Feyre's Father

Mr. Archeron lives with his three daughters in a cottage near the village, crippled by injuries his creditors inflicted five years earlier. He walks with a cane and spends his evenings dozing by the fire with it across his knee. The family survives entirely on Feyre's hunting; his own contribution is woodcarving, a hobby he pursues in the cottage and occasionally turns toward the market, though the carved objects rarely sell.

He has largely withdrawn from the running of the household. When his daughters need practical support he offers philosophical platitudes about hope instead, and the work of keeping them fed falls to Feyre. He is present in the cottage on the night the creature breaks in.
