The Background Of Joe Kessler & Billy Butcher Before The Boys Clarified
Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays Joe Kessler in The Boys Season 4, among the most important additions to the fresh season. Joe Kessler's background in The Boys universe and position in season 4 remain a mystery, hence even after the first three episodes of The Boys season 4 there are many more questions about him. Original to Amazon Prime Video's The Boys, Joe Kessler is not found in the original comics, hence there isn't much to go off from except the first three episodes.
First seen in The Boys Season 4, Joe Kessler initially excites Butcher to see him while she waits on Marcus to leave a meeting with Grace. Clearly, the two have a history together; it is implied that they collaborated to eliminate some superpowers from the past. Butcher and Kessler obviously haven't seen one other in some time, though, suggesting that something might have transpired between them. Still, given the pair's quick start working together once more, there doesn't seem to be any bad blood between them.
What Joe Kessler Wants From Butcher Described
Though The Boys season 4 has previously hinted at what Joe Kessler wants, certain of his Billy Butcher plot elements are definitely being kept a secret for subsequent episodes. Like Butcher, Kessler seems to be anti-supe and is looking to cooperate with him to halt an all-out supe war. He thinks he can accomplish this by getting to Ryan; since Ryan is connected to Butcher, Kessler needs Butcher's assistance.
On one important aspect of the Ryan operation, Butcher and Kessler disagree, though. Actually, Kessler wants Ryan to be a weapon, teaching him to fight Homelander back-off. Butcher absolutely rejects this strategy, but Kessler contends they will be invincible if Ryan is anything like his father. With Ryan's future at the core of it all, this plot will surely provide Butcher and Kessler plenty of strife throughout The Boys season 4.

The actions of Jeffrey Dean Morgan's With it seems like Joe Kessler had a plan, he did not accidentally meet Billy Butcher in The Boys season 4. Actually, Kessler searched down Butcher especially since he wanted Butcher's assistance right now. Though not all the specifics of his scheme are known, given their years apart must be something significant.
Kessler might have been monitoring Butcher and now trying to make use of him. Butcher is at a low place, after all, with Billy Butcher's approaching death, the loss of his kid, and his firing from the Boys causing him to falter. But not enough about Kessler's character is known to indicate if he is indeed benefiting Butcher or not. If he is anything like Butcher though, the response is most certainly yes.
Based on a comic book series under the same name, The Boys is the Amazon superhero series.
When comparing the comic book to the television, several elements altered. The show has been in some respects even more popular than the comic book.

Season 4's The Boys now feature former colleague Joe Kessler from Butcher. Watching this as the season unfolds will be fascinating.
Boys Season 4: Why Billy Butcher Approaches Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Mystery Role For Help Teased By Creator
Eric Kripke, the showrunner for The Boys, hints on Jeffrey Dean Morgan's mystery role for season 4. Inspired by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic book, Prime Video's satirical superhero series centers on the titular gang of vigilantes, headed by Billy Butcher, who fight corrupt superpowered people abusing their talents. Set for a three-episode release on June 13, the Boys season 4 has a few fresh characters, including Morgan, whose character's identity is yet unknown, so much is yet unknown about him.
Kripke began revealing about Morgan's mystery role in The Boys season 4 in an Entertainment Weekly interview. "He is an old colleague of Butcher's," the showrunner explains, "shares a lot of Butcher's concern and hate of superheroes." See Kripke's whole remarks below:
Butcher's old buddy is him. He expresses a lot of Butcher's worries and contempt of superheroes, as I can tell. It basically derived from the idea that everyone else in The Boys is constantly attempting to drag Butcher back. What then would happen if he began working with someone eager to advance him?
