In The Craft: Legacy, the movie ends with a twist—Lily's birth mother turns out to be Nancy Downs, one of the original film's four troubled witches, but her father's identity is never revealed. Based on what's provided in the two movies, his identity is very hard to say, but the answer to the question probably has something to do with where the first movie ended—with Nancy Downs in a mental institution—because this is also where she is introduced as Lily's birth mother at the end of The Craft: Legacy. Nancy's appearance in the institution raises a lot of questions about what she has been doing all this time. According to what Lily's adopted mother reveals and what the movie's director, Zoe Lister-Jones, has said, it unfortunately doesn't seem like Nancy's been doing well at all.
Lister-Jones has stated that Nancy Downs has a whole backstory external from and leading up to The Craft: Legacy, including that Nancy has most likely willingly locked herself away and given up her child in an effort to ensure their mutual safety. The director has also stated that "Lily was the product of rape," which logically means that Nancy was assaulted, but doesn't significantly narrow down the possibilities of who Lily's father is. In The Craft: Legacy, Helen tells Lily that her mother gave her to Helen and made her promise to protect Lily and never reveal her identity. It is not clear from the two movies who Nancy is trying to protect Lily from. However, it is most likely that she is trying to protect her from some combination of Nancy's own evil tendencies, the evil intentions of other parties, and perhaps even the person who raped her.
A big obstacle in identifying Lily's father is that it's not clear when The Craft: Legacy takes place. The first movie came out in 1996 and was presumably set in 1996 Los Angeles. If The Craft: Legacy is supposed to take place in 2020 Los Angeles, then it has been 24 years since Nancy was sent to an mental institution. The major question here is how long Nancy has been in the institution. If she has been there for 24 years, then it is clear that someone from the institution or someone who gained access to it is responsible for hurting her. The easiest assumption to make is that she has been in the institution ever since the last movie. Things are never easy of course, and the lack of a clear timeline makes it almost impossible to precisely deduce who Lily's father is. Here's every theory and possibility surrounding the identity of Lily's father, and how likely they are to be true.
A more realistic assumption would be that Nancy has been in and out of the institution dealing with her issues, and that after being raped, she committed herself there willingly and gave up her baby. Virtually anything can happen in The Craft 3, but if it centers on Lily's relationship with her mother, then the answer to the question of who is Lily's father will likely be answered there. Lister-Jones has said that The Craft: Legacy does set up another sequel, though she hasn't publicly discussed the details. Considering that the movie hasn't done well critically, it's not certain that those details will ever make it to the screen. That said, there are only a few real likelihoods as to who Lily's father could be.
One possible candidate for Lily's father is Manon. In the movies, he is represented as a father figure, for better or worse, to his followers. However, in the first movie, Manon is also a father figure to Nancy. She describes him as a powerful being, more powerful than God and the Devil; she says that Manon is Nature; Manon is Everything. After Nancy performs the Invocation of the Spirit ritual to call Manon, she says that she feels him running through her veins. She talks about him in a way that can be construed as sexual, then strangely whispers to him "I'm your daughter now," implying that any child of theirs would be a product of incest on a symbolic level. Though unlikely, it is possible that Manon passes his power onto others by raping them, as have many deities throughout the history of religion (the ancient Greek god, Zeus, for example).
However, Manon is inconsistently presented in the first movie both as a neutral entity and as a judgmental one. He seems to judge his followers and take away their powers if he believes they are doing wrong. As such, he hardly seems like the type of god who would rape his followers. Contrary to that point, the woman at the occult store in The Craft explains that magic is both loving and cruel, like nature, and that the only good or bad is found in the heart of the witch who practices it. Therefore, Nancy's rape may be a cruel punishment from Manon. Nancy was already being punished by losing her power, so any further punishment from Manon must mean that Nancy did something to provoke him. Either way, for Manon to become Lily's father by rape would add a very complicated layer to his character.
The only other possible candidate for Lily's father, other than a random rapist, would be Helen's boyfriend, Adam Harrison. In The Craft: Legacy, it turns out that he had wanted Lily's power all along. For him to know about Lily and lure her back to Los Angeles, he would also have to know about her birth mother, Nancy. Adam may have simply discovered Lily's existence through research, but it's also possible that he is the cause of her existence. He may have known that Nancy was a powerful practitioner, and, as a powerful warlock himself, decided to rape her to create a super-magical offspring. He probably didn't expect her to give up the baby and hide it from him.
Although this seems like a plausible scenario, it also seems too melodramatic. However, it does seem that the addition of Adam as a villain in The Craft: Legacy was done precisely in order to add more melodrama to the story, for better or worse. In The Craft, the witches experienced a more internal struggle with their own good and evil, whereas the evil in the sequel was decidedly more external. Having Adam as Lily's father would certainly increase the melodramatic tendencies of The Craft: Legacy, but it would also limit the franchise in ways that other choices for her father might not.
In The Craft: Legacy, the best hope for the identity of Lily's father would be that it serves as a MacGuffin for future movies - especially if Lister-Jones makes The Craft 3 - or that it creates a conflict for Lily to resolve. That said, the question of who is Lily's father is not as important a question as who is Lily herself. Likewise, while the revelation of Lily's mother is important to Lily's story, it is not as important as the decisions Lily makes on her own. Interestingly, this seems to be exactly why Nancy sent Lily away to begin with, so that she could be her own person and make decisions without the influence of her birth parents, whoever they may be.
