He and his wife brought Ned to Dr. Foster when they found that he was difficult to control.Hurricane Neddy His father was Neduchadnezzar Flanders and his mother was Winifred Trout.
He possibly served during World War II, since Abraham Simpson once referred to a "Commander Flanders" when scolding Private Charles Montgomery Burns.Raging Abe Simpson and His Grumbling Grandson in "The Curse of the Flying Hellfish":Arnie Gumble: Hey! Burnsie got himself some paintings!Iggy Wiggum: Wait a minute, we're not supposed to steal from Civilians.Abraham Simpson: You want me to report you to Commander Flanders?! Just leave them behind, Burnsie! He apparently used to discipline his son, as he claimed that he "gave up rules" when he and his wife became beatniks.

A discrepancy with his name has occurred over the years. In the episodes, he is called "Nedward," but in comic issues, as well as the Flanders' Book of Faith's Flanders' family tree, he is called "Nedsel."
According to the Simpsons Comic "Granddaddy-o!" (printed in Simpsons Comics 204), Agnes and Nedward were Bleeding Gums Murphy's godparents.

Nedward looks a lot like his son except for the goatee and his grey hair. He wears a striped shirt and, like his wife, occasionally wears a black beret.
