jkbravo3 for Henry Knox
Henry Knox is the father of the protagonist Daniel. He was murdered in a bungled home invasion when Daniel was 12 years old and features in this story via flashbacks / memories from Daniel's perspective.
Henry is a loving dad who is deeply invested in Daniel's future. He takes a great interest in Daniel's day to day life and tries to impart lessons and wisdom wherever he can. A large and imposing figure, Henry works in construction and enjoys a good relationship with his colleagues. In his younger years, Henry was a talented boxer who saw moderate success until an injury forced him out of the sport. Now in his late 30s, Henry often uses analogies and anecdotes from his boxing days to teach Daniel about how to succeed in life.
Henry is fiercely protective and would do anything to keep Daniel safe.
(Trying to console and reassure his son, Daniel, who suggests that Henry would have found a way to overcome a group of bullies without assistance from anyone else) “Sometimes your opponents are just stronger than you. You can’t take them head on. You have to run - just like you did today.” (Scoffing when his son protests) “You think I never came up against guys who were stronger than me? Faster?”
(Responding to a question about how to find an opponent’s weakness) “That all depends on your opponent. I can’t give you a silver bullet that’ll work in every encounter. But just understand this - the fight is never lost as long you’re still on your feet. Do that, and you’re still in it.”
(Cries out in pain several times as he is brutally attacked, then calls to Daniel, struggling and gasping as he grapples with the intruder) “Danny, the front door... run! Can’t... hold him...”
