Editing The Family Man (section)

==Chronology==
===Before the Story===
Unknown may have been substantiated when Kennet below, quickly became a major threat.<ref name=":1a">“Family Man? [...] Bad news.”<br>[...]<br>“Pretty quickly learned that new boys in the area weren’t looked kindly on,” Bracken told Lucy.  “Family Man showed up three weeks ago, wasn’t like he is now, back then.  Mostly normal. [...] But he made a joke weeks ago, about castrating all eligible kids- ''boys'', so they wouldn’t grow up to be competition.  Made the same joke again eight or nine days ago.  A lot more people laughed.  Made the joke a third time just three or so days ago, and it didn’t sound so jokey, and some leech of a guy who wanted to win him over started talking about it like it was a plan they could and should put into place.  We didn’t stick around. [...] He’s not so normal now.  He’s- ''built'' different.  Physically.  People treat him different.  Got the white picket fences he puts up everywhere, on the barricades and stuff.  Brands some people, got people branding themselves, or tattooing themselves.  All the girls and ladies want him, all the guys want to be part of that tight inner circle that won’t get castrated.  ‘Cause they get girls and shit, right?”

===Post-Carmine Contest===
Was quickly able to secure a third of [[kennet below]]<ref name=":1b">She went on, “I can’t say for sure that we’ll handle it right away.  This guy is someone we’ve wanted to handle for a while but it’s… tricky.”<br><br>“Yeah.  So I hear.”<br><br>“How tricky can it be?” Melissa asked.<br><br>“Like, this guy doesn’t sleep in the same house two nights in a row, he keeps a small private army with him.  If they don’t have guns, a lot of them have bows and stuff.  And other improvised weapons.  Verona thinks his physiology is different, so even if we do get a shot at him, there’s no guarantee that what knocks out or stops your usual criminal type will stop him,” Lucy said.  “And the people who do fight for him are- a ''lot'' of them are zealots.”<br><br>“A third of Kennet is with him,” Bracken said.<br><br>“What?” Melissa asked.  “Seriously?”<br><br>“A third of ''their'' Kennet, which is about a third of what ''our'' Kennet used to be.  Which is still four to six hundred people, about.  Occupying most of the residential area west of the River.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/06 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.3]]</ref>

Met [[Lucy]] while the witch was chasing [[Marlen]], offered the fugitive sanctuary and made an alliance offer to [[Bitter Street Witch]] which was put off.<ref>- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/11/27 Excerpt] from [[Playing a Part 15.9]]</ref>

He was later dealt with by the kennet council, which "destroyed" him; utterly removed any authority he had over his faction.
===the Founding===
The practitioner invaders of Musser were able to view the scene during an investigation into where Marlen had gone.<ref>She squeezed out and flicked two more beads of blood to bring it even closer to reality, and to highlight the attacker.<br><br>A man, big, broad shouldered, with too many muscles- they slithered around him like slugs beneath the skin, bulges of muscles without places to anchor to, adding to his bulk and monstrousness.<br><br>Marlen, half on her bike, one foot on the ground, wheels spinning.  The monstrous man reaching out- he’d chased on foot and he’d almost caught her in this moment. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/02/19 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.a]]</ref>

Killed the [[foreman]] bloodlessly.<ref>- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/11 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.9]]</ref> Tried to challenge  Verona's claim to [[The House on Half Street| her demesne]] but failed and was weakened further.

Stayed out of the later conflict.
===Peace ends===
He was still weakened and did not have anything to do with the larger Kennet framework.<ref>“Thorn in the Flesh?”  The gift from Gashwad.<br><br>Verona shook her head.  “Still inside the Family Man, keeping him weak.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/06/07 Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.4]]</ref>
