The dad from High School Musical should take notes. If Luchino’s dad can let him do magic tricks and torture, you can let Troy do his thespian shit and basketball!
Model parent aside from the “force your child into killing and torturing people from an extremely young age” thing and the "ignore the fact that it makes him physically sick and probably contribute to him feeling the need to repress that” thing and the “pass the burden of avenging a long-dead ancestor onto him even though he’s a literal child” thing and the “straight up disappear and abandon your son (as a young teenager) (immediately following his mother’s death) (giving him no choice but to lead an organisation he doesn’t actually want to be a part of) (taking all the best trained members of that organisation with you)” thing. Hey, at least he let him do magic even though he suggested different careers! real self-sacrifice
