episode, “The Tombs,” we touch base with Graham McTavish and discuss what his vengeful gunslinger is out to do this year.

DEN OF GEEK: Talk a little bit about the changes that the Saint of All Killers goes through this season. Where’s his head at this year?

GRAHAM McTAVISH: It’s a different season, for sure, as up until now the Saint’s goal has been pretty clear. He needs to take down Jesse Custer. It was a very linear story up until this point and you’re just waiting for their two paths to eventually converge. This season however is very different. I literally go to hell and back and I need to make a deal. The Saint needs to strap himself together with Eugene, which is certainly an interesting change of pace. It’s a lot for him to carry on in his usual manner, get back to Hell, but also have Eugene along at his side. There’s this fascinating strained relationship between the two of them.
