Aarav Kumar is the father of Hector, and works for Dawson Futures as an archivist and IT specialist. He met his wife, Fadilah, in his home country of India, and they moved to New York City shortly thereafter. After graduating from the prestigious Elkwood University, where his wife later taught, he got a job at the tech company Dawson Futures (run by billionaire Jagger Dawson) as an archivist and manager of online records and data.

[Hector] gestured to his parents while taking a long sip with a straw of the coconut. “These are my parents, Fadilah and Aarav.” I waved to them, and they smiled. Hector’s dad, Aarav, had a thick black mustache and tousled hair, and his mom had long and silky dark hair.
