The Bodyguard [Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq] #2: "He was 14 when I found him. Too old. Too tall. Too angry and dangerous."

Dembe Zuma | Hisham Tawfiq
2nd A P P R E C I A T I O N T H R E A D



X

Dembe Zuma is former freedom fighter from South Sudan. He was born the youngest son of Samwel Zuma.
When Dembe's father reported a number of low-ranking operatives of a poaching organization to the authorities,
the cartel killed Dembe's father, mother and siblings and sold him to human traffickers.
He spent eight years in the world of human trafficking and was enslaved until the age of 14,
when Reddington found him half-dead and chained to a pipe in the basement of a brothel in Nairobi.
Reddington took care of him, nursed him back to health and made sure he got an education.
Dembe eventually got a Bachelor's degree in English Literature,
learned to speak four languages fluently and learned six others well enough to get by.

Because even though he barely speaks we love him so much.
Because he will be a series regular in s3!
Because he conveys so much emotion without speaking a word.
Because he knows when to tell Red how it is.
Because he likes ice cream when he gets the munchies.
Because he puts the safety and needs of others before his own.
Because he is a badass whether he's in action or standing still
Because he's loyal to Red.
Because he will protect Red at all cost.
Because he is brave and can be threatening when he needs to be.
Because he's got the best intentions for everyone.

It's great, isn't it!!! Time for some new pics or interviews of his. So lets cross fingers for it to happen

Hisham tweeted a picture from 2x09 being in post-production.

I wonder if Dembe knows a lot about Red's secrets as well. I am really curious to know how much Red shares with him.

I would like to know that as well. But if Red would share anything it would be with Dembe. He knows he can trust Dembe.

I somehow think that Red nevertheless only shares what's necessary for Dembe to know with him. I can't see him sharing everything. He might overhear a lot of stuff but Red telling him face to face, I somehow can not see that.

I agree Kris although I think Red will feel comfortable with telling Dembe everything (if he decides to) considering how loyal & faithful Dembe is to Red.

it's probably safer for Dembe if Red limits what he tells him. I think Red knows a lot of dangerous stuff

I think it safer for him too. Red would never willingly put him in danger.

Yeah, I agree on the part for it being safer for him

But still, Dembe is always there during conversations and stuff. I'm sure he knows tons of stuff. Although I really can't tell about Red's past or what it is that Liz and him connects. I doubt Red told Dembe.
