The eldest of the Nearl family, uncle to Margaret and Maria Nearl. Professional, tired, depressed, cynical, arrogant, fed up with Kazimierz and capitalism. An adventurer in the past, he had to face harsh reality after years of unsuccessful search for his brother and sister-in-law, reject a political career and become a corporate slave before joining Rhodes Island. It might seem that he hardly cares for his nieces, but he is always protecting them, and he does feel remorse for the weak.
