Well i have to give the obligatory "my father is the toughest person that i know" but for me it's actually true. He wasn't really a father to me but regardless i'll try to keep it as short as possible
First off my father is brutally strong, like stupid strong. He's an industrial dry-fall painter and has been swinging around gigantic jugs of paint and essentially cleaning up construction sites as well since he was 20 years old. His back looks like the great wall of china and he feels like a boulder to the touch. Second, if you meet him you would never realize he is bat shit crazy. He is the most easy going person and can take all sorts of shit from people and not care but if you mess with his family in anyway shape or form he becomes your worst nightmare from hell. He is Cretan and if anyone knows anything about the island of Crete it's that there has historically been a long tradition of vendetta just like in Sicily and other southern islands of europe. We have a very interesting history which i will list off as quickly as possible but my great great great x's 100 grandfather was known as the "Turk Killer" in Istanbul at the time when the ottoman empire took over Greece. Our family migrated to Istanbul and apparently he went around killing Turkish people in his spare time and they gave him the nickname "Turk Killer" which later became the history of our last name (it's probably a bullshit story but my father believes it nonetheless), My great grandfather is a war hero in Crete for supplying the arms to the guerilla camps during the invasion of Crete by the Nazi paratroopers. If any one knows anything about that particular invasion it's that although Crete was lost to the Germans we kicked the absolute dog shit out of them and gave some serious resistance before they could eventually overtake it, My family is currently in a decades long feud with another family in a neighboring village for what ever reason but as time progresses it's not taken as seriously.
The point of mentioning this stuff is because my father has been intoxicated his whole life with these sorts of stories and he believes that hes still a cow boy in the wild west, Crete is known for it's gun and knife culture and zero tolerance of disrespect and it really influenced his behavior. Just one quick story so you can get the idea of what he has done in the past. My brother had some stupid school yard beef with some kid when he was 18 years old that lasted for quite some time. My father kept telling him to defend himself and to learn how to deal with it but it simply kept continuing. My father decided to talk to the boys father and talk it out instead and it seemed to have been fine for a while after that but a few weeks later this same boy decided to jump my brother with a few of his friends and they beat him up really bad and this was seriously bad timing because my grandfather had just passed away a couple days before so he was really not in the mood for this. Don't ask me how but my father found out where this guys father worked, waited for him in the parking lot to finish up and when he came outside beat the crap out of him, put a pistol in his mouth and told him if he ever heard of any other issues between them he will come back and blow his brains out
