Description
Rodi remembers his father as more concerned about himself than about his family. He always offered lukewarm responses to Rodi's youthful enthusiasm.
He carried a dullness from having his own enthusiasm snuffed early on. He did everything right: studied, married, got a stable job, and still hadn't felt satisfied. It taught Rodi to go the complete opposite way with everything.
Story
Early years
He met Rhea during a business trip in Dodecanea, and fell in love so deeply that he moved in with her right after the trip. In the spur of excitement and passion, they have agreed on marrying and raising a child, that being Rodi.
Four years afterwards, his business needed him back into Inkopolis, thus he relocated the family to the capital city, something neither Rhea or Rodi welcomed.
Rhea and Jacob's relationship soured as Rodi struggled in the new environment, and disagreements were ripe. They had a divorce ten years later, and Jacob gained custody over Rodi, raising him until he left home by his own accord at 19.
To fill Rhea's void, Jacob tried dating other women, though nothing went anywhere.
