Dad



Dad is a character in Homestuck. He is John Egbert's father, so he could be called Mr. Egbert. Dad is distinctly seen as having no facial features, a pipe where his mouth should be, and he wears a hat that looks vaguely familiar. He appears to be quite a giving man, leaving presents and encouragement for John all throughout the house on his birthday.

Dad appears to be a single father, as his wife has passed away due to an incident with a tall bookshelf, a ladder, and an unabridged Colonel Sassacre's. Her ashes are contained in a Sacred Urn, and a portrait of her toothy grin is displayed above the fireplace in the Living Room.

It could be speculated that Mr. Egbert is the Chosen Arbitor himself, as the notes and other clues point in the direction that Dad has been through a great deal of tribulation himself.

Dad unknowingly causes Strife to John, and uses his Guardian Rubric CoddleBrand ability perfectly. He can also Auto-Pastry His Artifact of Confection effectively as well.

While Dad most likely means well, it appears that John holds some angst toward his father as most teenage boys do, and isn't truly an antagonist or a protagonist in John's adventure.
