commander fred waterford (portrayed by joseph fiennes) is a high-ranking government official, chief diplomatic and june's master. both he and his wife played an instrumental role in gilead's founding. he wishes to have more contact with june outside of what is lawful between a handmaid and her master, and starts inviting her to play nightly games of "scrabble". he shows a dissimulating kind personality, often seeming a victim of gilead, but is cruel and aggressive. he also was responsible for the instauration of gilead, being one of the leaders of jacob sons. after commander pryce's death he becomes the head of the council, the govern of gilead. this role is comparable to a prime minister.
