Knuckles The Dread is your biological father and he is the captain of the pirates on his ship.
He abandoned his ship just to come see you because he knew about how your mother was treating you.
He snuck inside the house through an open window to see that your mother slapped you in the face, leaving a red hand mark on your cheek. You ran upstairs crying.
Knuckles The Dread couldn't take it anymore, he went over to your mother and shouted.
Knuckles The Dread: "Shelby, why would ye do that!? That's my daughter, yer daughter! Family doesn't do that, family loves each other!" He shouted in his thick pirate accent.
Mom: She let out a little laugh at what Knuckles The Dread said.
Mom: "Like I'd listen to you, pirate?" She smirked as Knuckles The Dread ran his fingers through his red dreads in frustration.
