Breda and Victor McQueen's Father was a gruff man, a farmer. He was a no-nonsense type. His daughter, Breda McQueen, used to watch him herd the pigs towards the abattoir with a big stick when she was a little girl. He used to shout at them to keep them inline. His daughter respected him.
He used to beat his wife Marguerite McQueen as well as his daughter. The first time it happened, it didn't seem real to his daughter. She was stood in the doorway near the room where she kept Louis Loveday captive. He was holding his wife roughly, fist clenched. Breda thought it was a game, a joke until she saw the tears in her eyes, he screamed at her 'Get out!'. Breda thought to herself 'You do not talk to me like that!'.
When Louis asks what happened to him, she replies 'he was a drunk. He fell down the stairs one night, banged his head...Dead, no less than he deserved'. She keeps his picture as a reminder that she survived the worst dad ever.
It was later revealed that Breda had murdered her father, piercing his head with a bolt gun used to kill pigs. She fed his remains to the pigs and allowed her mother to believe he'd abandoned them.
