Parson

Parson was low-class warrior, and is the father of Bardock, and grandfather to Goku and Raditz. He died around the time Bardock was only 12, and he remembers the promise to always protect his race. Bardock faces a mental image of Parson as part of his Doors of the Mind training.

Name
Parson's name is pun of Parsnip.

Appearance
Parson bears striking resemble to Future Gohan. He wore a similar armour to Bardock wore as a Saiyan Warrior before the planet's destruction, however the colour scheme was inverted. He was notably much taller than his sons, and grandsons.

Personality
Remembered by Bardock; Parson was proud Saiyan warrior, and displayed a social attitude. Parson displays a similar stubbornness to Bardock. He was head strong, blindly loyal, and even once respected Frieza thinking of him as benefit rather than a threat. However he also displayed the typical fondness of battle of Universe 7 Saiyan, and would often push his son whilst training him even when he was barely able to move, and on brink of death.

Great Ape
Like all Universe 7 Saiyans; Parson was capable of transforming into a Great Ape, and his form remarkably much bigger than the traditional size. The real Parson was incapable of talking like Vegeta could, but however in Bardock's Doors of the Mind training his mental image self was capable of doing so.

Super Saiyan
Parson has never became a Super Saiyan, and was stated to be no where close to becoming one. However his mental self in Bardock's "Doors of the Mind" training was capable of transforming much to his son's surprise, and almost dominated him in battle.
