Howard "The Captain" Archibald

Father of Nate Archibald, Howie is a white-collar criminal and a cocaine addict. He leaves to escape arrest, still addicted to cocaine and Nate punches his father before the Captain could get into his limo and fled to Dominica. When he returned to NY, to take Nate and his mother with him, Nate gave him a choice. Either go back to Dominica and never speak to his family again or turn himself in to the police. The Captain decided to do the right thing and chose to turn himself in.
