Please tell the meaning of the following sentence.

He is more a father.

A honest man, he started to trade. (I doubt it is correct).

It requires more context to make sense- more a father than what/who, etc. On its own, it doesn't mean anything to me.

Sir
Yes. I do not know context. But I think I have gone through this which I do not rememeber now.
Kindly make any sentence using "is more a father" which makes sense.

"He is more a father than a brother to me." That is, even though he is my brother, he acts more like a father to me.
