Interpreter:

Like his brothers Thomas and Arthur, John fought in World War I in the cavalry and as a machine gunner. In a better mood than his brothers, he shares with them the famous temperament of the Shelbys. Although he is not as ruthless or reckless as Thomas as Arthur, he is just as dangerous and capable. Sometimes irresponsible in nature, he knows how to be thoughtful and careful when family matters are at stake.
His wife Martha died unexpectedly, so he finds himself alone with four children to raise and decides to marry Lizzie Stark, a prostitute. Since Thomas did not approve of this choice because of Lizzie's profession, he arranged a marriage with Esme, a member of the Lee family, which resolved a dispute between the two families. Although initially reluctant to this union, he eventually agreed. He will have two more children with Esme.
