** Book 4 reveals that the Founder was this as well - he kept them his children locked in the castle (confining the girls to a single building) and was extremely strict with gender roles, training his sons to be an army of destructive killing machines and relegating his daughters to being [[BabyFactory baby factories]] to give him more giant soldiers. When his cruel son Orobaal murders his [[WhiteSheep only decent brother]] Aristobull, the Founder simply says that Aristobull was too weak to become king before naming Orobaal his heir. It's also revealed that it was the Founder's idea to [[BrotherSisterIncest pair his children with each other]] in order to make the next generation of giants even bigger, and those who were naturally disgusted at the idea were forced into it.
