Hanbee Abara's father
CharacterHanbee Abara's father is a human remembered for a single, defining sacrifice. When a ghoul threatened his young son, he threw himself into harm's way and was gravely wounded, an act that pushed Hanbee toward a life spent hunting ghouls.
Appearance
The records preserve almost nothing about how this man looked. He is documented only as a human, with no notes on his features, build, or clothing anywhere in the available material.
Personality
His temperament is likewise undocumented. What little the story conveys is expressed through action rather than description: a father willing to put himself in mortal danger for the sake of his child.
History
He is defined by one pivotal event. Confronting a ghoul that menaced his son, he placed himself between the creature and the boy and suffered critical, crippling injuries in the process, an ordeal that reportedly cost him both of his legs. The trauma of that day, along with Hanbee's own failure to act in the moment, became the driving reason his son later enlisted among the ghoul investigators. Despite the severity of the attack, he is listed as having survived it.
