Hey everyone, I have a PC who's backstory includes seeking his father who left the family prior to the pc's birth. He's a full-blooded elf from Kyonin who was cast out of his small community within the region as it was suspicioned that he was not a pureblood elf. The pc has been the victim of a great deal of bigotry and seeks his father in order to prove to his community that he is, indeed, an elf. He then plans to rebuff any attempts to welcome him back into the clan.
I'm looking to find an npc in the AP who I could create a backstory for as this pc's father. If I need to fudge his race and make him an elf, that's fine so long as it doesn't interfere with the trajectory of the AP. Would be great if he were an evil npc that the party has to fight so that, after he discovers his father's identity, he is then forced into the choice of attempting to destroy him or not.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts you can offer!

Justice Ironbriar in #2, The Skinsaw Murders.
He's evil, but he's also an elf IIRC.
Yes, Justice Ironbriar. You could also let Tsuto be Justice Ironbriar's son, making him the PCs half-brother (and Ameiko's half-brother, with Ameiko then not being related to the PC).
Lord Kaijitsu + Lady Kaijitsu --> Ameiko
Ironbriar + Lady Kaijitsu --> Tsuto
Ironbriar + PCs mother --> PC
Thanks for the thoughts! Ironbriar is a great idea. The only issue is that they’re just about to encounter him and I haven’t dropped in any clues to the pc about it but maybe I can make it a surprise in the moment.
The input’s very much appreciated, thanks!
