Christian Rasmus Holmes IV, better known as the father of Elizabeth Holmes, played an instrumental in the Theranos founder’s life. Hulu’s The Dropout depicted the moments in her teens when she found out that her father had lost his job at Enron. In the show, Theranos founder comes home to find her dad at home watching the news of Enron’s collapse.

Christian IV says, “They lied to me about everything. The whole company was a fraud”. Meanwhile, his wife Noel breaks the news to Elizabeth and her brother Christian Holmes V.

Christian’s job often shifted their family from place to place. This had made him guilty which Elizabeth understood. So she wrote a letter to console him which read, “What I want out of life is to discover something new, something that mankind didn’t know was possible to do. it’s big on science.”

Christian IV and his wife Noel Holmes Daoust married on 6 September 1975 in Great Falls, Fairfax, Virginia. They have been together ever since.

He explained in his memoir, “There was a weird situation where my parents kept telling [Holmes] to invite her parents, and they just kind of assumed that she did. And then my grandparents were talking to Elizabeth’s parents on the phone, and Elizabeth’s parents were completely unaware she was having a 30th birthday party, so it didn’t seem she was very close with her parents at all.”
