A popular theory at the moment is that his dad was also a spy, possibly also Ostanian. And his father did what Twilight is supposed to do at the end of Strix IE leave the wife and kids behind and move on.

Of course maybe his father is actually dead and was just a hardass to him because he deserved it with nothing shady going on. The Ostanian sympathy is just a red herring and his father was simply not an idiot that believed propaganda.
