Rua Potae was the disproving father of Wiremu (Scott Cotter). Rua dropped Wiremu and Tane (Dominic Ona-Ariki) to his brother in law – TK's (Benjamin Mitchell) and several weeks later showed disappointment in his son for trying to climb the water tank. In 2008 Rua was quick to judge his son for running over Tane and in 2009 supported TK's mission for a health care clinic at the family marae.
