Feyre's Father
- Supporting
- First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 1
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.

Feyre's father begins as a broken, once-wealthy merchant reduced to poverty and physical disability, whose passivity forces his youngest daughter to shoulder the family's survival. His fortunes shift dramatically when Tamlin restores his wealth and health, transforming him from a dependent invalid into a man of renewed status and purpose. Though his presence fades in later books, his legacy endures through his daughters' complex feelings toward him and the quiet strength he eventually models in accepting help.
