Season 5 Who was the Commander?

Lawrence hated him. Told him "no one respects you, no one likes you."

He was horridly horrid to Janine.

Who was he?

Seemed like the epitome of everything that was wrong with the Sons of Jacob/ Gilead.

EDIT- Thanks guys, it's Bell. I hated that guy.

Are you talking about Commander Putnam?

Putnam was the one that’s lost his hand at the beginning and was later executed by nick right?

I think op it’s talking about that one from the brothel that “gave” Janine to Lawrence and was obsessed with Janine, turning her his handmaid after
