Samuel Reed

Samuel Daniel Reed, known as Samuel, but usually referred to as Boss by most of the fandom, is the step father of Mark Reed. His role in the series can lead to people believing he is the main antagonist, but that is not the case. After Darcy Reed, who was his girlfriend at the time and currently is his wife, was raped by his enemy Alex Husher, he became the 'father' of Mark. Samuel absolutely despises Mark and does not show him any type of love. He harshly abuses him mentally, and will abuse him physically if he deems it appropriate.

==Family==
===Mark Reed===
Mark is Samuel's step-son, due to marrying Darcy. Samuel absolutely despises Mark, both because he reminds him of Alex, and because he did not ask for him. he mentally abuses him by both making fun of him, belittling him, and nitpicking every single thing he does. He doesn't knowledge any accomplishes he may make, and instead only focuses on his many failures, which definitely impacts the amount of failures Mark makes due to lack of motivation to succeed. He will physically abuse Mark, and hits him. He also will beat him with a belt if he feels like Mark deserves it. He doesn't feel bad for doing it, since he feels like it's justified. In public, he acts a bit more like a father, but still comes off as pretty distant. Samuel has no interest in being a father figure to Mark, and it really shows.
===Darcy Reed===
Darcy is Samuel's wife. Darcy and Samuel love each other, but time has made Samuel grow a bit distant. However, Samuel cares a lot about Darcy and she is still one of the most important people in his life. The two sometimes get into arguments because they have disagreements on how to parent Mark. Though, when Samuel asserts himself, he usually gets his way with it, and Darcy will force herself to let him do what he wants to Mark. Afterwards, she usually will distance herself from him as well. This is a huge reason as to why they aren't as close as they used to be. But through all of that, when their children are not around and they are alone, they seem to start to get along again, perhaps trying to restrengthen the bond that they used to have when they were younger.
===Leon Reed===
Leon is Samuel's son. Since Leon is his biological son, he loves him and treats him well, which is a drastic difference to how he treats Mark. He praises Leon, and cares for him like a father should. Leon loves him, but since he knows about Mark's abuse, he feels bad about how he's the one getting all the positive attention from Samuel. Although it is not too often, Leon will try to speak up to Samuel if he sees Mark is being treated poorly by him, but he is usually dismissed due to his age.
