Later, it was revealed that Shah is alive, but Butcher cut off his leg to make it seem like he was assassinated by the sheep.
However, Butcher knew that Sameer had previously made that virus as during the meeting between The Boys, Stan, Butcher, and Victoria, Shah revealed that he had once made the virus.
The upcoming episodes will reveal whether Shah will make the virus or not.
But it’s clear that Sameer will play an important role in Butcher’s plan to stop Homelander.
Omid Abtahi Played The Role Of Leading Scientist
Omid Abtahi, aka Sameer Shah, is a leading scientist at the Vought R&D Department.
He is from The Mandalorian, and his role in The Boys’ universe is strikingly similar to that of a Star Wars character.
Shah’s role later changed when he was tasked with testing the supe virus on animals.
He appears in episode 5 after the gang heads to Stand Edgar’s property, which had been turned into a laboratory to test the virus.
His character is specially made for the Amazon series and does not appear in any comic edition of The Boys.
Moreover, Shah is the father of Zoey Neuman (Victoria Neuman’s daughter), who suggests that he had previously been in a relationship with Victoria Neuman.
Unfortunately, the series does not disclose the dynamics between Victoria and Sameer.
