The Sakhalin family were members of the Zeon nobility and Norris Packard was
what both Western and Japanese feudal systems refer to as a "family retainer" --
he and his family was housed, fed, clothed, and paid a stipend that would later
become a pension in return for service as a man at arms. He seems to have
served Ginias Sakhalin in the capacity of a first sergeant, adjutant or aide de
camp (valet?) and was de facto guardian (in every sense of the word -- he was
probably her baby sitter when she was a child) and chaperon to Aina.
As in the case of most servants who actually raise the children, he stood in
loco parentis to her, an honorary uncle at the very least.
