no face ideas just yet! i'm still fighting to figure him out but thus far i am thinking he was a former judge for the new orleans criminal courts, and now teaches as a law professor at UNO. he's almost an entirely different person since he stopped being a judge. during that time he was always busy and stressed, he never had much time for anything else. which he regrets because now that he's old and gray, he's given up the courtroom and able to actually enjoy life and put a smile on his face each day. unfortunately, it was a little too late and for most of his children's lives growing up he was crotchety ol' honorable beaufort beaumont and now he's easy going and bright and cheery... and they're all too old to care. haha.
