Part 3/9:
The dynamics of Chris's relationship with his father, Augie, play a pivotal role throughout the series. Augie's neglect and manipulation haunt Chris, illustrated through flashbacks of an abusive upbringing. Despite Chris’s attempts to extract approval from his father, he finds solace solely in his pet eagle, Eagly, who represents the unconditional love and loyalty that he craves. Augie’s indifference and criminal past as the "White Dragon" serve as significant plot points juxtaposed against Chris's attempts to forge his own identity as Peacemaker.
