Their mother is Margaret, the woman who Orville mentioned that he was married to for a period of time before finding out she was already married. The twins were young when their mother left them, being around 4 years old. The family joined the Van der Linde gang a few years later, and the twins ended up being raised by the gang members while their father dealt with his own battle of addiction.

The twins are somewhat estranged from their father, Ollie moreso than Karo. While Ollie views his father as pathetic and resents him, Karo feels a sense of responsibility towards him, being his daughter(and the older twin which she will never allow Ollie to live down), and often finds herself caring for him. Both do still love their father though, which can be seen in chapter 6 after Reverend Swanson gets sober. The twins spend their time with their father in Beaver Hollow and eventually leave with him at the gang’s downfall.
