Frank Ghavouri

Frank Ghavouri, of Moria, is the husband of Taisha and the father of Layna Ghavouri. He had a younger half-sister, Mrs. Fuhrman, who was born when he was about 10 years old; they shared a mother, but had different fathers. He strongly disapproved of her and her husband. When they died, he found himself the grudging guardian of his four and a half year old niece, Carol Fuhrman. His own daughter was five and a half at the time.

In sharp contrast to his dislike of his niece, Mr. Ghavouri is a doting father to his daughter Layna, and will never believe she could be anything but a little angel.

When Carol went missing, he put out an alert as a matter of form, but when the Wild Rover was located, Mr. Ghavouri was all too quick to declare Carol dead to him, as the ship, so full of 'disruptive' elements - including music - was beyond what he could bear.
