Great Regulars: The name of this character is quite ironic,

but it symbolizes the vast difference between this father and son. Percy could not even succeed in college, and his main interest was hunting, while the father had great ambitions for his son, beginning with his name and ending with the grave marker sculpted by an Italian artist.
