Primarch Zadar

Primarch Zadar is a 61-year-old human, former cleric, and leader of the Church. He is famous throughout the Core Empires for his reforms and even-handedness.

## History

Like many members of the Church, Zadar was born and raised in poverty. His childhood was spent on the streets, struggling to survive. He says to have been taken in by clerics before he was a teenager, and resolved to stay with the Church soon after.

Zadar noticed problems such as waste and corruption within Church leadership, and worked his way up its ranks in order to eliminate problems, eventually being voted Primarch by his peers.

## Characteristics

The role of Primarch has alway been very official and formal, involving a great deal of ceremony. However, Primarch Zadar shuns these traditions in favor of a more modest and outright casual demeanor. He speaks freely with common folk- unthinkable for Primarchs past- and has done away with ostentatious religious rituals.

Zadar is usually laid back. He dresses for comfort unless he is entertaining nobility or holding a Council of Emperors in the Tanis  Cathederal.

He labors tirelessly to stop the the Core Empire's infighting.

## Rumors

* Primarch Zadar is said to be more ambitious than he lets on, that he wants to return the Church to its former glory. His modest successes within the Church have already made some people nervous.
* The many reforms Zadar has instituted have been a boon to the Church's image- but not to its coffers. The Primarch spends the vast majority of the Church's money on charity.
* It is thought that nearly every Paladin and Cleric of the Church has been personally vetted by Zadar. How he manages this is unknown.
* When Zadar first became Primarch, he was briefly embroiled in a scandal involving a noblewoman from the Kingdom of Dumat,Lady Elizabeth. Whether the rumors are true is unknown.
* Some claim that Primarch Zadar is actually Mr. X. Preposterous.
Cooper Bradley

**Cooper Bradley**is an unseen character. He met Barry's friend Liz during Outward Bound; much later in life, Liz and her partner Erin requested to use Cooper's sperm for in vitro fertilization.

Ultimately Cooper's sperm was not used when Liz and Erin went with Barry, originally their second choice. Brianna finds Cooper very attractive and asked for Liz to send her photos of him on a horse.

She turned to reality television, being a star on *Real Housewives* for two episodes. She got a DUI and a spin-off show after their divorce, and an ankle bracelet.

Nick then got to know Grace Hanson, after his company stole her company's vibrator. Nick courted Grace relentlessly, often while bragging about his vast fortune. She turned him down a lot until he proposed and they had eloped in Las Vegas in 2019.

Within a year he was arrested by FBI agent Karin Fenmore for tax evasion and security fraud. He told Grace he loved her as they were forced to say goodbye.

Five Seven

The **FN Five-seven**, trademarked as **Five-seveN** or just **Five Seven**, is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by *Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre-Herstal* (FN Herstal) in Belgium and by Erikson-Siegel Incorporated in the United States. The pistol is named for its 5.7-mm (.224 in) bullet diameter, and the trademark capitalization style is intended to emphasize the manufacturer's initials—*FN*.

The Five-seven pistol was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon and the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge. The P90 was introduced in 1990, and the Five-seven was introduced in 1998 as a pistol using the same 5.7×28mm ammunition. Developed as a companion pistol to the P90, the Five-seven shares many of its design features: it is a lightweight polymer-based weapon with a large magazine capacity, ambidextrous controls, low recoil, and the ability to penetrate body armor when using certain cartridge types.

## Usage

The Five-seven is currently used by the British, American, and Russian branches of the Commando, Security, and Special Forces divisions of the American private military company Erikson-Siegel Incorporated. The company's co-owner, Bugsy Erikson, and several known operatives (Yuri Borodin and Mike Allen) are known to have their own personal Five-sevens

Amelia Banford

> *"My mother didn't even notice if I went to school. Didn't even notice if I came back. Didn't notice if I snuck a drink. I always assumed I'd be a better mother than she was, but I suppose the bar wasn't very high."*
>
>

**Amelia Anne Purcell, née Banford** (1913-?) was the mother of Grace Purcell and Jeffrey Purcell. She was originally an actress, but gave up her career when she married Frederick Purcell (1923), an assistant manifacturer who was three years her senior.

According to Grace, Amelia was always depressed and wanted more out of her life than to be a housewife. She took Grace to her actor friends who were performing Oklahoma and cried on the way home, discontent with being a housewife.

Her husband died when their youngest child, Jeffrey, was four, drowning in the ocean during a beach outing.

## Trivia

* From the few things Grace tells about Amelia, it appears they are a lot alike. Amelia prefered working over being a wife and a mother, like her daughter Grace and granddaughter Brianna. She also seems to have been a very private person as she told Grace never to tell anyone about their adventure to Oklahoma and her crying. She resembles Grace in this way too, as Grace describes herself as a private and emotionless person. Also like Grace, Amelia likely had an unhappy marriage.
* Brianna Hanson states "Grandma was a bitch" when talking about her. Her father then corrects her and says "*Both* your grandmothers were bitches", revealing she was as bad as Barbara Hanson.

## Biography

Krystle got pregnant with Coyote during a "dark time in her life", likely meaning a time of addiction or prostitution. She gave him up for adoption. She later became a Christian and married a doctor named Paul in Baton Rouge. Krystle had three sons with him: Paul Jr., Steve and Lucas "Luke" (2002). She never told her new family about her background.

Coyote later tried to connect to her and she came over to San Diego to meet him and his adoptive family. The meeting went great until she revealed that she never told her family about her past and Coyote and didn't want to. Coyote was disappointed she wouldn't let him be a part of her family. She had told her family that she went to New York to see Kinky Boots.

Her husband found the emails from Coyote two years later and assumed Krystle had had an affair (not knowing Coyote was her biological son). Her youngest son, Luke, went to San Diego to find the man he believed had torn his family apart.

## Character

Krystle is the biological mother of Coyote Bergstein. She is married to a doctor and has three other sons. She lives in Louisiana and gave up Coyote when she was young. Frankie, Coyote's adoptive mother, has a strong dislike for Krystle.

Madison was born at the Beach House because her parents, Mallory Hanson and Mitch were spending their holiday there.

In *The Burglary* , the Beach House was burgled by an unknown assailant. A rock was thrown through the window and, the burglar stole the tv and two laptops, leaving both Grace and Frankie Bergstein on edge.

Robin Mengela

❝
*I'm too old to be napping. Let me play!*
**Robin Mengela** (1949-1961) was the younger brother of Frankie Bergstein and Teddie Mengela. His nephew, Coyote Bergstein, was almost named after him.

## Story

Robin was born as the youngest of three children. Though often babied by his older sisters, he was occasionally able to bribe them with candy. At one such occasion, he was able to bride his sisters with candy to teach him how to gamble. He also threatened to tell their mother Frankie changed into modern, non-conservative outfits before going to school. He died as a young teenager when he was hit by a car.

His tragic death had a lasting effect on his family. His parents grew apart and since she couldn't stand the grief that ruled their house, Frankie moved out of the house and ran away, aged just 18. Frankie refused to ride the highway for the lager part of her life. She also discussed naming her son Coyote Bergstein after Robin, but ultimately decided it would be far too painful.

## Relationships

### Teddie Mengela

Robin seemed to be close to his elder sister Teddie, in a mature way that befits an older sister.

### Frankie Bergstein

Frankie and Robin seem to have had a very playful and teasing relationship. He kept Frankie's secret, namely that she changed into "fast clothes" before school.

## Trivia

* Teddie Mengela mentions he was six years younger than Frankie. Frankie moved out after his death aged 18, meaning he died when he was around twelve years of age.
* It is revealed as early as Season One that Frankie doesn't like driving on the freeway. It's only in Season Four that it's explained she doesn't because it reminds her of Robin's death.

Reggie Teinert

**Reginald "Reggie" Teinert** (1945-2020) was an old friend of Robert Hanson during their time in the Navy together. He died in 2020, and was survived by his widow, Dorothy Teinert, their four children and twelve grandchildren.

## Biography

During basic training in San Diego in 1963, Reggie struggled. One day, when he already had two strikes against him Reggie forgot to polish his shoes. And when the commander came in to inspect them, they had been polished. Someone had shined them for Reggie. If Reggie had failed that inspection, they would have revoked his liberty. That weekend was the weekend he met Dorothy.

Reggie was then sent to Vietnam, where he was saved by Mr. Henson after the Vietcong shot and bombed his ship in the port of Saigon. Mr Henson would lord this over Reggie his entire life, and even used this to convince Reggie and his wife to financially support his son's film, which turned out to be pretty offensive.

He married Dorothy in 1970, who "loved him from the moment [she] met him". They had four children together, including a son named Reginald "Junior", and twelve grandchildren, before he passed away in 2020. He often told his children about how Robert had saved him and his marriage because of polishing his shoes, teaching his children how far a little kindness could go.
Frederick Purcell

**Frederick Alan Purcell** (1910-1949) was the father of Grace Purcell and Jeffrey Purcell . He was an assistant manifacturer from Connecticut who married Amelia Banford. Theirs was an unhappy marriage, most likely because Amelia wanted to be more in her life than a wife and mother.

He drowned in the sea on a family outing right before the eyes of his daughter Grace, leaving her with a fear of the ocean. His son Jeffrey was four years old at the time.

## Trivia

* Frederick was born in 1910, because he was 29 at Grace's birth according to Grace's birth-certificate. She was born November 9th, 1939.
* He never left the house without a hat
* He smelled of vanilla on Sunday mornings from making his children pancakes.
* He could do a great bug's bunny impression.
* He slept in the hospital when his toddler son Jeffrey had pneumonia. Additionally, he slept next to his daughter Grace on the floor of her bedroom when she was scared.

## Story

When Grace and Phil met, they instantly felt a connection and soon meeting up at a bar called The Anchor. Phil was married at the time, but tells Grace in 2015, that after their fling he told his wife everything and they decided to divorce. However, his wife got Alzheimer's shortly after and Phil couldn't bear to leave her in a lurch. Phil confesses to Grace he is still married to her, although she's at an advanced stage of her illness, so it's not really a relationship and he seems prepared to be with Grace.

Phil tells Grace it's up to her if she wants to start something and Grace, struggling with the situation, meets Phil to tell him they're through. Phil is sad, but takes it like a gentleman. Grace can't leave and kisses him, starting their relationship. They enjoy each other and are dazzlingly happy until Phil's wife, Elaine, has an episode and Phil must leave to care for her. Grace ends up inadvertently meeting Elaine, who experiences a rare moment of clarity and knows that it's Grace. Unable to handle it, Grace leaves Phil for good.

Two years later, Robert mentions to everyone at Mary's funeral that Phil recently passed away. Grace, even with her new boyfriend Nick Skolka, mourns him throughout the rest of the season and is having a hard time processing his death.
