Arthur Vance

Arthur, a character from the It Lives Beneath book, is your maternal grandfather. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
Arthur has short gray hair, blue eyes, a stubble, and slightly tanned skin. He wears a light brown jacket with cream collars and pockets on both sides over a gray shirt.

Personality
He is shown to be controlling, although this is because he thinks it will keep his grandchildren safe. He can also be rude at times, given that he tells your character to go live with their biological father if they can't abide by his rules, although said father had abandoned his family several years ago. In Chapter 3, he appears to mellow out and wants to make his grandkids feel comfortable. He is a member of the Cult but doesn't want his grandkids to know. He refers to his meetings with the other Cultists as "Poker with the boys". He believes The Society isn't as powerful as it once was and wishes to gain more power. He also feels remorse for killing his daughter after she planned to expose The Society, but shows it in anger rather than sadness.

Main Character
Your Character mentions that they hadn't even met Arthur until their parents were murdered and he became Elliot's legal guardian. They already seem to have a hostile relationship given his controlling attitude and your character refers to him as a jerk when talking to both Elliot and Tom. In Chapter 3, their relationship improves slightly when he sympathizes that you're still struggling with the deaths of your parents. This deteriorates when it is revealed that he was responsible for the death of your parents.

Unnamed Daughter
Arthur's daughter was also a member of the Society. When she threatened to expose the truth of the town's Society, Arthur viewed her actions as cowardice and had a hand in her death, using it as a sacrifice for power. While he expressed remorse for his actions, it was rooted by anger, not sadness.
