Previously, Cayden's reason for wanting to take down Oliver has been revealed. He blamed him for what happened to his son. The boy decided to cut ties with his father after the ARGUS incident. Cayden's first attempt against Oliver was when he forced the green vigilante and the rest of the Team Arrow to attend a Billy Joel concert.
Executive producer Marc Guggenheim has explained to Comicbook that they want Emerson's character to be more than the usual bad guy. He said that they frequently consult with the actor in conceptualizing Cayden as a dangerous villain.
"We are talking about him playing a character who's got a lot more nuance than the typical creepy-guy role that he is often cast in," the EP said. "We've had a lot of creative discussions with him, and I think that's one of the things that has excited us and excited Michael: that we really want to create a character in consultation and in conjunction with him. It's not just 'here's the script — go!' It's a really interesting, two-way back and forth."
"Arrow" season 6 episode 9 will air on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 9 p.m. EST on The CW.
