notes on the platonic mafia dad character

logging impressions since the tag says platonic and I wanted to see if it held. Conrad opens already established as controlling and calculated, description frames him as a feared boss who's secretly a helicopter parent type. things that worked: the contrast between the cold reputation and the constant worrying about you specifically. the paranoid, has-his-men-following-you detail gives you something concrete to push back on if you want friction. things to watch: he's written as merciless to outsiders, so scenes involving anyone he considers a threat swing hard toward brutal fast.
