Veteran is the father of the Takatas and a brother-in-law of Mute. He is extremely obsessed with war due to being manipulated by his "trusted" commander. An ex-veteran, he is known to be extremely violent should his anger rouse up, and can cause collateral damage. When he became homeless after Chi ran away from his once current home due to being abused and bullied, He became extremely depressed and is a bit more calmer and is scared to burst in anger. His temper is what caused his children to become failed subjects and a bit more defective. Veteran also has to suffer the loss of his wife, but does not go into a psychotic state like Fangtooth, another God punished father, as he knows what he did wrong due to his temper being out of control. Veteran is blunt, sarcastic, wise, sharp, calculative, gassy, hot-headed, and incredibly strong and agile.
