Father Terrier

• Initially he's the kindest to Grenouille. He also pays attention to the sense of smell. “He breathed the scent of milk and cheesy wool... it was a pleasant aroma.” “He's used to the smell of your breast.” He's also described with smells, said to have a “light odor of vinegar”.
• However, Grenouille's fascination with scent, even as a baby, terrifies him and he begins the pattern of people discarding Grenouille after they begin to fear him. Even people who also rely on scent are repulsed by Grenouille, since they don't understand it.
