==History==
Ronald played a crucial role in supporting his stepson, Kellan, during a difficult time. When Kellan returned home with injuries from a confrontation with local bullies, Ronald quickly responded by fetching water and assisting his wife in caring for Kellan’s wounds. Despite the boy's reluctance to discuss the cause of his injuries, Ronald remained attentive and concerned. He noticed the peculiar nature of the injuries — evidence of cold iron and yew — and questioned Kellan about the incident. Ronald’s calm demeanor and reassuring words helped alleviate Kellan’s fears about his identity and the potential truth of the taunts he had received. By emphasizing that Kellan’s worth was determined by who he was, not where he came from, Ronald provided the emotional support necessary for Kellan to feel valued and loved, reinforcing his role as a protective and affirming figure in his stepson’s life.
When Kellan returned from his quest, Ronald eagerly dropped his axe upon spotting his stepson and ran to embrace him. He was overjoyed by Kellan’s return and shouted to his wife about their son's arrival. After warmly greeting Kellan, Ronald assisted in making their reunion special. He then went out to get some tea from the Browns to ensure a comfortable and welcoming home for Kellan to stay at, however briefly.
