I've been thinking a lot more about the implications of a parallel like this between Wolfwood and Knives and honestly i'm going a little insane.
Their whole thing is defending their family. Knives is a man deeply affected by childhood trauma, who wants to liberate his sisters from the abuse of humans and wants to keep his brother safe, also from humans. It's just that he wants to do it in a selfish, controlling way that deprives all of them of their autonomy and hurts others along the way.
What do his actions lead to? The entire backstory of Wolfwood, a man deeply affected by childhood trauma, who wants to save the orphanage he lived at as a child from abuse under Knives' hand, and wants to save his brother from the same thing. Knives effectively caused the exact thing to happen to others that he was trying to fix in his own family.
Neither of them know their brothers at this point, not really. Knives and Vash separated lifetimes ago. Wolfwood hasn't had a full, calm conversation with Livio since he vanished as a child, he doesn't even know about Razlo. They've both changed a lot.
Their brothers still love them despite this, even if Knives is a creep for the majority of the story. In Vol14, he's only at peace enough to die when he sees that Vash has woken up and will be fine.
LR and Vash are both defined in a huge part by their dedication to a "mission" from a person they've looked up to since childhood. Chapel is a manipulative dick of course, but he was the only person they believed they had, of course they'll stay loyal. As for Rem, she really was the only person Vash had as a child, other than Knives. Carrying out her legacy by keeping humanity alive is the thing that kept him alive for 140 years.
This is the post i meant btw, it sums it up in a way less messy way than i just did. i kind of described it wrong though, it doesn't say ww sees livio in vash
Vol9 chapter 4 / Vol12 chapter 8
I saw a post the other day explaining how Wolfwood and Livio are a parallel to Knives and Vash, (and how Vash and Wolfwood see a "better" version of their sibling in each other) but i can't find it anymore. I didn't think it was that explicitly called out in canon
