Who is Goins' Philip Charyn in 'Billions' Season 6?

Charyn is introduced as a teacher in a plush charter school and is described as somewhat of a genius in the finance market circuit. He's also Roger Scooter Dunbar's (Daniel Breaker) nephew who the latters hates to have working at MPC. He's also seen as one of the best employees quietly going about his business and Prince hopes that his strategic and tactical acumen rubs off on the other folks as well. 

However, Scooter hates the guts of his nephew and confronts Prince about bringing him onboard. The boss man says he was the best that a headhunter offered him when he was looking at someone to lift heavy load on his shoulders to help. By the end of the episode, he was also seen paired up with Victor and Dhruv Maheshwari's Tuk Lala. What Charyn brings to the table is fearless and cold-blooded efficiency in his trading — a new direction that the team looks to take.

'Billions' Season 6 airs Sunday nights at 9 pm ET on Showtime.
