**Father:** a famous Medical Researcher

On year day when they were seventeen, he started twoing with Jarra Reeath for a short time, but he always wanted her to be with him or calling him, following him around and doing what he wanted, after two months she broke up with him. He refuses to accept that she doesn't want to boy and girl with him any longer and constantly asks her to go out with him. But since they both live in the same next step it isn't easy for Jarra to avoid him.

He was always whining to Keon about his father and pestering him to find out about his family, which he didn't do when he turned 14, so they could whine together about their rich alphan families dumping them. This annoyed Keon so he finally exerted himself to drive Cathan away by being overly sarcastic to him. Cathan wont go near to Keon if he can help it.

## Summary

### Earth and Fire

Cathan is studying art and plans on take Art classes at University, but later in the year when he is seventeen, the principle at their next step inspected his room and found "inappropriate" pictures in his room. He tried to brush it off as they being images of famous works of art from the long distant past, that he was studying for art class, but the principle didn't accept it and confiscated his lookup for analysis of more inappropriate pictures.

He helps Jarra study for her theory portion of her pilots license, but not without a price. In the summer he was seventeen he found out that his birth father would be on Earth for demonstrating a new regrowth tank being developed on Earth. Cathan found out where he would be. He got Keon (or more accurately, he got Jarra to ask Keon) to get a specific door code, which was to the building that the conference was held at.

Professor Reece of University Adonis and head of the organizing committee of the Alpha Sector Congress on Regrowth Techniques arrives at their next step with Cathan in tow. Professor Reece threatens them with calling Hospital Earth and making a formal complaint about Cathan and the way the principle is running their home. The professor accused Cathan of shouting insults at them and disrupting their conference. The principle lied to the professor and told him that if he filed a complain, Hospital Earth would investigate and find out the truth. But they really wouldn't have, instead Cathan would be sent to corrections.

### Earth Girl Trilogy

He is mentioned several times in the trilogy, such as the time Jarra took Fian to meet some of her Next Step group, including Cathan and Issette dumped a pitcher of Frizup all over him.

And the several times that he was interviewed by newzies about Jarra. He also thinks that Jarra is still his girlfriend and it should be him doing all of those heroic things that Fian has done.
