Tord is the father of Edd,Matt and Tom.

Tord's favorites was matt and edd expect tom of course,because tord's wife died giving birth to tom which made Tord have a disliked toward him and brought him to the orphanage.

Tord somehow became the red leader and have two decisions:Become red leader and abandoned your favorite children or Don't become the red leader and live with your children. So he chose to be the red leader and abandon his two children which were later adopted by other parents.

Tord ,surprisingly,reunited with his children and just shut his mouth then kept it a secret to not tell them he's not their real father
