The Chandlers: a sickly history

by slapstick.genius

Nicholas and his father Kestrel were alone in Pigeon Hole, due to Hermina's abusive nature. As a result, he became a psychotic lothario cum psychopath of both the army and the office. He moved up from class to class and harassed his wife Alice Frazetta with brutal force, although youngest child Adam kept him in good company for decades to come.

1. The lecherous Nicholas

Nicholas was born the only child of Hermina and Kestrel Chandler in 1904. He had a terrible childhood, with Kestrel the soft mannered drunkard being the only one who actually cared for him until the son reached his teenage years, since Hermina was both abusive and neglectful to them both.

As a teen and later an adult, Nicholas earned lots and lots of money from his office and army work, and wrote poems about his possible bisexuality on many of his diaries, as well as being a potent alpha and volatile lothario in both the office and the army. He was also Peter Palmer's and Christopher Cortlandt's teacher long before Carlotta 'Lottie' Cooney became their boss, which explains why both characters frequently harassed both of them, to the point of the bored and jealous youngsters founding two competitor businesses.

Two highly infamous pupils of Nicholas were Peter Palmer's Protestant younger foster sister Bess Bunsen and Nicholas's foster child for a time, Carlotta 'Lottie' Cooney. Peter Palmer and Christopher Cortlandt, both of whom good childhood friends, were both his fellow male protegees and later on intense rivals.
