Kiero DeVil

Kiero DeVil, also known as The Crooked Man, is the father of Ella DeVil and a magician whose limbs became excruciatingly crooked after being taken to Oz by a cyclone.

Background
Kiero practiced the darkest of magic in Suffolk, England, prompting his daughter Ella to flee the realm and relocate to Wonderland. Some time later, Kiero and his family are whisked away to Oz by a cyclone. Kiero receives multiple injuries caused by the storm, including his limbs becoming so crooked that he needs a cane. They stay at Hotel Viridis at Emerald City, although his other daughter Lucy gets married to a vampire and he turns his wife Margolotte into a stone statue, as he eventually finds her annoying.

Volume 3
Ella, while in Oz, is eventually led to her father by Glinda. Kiero explains to her how he got there, and informs her of Lucy's marriage to the Lord of Westenra, who is actually a vampire. He then introduces her to a bounty hunter named Fiyero, and sends the pair of them on a mission to rescue Lucy from Westenra.
