A former sheriff, Julian is David's grandfather and father of Wesley and Frank. Julian is an imposing man who seeks to bend everyone and everything to his will. He is angry when Wesley arrests Frank and apparently sends a group of hired hands to break into Wesley's home to free Frank. Julian is unaccustomed to having anyone refuse his orders and David notes that Frank's suicide is covered up so that Frank can be given a burial suitable for the war hero and beloved physician some had thought him to be.
