EXACTLY. I've seen people try to defend him like "oh he was sent away and couldn't come back and blah blah blah" and I'm like no. He hasn't even made an ATTEMPT to come back. His sister has been abused, abandoned, "died," had a funeral, revealed that someone tried to assassinate her (which was big news considering her step sister full on got arrested so I'm pretty sure everyone in high society knew), then someone attempted to assassinate her AGAIN, and what, he's off adventuring with his friends? I cannot stand him, and we haven't even met his character yet.
I'm still just sitting here waiting for the absentee brother to finally show his stupid face. This is the second time someone tried to assassinate his sister and he's still nowhere to be found. Such a great older brother.
