Victor Thornfield was one of the prominent figures in country's cultural and artistic circles. After marking his presence in the world through his paint brushes at just the ripe age of eighteen, this seventy-year-old man was now a retired university professor with multiple world famous artists as his students who also happened to be a close family friend of Harvey since their grandfather's generation.
From the time Elliot was a child, he had seen Victor coming to his house frequently as his grandfather's trusted friend. He and Li Yang had grown up with Victor around to play with them and join in their childhood adventures. For them, he was not just a friend but an extension of their family. And over the years, they had treated him as their own grandfather.
