What Happened to Rafael on Legacies? Shortly after we learned Rafael was from a royal blood line that capably allowed him to pull Excalibur from the stone, things went south.
We learned this “muddle” killed another character, Chad, and that Rafael would be next to suffer a gruesome fate.
Instead of killing the character off, Hope hatched a plan to keep Rafael alive, albeit in an unusual way.
She created a prison world for Rafael that also featured his parents so that they could all spend time together and get to know one another better — world where he could create and define his own happiness.
