He was a good father to his daughter, though she was nothing like him he was always supportive and encouraging, though worrying about the unaccepting nature of the world, he always had faith in her. His wife is combative and closed off, but he makes her softer and she feels safe enough to open up, and he does not rise to her barbs. His mother got sick and died when he was a child, so he was raised by his grandparents as well as the entire clan.
