**Dean Wagner** is Jonas and Sidney's adoptive father and husband to Sue Wagner. He is also a cop and runs a foster care from his house.

## Personality

Being the chief of the Sellwood Police Department, Dean strict, no-nonsense, and commanding to his family. His fatherly side is barely seen, even to the point where his adoptive children refer to him by his real name rather than "Dad". He forces Sidney and Jonas, the oldest of the foster children, to do many chores, and seems especially harsh on Jonas. He often berates him for the smallest things (not being able to hear him when calling him, having seconds for dinner when guests attend, etc.), and often uses the fact that adopting and raising Jonas hasn't been easy over his head. Dean is seen to be extremely bigoted, not believing in same-sex relationships, referring to Mitch as a "queer", and doesn't take lightly to his adoptive son being bisexual (not to mention his adoptive sister being lesbian/asexual). It's eventually revealed that Dean has a stash of pornographic photos of nude foster children hidden in the garage. When Jonas accidentally stumbled across them, Dean threatened that revealing it would destroy the family and leave Jonas and Sidney homeless. In the end, his manipulation of his son is what leads to his downfall, as Jonas, in a fit of rage, uses his powers to burn the shed to the ground and accidentally slash Dean in the chest when he comes out to see what was going on.

After Jonas slashes Dean in the chest, he is sent to the hospital with no memory of what happened. However, the police had discovered the photos in the wreckage and quickly began investigating Dean. After Jonas and Sidney graduate, it's revealed Dean has been arrested, with his job as both a foster parent and police chief being terminated, and Sue divorcing him.

## Appearance

Dean is a middle aged man with pale skin, greying hair, and brown eyes. When not wearing his chief of police uniform, he often wears button-up shirts and jeans.

## History

At some point in his life, Dean Wagner became the chief officer of the Sellwood Police Department in Sellwood, California. He would marry Sue Wagner and together they opened a foster home together. Their earliest children were four year old twins Jonas "Joey" and Sidney. Adopting them a few years later, Jonas and Sue were homeschooled until the sixth grade, where they began attending Sellwood middle school. It's been hinted that Dean had a much happier relationship with Jonas when he was child.

In Jonas' junior year of high school, he took a photography class. One day, when he ran out of film, Sue told him that there might be extra film in the shed. Inside, Jonas poked around and was horrified to discover pictures of foster children without their clothes on. Dean caught Jonas looking and threatened him that if he ever revealed the information to anybody, it would destroy the family and leave Jonas and Sidney homeless.
