Noah Lyman — a prominent New York attorney and former partner at Debevoise & Plimpton — is the father of Josh (Joshua) Lyman. He functions as an off‑stage patriarch whose professional stature, establishment ties, and eventual death (noted in episode material as occurring the night of the Illinois primary) shape Josh's background, moral bearings, and political posture. Mentioned rather than present, Noah's career and absence reverberate through family and policy conversations and inform Josh's motivations.
