[etherealhued]

is that eric dane? of course not, that’s WYATT ANDERSON, a forty three year old SINGLE DAD who works at ANDERSON & CO as a lawyer. his friends say he’s STUBBORN, but also describe him as CARING. 

life before castleport/or in castleport since childhood

wyatt was born and raised in new york city. his parents were both white collar employees spending most of their days at work and leaving wyatt to be raised by his nanny.  once he turned 18, wyatt joined the navy to get away from his parents and never looked back. only speaking to his nanny, who had raised him from the age of 5 to 17, who he always considered his mother. while wyatt was working for the navy, he decided to take some classes and that’s when he realized he was interested in becoming a lawyer. always dealing with the hot debates that came up on the ship. once he was done, he decided not to re-enlist after 8 years and went to law school. (he completed his undergrad while in the navy)  it was in navy, that he met his wife emily. right from the start they had an adventurous relationship and went through many hardships, but they were able to work through it and got married after wyatt graduated from law school and passed the bar exam. wyatt knew he loved emily from the minute he saw her. normally, he was quite the ladies man and didn’t care to have a family - but emily changed that for him. when they learned they were expecting, wyatt knew he was going to be the best father that he could, considering he didn’t have one growing up. then his daughter iris was born and they couldn’t have been happier with their new bundle of joy. that was until one night wyatt and emily got into a fight over the fact emily wanted to re-enlist in the navy and wyatt was heavily against it, since he was worried about what could happen and they had a daughter now. emily ended up taking a drive, wyatt worried about her when she didn’t come home - until police showed up at his door telling him their had been an accident. emily was involved in a car crash, when someone had ran a red light. she was currently at the hospital - but when wyatt got there it was too late. the doctors told him she didn’t have any brain activity and she was gone. wyatt decided to take her off life support after saying their goodbyes and bringing their daughter to see her one last time. 

life in castleport as an adult

wyatt reluctantly moved to castleport, to be closer to his wife’s family after she passed away. his daughter still being a newborn, he needed all the help he could get even though moving near his emily ( his wife’s) family was the last place he wanted to be. they blamed him for her death, the reason being they had gotten in a fight before she left the house that night and she was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light. wyatt already blames himself enough for this and didn’t need anybody else throwing the blame at him. wyatt convinced his best friend to also move to castleport and they opened their law firm after they both got settled in castleport.  wyatt loves his daughter more than anything and would do anything to protect her. making sure he’s home by dinner every night and reading her bedtime stories until she falls asleep. iris is his whole world and nobody else matters to him, which is why he hasn’t been in a serious relationship since his wife died. sure, he’s had hookups but they’ve all been meaningless except for the sex.
