[edit] Biography
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Mila's Father was once the richest man on Windfall Island, along with his beloved daughter, Mila. They were both snobbish, and lived comfortably in the Auction House.
During his rich lifestyle, Mila's father owned eight vases which he kept at the bottom floor of his house. If Link were to ever smash one or more of these vases, Mila's Father would force him to compensate at 10 Rupees a vase. If Link refused to pay for any of the damage, the rich man would angrily kick him out. Every night, Mila's father would allow Zunari to use the lower floor of his house to run his auctions.
As Mila has long Hylian ears, the Helmaroc King mistakes her for Princess Zelda and kidnapped her under the orders of Ganondorf and took her to the Forsaken Fortress.
Mila's father, who loves her dearly, began spending the majority of his money on finding her. When Link speaks to him, the rich man, begged the young hero to save Mila, to which he agreed.
After Tetra's Pirates brought Mila back from the Forsaken Fortress, they forced her father to give them the rest of his wealth as a ransom fee. As a result, he has now moved out of his two story house and roams around a tree near the town entrance, effectively mirroring the transformation of Maggie's Father, and does not have the financial security that he once had.
Regardless of all this, he is happy because his daughter has been returned to him. Also, he is very proud of Mila, who has became Zunari's apprentice in order to earn money to support the family's crisis. However, her father became worried about her sneaking out at night, even though he never found out that she attempted to rob Zunari's shop.
If Link speaks to Mila's father, he would remember the young boy who promised to rescue Mila, but did not. Apparently, as it were the pirates who returned her to her homeland, her father did not know of Link's contribution to this rescue.
