the family is like old money, grandfather started a charity foundation that kind of dabbles into everything and is kind of corrupt and old world. he kind of pushed kal into the role to try to take over the company when he's old enough but kal shows no signs of wanting to take over. the sibs would be pretty close since they both have had to deal with the politics of their life and being told what they were supposed to grow up and become. sort of like a family dynasty of sorts, etc.
