Emmanuel Character

A friend back in 2009 I based him off. but that friend decided to leave and vanish from the minds of those who cared about him. i still have no idea where or what had happened to him.
I made him the lead character females father, and i have kept him consistent through the whole book series. A good back story, a personality funny yet honorable. He became more serious at the end of the 2nd book.
The deciding parts for his future are becoming more and more easier. A lead character at some point is usually killed off by a 3rd or 4th movie. But a time to kill him off for me is more suitable for 8th or 9th book. that's if i kill him off at all.
