I hope you haven't read the manga and only watched the anime episodes so far. You have no idea how wrong you are. Seigen isn't a jerk in the least. You're on a wikia, so I'm guessing you don't mind spoilers so here goes:

Seigen has a cold exterior, he is ruthless and efficient in his work. He emotionlessly kills all Kegare and its implied that he does so because Basara feed off of the negative emotions of humans. He is strong, he is skilled and he is experienced. Far more so than most of the other characters, and definitely more so than the kids in the series (Rokuro, Benio, Ryougo, Mayura, Shimon, etc.). He is familiar with the horrors of the world, far more so than those kids, and thus he just naturally maintains that cold persona.

However, as I said, its not his true feelings. Its just a cold "persona" that he maintains. Seigen is very caring, and paternal feelings? He cares greatly for Mayura, his daughter, and even harbors paternal feelings towards Rokuro, something you'll see later on in the series. He left Mayura and his wife out of concern for involving them in his affairs, and wishes that Mayura wouldn't call him Dad because he can never be around for them. Furthermore, he doesn't want Rokuro to become an exorcist ever again because of the Hiinatsuki Tragedy, and how greatly it impacted Rokuro. It isn't an exaggeration to say that Hiinatsuki was traumatizing to Rokuro, and Seigen couldn't bear to see that kind of Rokuro. Having him estrange himself from anything to do with impurities, and just living a normal life away from all that would be several times easier on Rokuro. I can go on, but the point is that, putting it bluntly, Seigen is all bark and no bite. A rough personality on the outside, but a loving, caring softy on the inside. Basically the most hardcore kuudere to ever exist.
