Who is Cedric Fortemain from All About Love and what is their importance?

Cedric Fortemain is one of Phyllida's many suitors and one of the town's many suspects. Cedric's mother wishes Cedric to marry Phyllida and pushes him at her at every available opportunity. Cedric is a willing participant in this ritual for a while. However, he is actually in love with Jocasta Smollet. As Phyllida and Lucifer investigate Horatio's murder, clues begin to point directly towards Cedric. However, when confronted by Phyllida, Cedric undoubtedly rules himself out as a suspect. Not only is the killer's hat too small for him, he was with Jocasta during the time of Horatio's death. After this point, Cedric becomes an ally in the investigation.
