A eunuch?
I still don't understand why Rebecca was so surprised when she grabbed his crotch - seemed to be more than just surprise that he wasn't aroused by her. -

The incident confused me too. If he was castrated or maimed there, why would he let her reach into his pants? And the expression on her face WAS due to some surprise, and not that he was not aroused. .. And it was never explained.

How much explaining did they really need to do? It was honestly quite obvious. His expression was that he didn't give many beep so I doubt he cared. He was in a cult and he got castrated after he did something (I can't remember) and they locked him down in some basement dungeon which is how Proctor and Burton ended up meeting.
From the trivia page: The unexplored backstory for Burton was that he was raised in a brutal cult where he first killed someone who brutally whipped him as a punishment. The producers wanted to explore more of Burton's backstory in the show, but didn't have the opportunity to do so.
His past is explored a little bit in the Banshee:Origins series.
You can find them either on welcometobanshee.com or on YT, it's been awhile since I've watched them.
