Rey's dad is actually a failed Palps clone per outside sources. Just before his body's death he jumped his spirit into a partially completed clone on Exegol and his men there continued to try to create a body that could contain his power without deteriorating. Rey's dad is one of their attempts that survived, but had no Force potential at all. Palps hated that but allowed him to live for the potential of carrying on the Palpatine line the natural way.
