According to Arthur, Roman spoke to him as recently as a week prior to current events, and he\u2019d sent him to follow up with Morgan and make sure she and Ava were safe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the interaction raised about a few dozen questions, Morgan\u2019s run-in with Arthur also exposed more information about Roman, a character we\u2019ve heard about for more than a season at this point and have yet to meet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although we still are learning about Arthur, star <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/judy-reyes\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Judy Reyes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Judy Reyes<\/a>, who plays Soto, tells TV Insider, \u201cWe know that he\u2019s a close contact to Roman and that he has some history with Morgan as well, and he\u2019s trying to answer those questions that still remain for everybody about Roman.
