Personality:

The little bit of Pieter that remains, that wasn't beaten and forced out by his abused father, or sacrificed on his climb to Papa, is as kind as can be expected, usually shown through his cruelty. The man understands the idea of mercy, but has never felt the touch of it himself. He extends the courtesy only when he can see how it would benefit him, and feels nothing more.

As Papa, he is stoic and omnipresent. He seems to know everything before it happens, perhaps because of his informants, perhaps not, and he acts accordingly. The only affection he seems to be able to show is muted by his ice cold stare, and only seems to extend to the next generation of mobsters.

Overall history:

Born into a family with seven older brothers already, Pieter was never the favorite to anyone but his mother. Being born nearly did not help matters. Though he was in prime condition from his childhood, no one paid him the least bit of attention until the accident, and then things got worse.

His right leg was the only thing severely damaged, and though magic could have easily healed the wound before it festered and became permanent, Vladimir simply did not want to waste any bit of his vast fortune on the least important child he had, and so ignored it and the pleading of his wife.

Working through the pain, Pieter pushed himself until he could walk again, with the help of a cane. With no money for therapy, and no way to earn any, he simply worked through it, learning to show no pain or be ridiculed by his father and brothers. By the time he graduated from Durmstrang, he barely needed the cane at all. He married a pureblood that was sweet enough to bypass all his older brothers for him, and didn't pity him for his leg.

Her name was Lucy, and after giving him five beautiful sons, she died giving birth to their daughter, Iva, a sickly child who was the spitting image of her mother. Though he quickly was given a replacement wife to raise his children, Pieter was never the same. The small bit of kindness that had survived this long was gone from the man.

A week after his daughter turned 5, Pieter killed his father. By then, his brothers had all scattered or died mysterious deaths. His mother went into hiding quickly after, and he was the last Popov elligible to become Papa.
