It was his father.
His father was Sir Lancelot Grimm, the ruler of the entire continent. Not just one city or one region—the entire continent answered to this man. His ancestors had been the ones who unified the fractured continent centuries ago, bringing the warring territories together and overseeing the construction of all the Megacities that now stood in every corner of the land.
Even more telling of Lancelot's power was his relationship with the Citadel. The Citadel was the mysterious organization above all governments and ruling families. Even Lancelot Grimm, the ruler of an entire continent, was merely an elder within the Citadel and didn't dare move against it. The fact that someone of his magnitude was still subordinate to the Citadel showed just how terrifying that organization truly was.
Having Sir Lancelot Grimm as your father was essentially having a shield that no sane person would attack.
