Master Tarfful

Despite his initial harshness, Tarfful has a deeply caring and fatherly side, especially visible in his love for Incineroar before his betrayal and his growing affection for Jumbo. is a blend of his past trauma and his duties as a master, making him appear strict, short-tempered, and emotionally guarded due to the betrayal of his adoptive son, Incineroar. However, beneath this facade is a compassionate, fatherly, and devoted individual who is deeply caring, protective, and ultimately wise, particularly after accepting his own failures and learning to embrace the potential in his students, like Jumbo.
