Don Lucas is Gavin's own dad, and his only surviving parent. When Gavin was a preteen, Don lost his wife, Lucy, to an armed robber. Since then, he has become lovesick and rushed into relationships so fast, that he broke off with them within a few weeks if they wouldn't satisfy him. This put Gavin in a state of doubt and dread on finding someone who'll be his stepmom, despite the many altercations. But, Don eventually found love from his old flame, Lolita Micholi, whom they'd met since their cosmetology class in high school. He then decided to have her as Gavin's legal guardian and soon his fiancé, then his 2nd wife despite being one of the state's wardens; however, he never cared for Gavin whom developed a toxic relationship with her. He seemed neutral to Gavin's/Lolita's domestic conflicts, even when she was belittling him for his personal interests in the paranormal, to which Lucy supported as he was growing up amongst other things.
By the time Gavin turned 20 one autumn, he eventually left the neglectful Don and abusive Lolita behind as he found an apartment in downtown Sleepy Hollow thanks to the Classifieds. He had been settling there ever since, and he had an estranged relationship from his parents. He never wanted to see either parent ever again cause of their narcissistic actions. Not even when Lolita died and became a dark, menacing spirit intruding Gavin's mind, or when he reluctantly accepted Don as Gavin and Jenny were finding last-minute stragglers during the Rapture. Despite his doubts, Don grew proud of what his son had become and admitted that he was too weak to defend him from Lolita, ever since Lucy passed.
Gavin never saw his dad since, nor did he ever called him. Don's fate was unknown, till his kid found out he's still reopening old habits as he kept rushing into online relationships, only this time he fell for someone from the Philippines; Gavin was completely against the idea on moving away from the US to a third-world country overrun by poverty, weak economy and their...sensuous reputation. There were many lethal arguments, including Don saying that Gavin doesn't have a choice as he has POA over him! Gavin became estranged from him again, just as before, and he followed Jenny's advice in hiding in DC, and soon Basin Falls.
Gavin then went on a personal journey up Mount Purgatory, and he vowed to have his self-centered old man to be damned for eternity, and let only God decide his fate. He also ranted that Don'll never meet his late wife ever again! Since Gavin woke up from his spiritual journey, Don's fate remains unknown, though it's quite possible that he deserved his sudden fate.
Trivia[]
- Don was based off of Ikran's father such as his similar looks and tastes. Not to mention being neutral for Lolita. With his name meaning world leader, man. And his ideal actor is Bruce Willis who looked strikingly similar to him.
