Lawrence Crock

## Romantic Relationships

* Paula Nguyen: Lover (1987 - 1988); Wife (1988 - 2012)

## Personality

Sportsmaster is arrogant, cocky & blunt. He is not afraid of talking back at people when they insult him in any manner. Supported by his size, he is very aggressive when in battle. Despite his arrogance, he will compliment someone should they surpass his expectations. He does not fret or lose his cool when in a dire situation.

He is well aware of the fact that he was not the ideal father in most people's eyes. Since they were young, Lawrence was always harsh on Jade & Artemis. He forced them to grow up at a fast pace as their parents were criminals who could sometimes be away for long period of times. After Jade left, Artemis got the full brunt of her father's abuse. At best, he is cordial adversaries with both of his daughters & cares for them in his own demented way.
