Good eye! He's the father of the boy in Lucia's quest. He's not actually Lucia's father, but it's easy yo make that mistake because the boy calls her "sister". It's just an honorary term of endearment. Lucia's conversation with the father makes it clear she's not related to the family.
The quests sections have taken much longer than I expected. Just setting up the line breaks takes quite a lot of time since you have to custom-fit each sentence to the width of the window where it is displayed. The available space for text in any window's changes depending on which portrait is displayed on the window's side. Some quests have two protraits covering up a large part of some text boxes. It's not enough to just have all the text displayed in a big block, the timings and groupings of text play a big part in telling the quest's story.
It was much easier in the original Japanese because they have no spaces between words and all their letters are perfect squares.
