Feyre's father is a once-wealthy merchant reduced to poverty after a ruinous loss of his fortune and a brutal beating by creditors that left his knee shattered, forcing him to walk with a cane and leaving his youngest daughter Feyre to keep the family alive through hunting. In A Court of Thorns and Roses he is a broken, passive figure whose fortunes are restored only through Tamlin's intervention after Feyre is taken to Prythian. By A Court of Mist and Fury he remains a distant presence in the mortal lands, a reminder of the human family Feyre left behind as she is pulled ever deeper into the world of the fae.

Description

A middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed dark beard and clear dark brown eyes, his face often drawn and tight. He moves with a pronounced limp from old knee injuries, leaning heavily on a simply carved wooden cane, his shoulders hunched from years of pain and hardship. His hands remain smooth and gentlemanly despite his reduced circumstances, and he wears clothing inadequate for cold weather. A human man; no physical features are specified in the available evidence.
