Paul MaCockenshipiel

Paul MaCockenshipiel was the first husband of Allura McCoy and father of Chrissie MaCockenshipiel. While not much is known about him, it was implied that he was rather sexist: he had eleven wives before Allura, and always got a divorce once a girl was born.

Death
When Chrissie was the firstborn with Allura, Paul appeared to have finally had enough and committed suicide shortly after she was born. Allura kept this from Chrissie until she was 16, but unknowingly told her the truth the day the young girl was forced to leave by Susan Wise for getting into a relationship with Mew.

In reality, Paul had a change of heart on the day of his death, deciding to apologize to all his ex-wives and their children then work hard to raise Chrissie. While walking to the hospital, he was murdered by Susan for this exact reason; she proceeded to forge a suicide note.

Hence, both Allura and Chrissie vehemently hate the Great Madam.
