Mr. Davis

Gary Davis (more commonly known as Mr. Davis by the foster home occupants) is the owner and caretaker of the NYC foster home that the Peters kids, Cole Jones, and the Abrams brothers live in, as well as a minor antagonist in Facing the Elements.

Physical Appearance
Mr. Davis is a former veteran, so he has a tall, muscular build, a stern face, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Not much is known about his attire, as it is never mentioned in the books.

Personality
Despite being a foster home caretaker, he is shown throughout the book to hate (or utterly dislike) children. He is also known to be sadistic, cruel, and condescending, as evidenced when he burns the only picture Jo has of her whole family to ashes and constantly refers to her as "it".
