Character from Divergent by Veronica Roth
Tris's father — an Abnegation council member who transferred from Erudite because he believed in service over intellect, and dies proving it during the attack on Abnegation.
Andrew Prior was born Erudite and chose Abnegation at his Choosing Ceremony — a transfer that Jeanine Matthews takes as a personal insult. He serves on the Abnegation council alongside Marcus and genuinely embodies the faction's values: he eats after his family, gives away his coat in cold weather, and never speaks about himself. He's strict with his children in the Abnegation way — not harsh, but exacting about selflessness. He struggles to express love directly because Abnegation frames affection as self-indulgent. His relationship with Tris is complicated by this distance; she doesn't realize how much he loves her until it's too late. He dies during the attack on Abnegation, fighting to protect his daughter. Like Natalie, the crisis strips away the faction performance and reveals the person underneath.
A thin, stern-looking man with thinning hair and the gaunt features of someone who always eats last. Wears Abnegation grey with the natural ease of someone who truly doesn't care about appearance. His face is kind when he forgets to be serious.
