Here's everything to know about the mysterious Aristotle Dumas on The Young and the Restless

Aristotle Dumas is a fictional character on the CBS Network's The Young and the Restless. The character came into conversations as a billionaire who is helping Billy gain power at Chancellor.

Dumas is also helping Damian Kane; however, when Lilly Winters confronted the latter to set a meeting with the billionaire, Damian got defensive and asked for the agenda for the same. Furthermore, Amanda Sinclair also returned to Genoa City as the lawyer/representative of the unknown entity.

Meanwhile, in a conversation between Phyllis and Sally, they discussed the mysterious billionaire who has been helping Billy, and Phyllis shared her concerns about the person possibly being dangerous. However, she remarked that such people can easily get off track, so she asked Sally to bring Billy back on track and not get involved with the shady Aristotle Dumas.

Fans of The Young and the Restless speculate that Dumas might be someone from the past. There were some speculations that Aristotle Dumas might actually be Drucilla Winters, who was presumed dead, but her body was never found. Other fans of the soap opera suspect that it might be Cane Ashby with a new face, or even Tucker McCall.
