Here we have Daniels father, Joseph. Joseph is extremely prideful of his lineage, and wishes his son would be as well. But Daniels lack of interest constantly frustrates Joseph to the point he feels ashamed of his son, and views him more of an embarassment. Joseph is highly distinguished in the were community, holding the office of House Chair of Were Affairs, in DC, a position which helps uphold and maintain the rights of weres in the country. The problem with this is that he puts more emphasis on his job and social life than on his family, which eventually tore his marriage apart and strained his relationship with his son. Joseph loves his son, but still struggles to find and maintain a balance of work, socialite status, and family.
