### Family

Gregas is Amber's annoying younger brother. He is 5 years younger and moves to teen level the year that Amber leaves it.

### Teen Level

Gregas moves to teen level the same year that Amber leaves it and has difficulties with adapting to the change and fitting in with the other teens.

At the end of Borderline, Gregas decides to take Buzz's advice and move to one of the corridors that Level 20 teens live on so that he doesn't have to hide so much from the other teens.

## Summary

### Telepath

During Telepath there is only brief scenes with him.

Due to his lack of sociability he doesn't make friends with the other teens, so runs away from teen level and returns home. Their parents contact Amber to ask her to come and talk some sense into him about returning before anyone at teen level notices his absence.

Amber arrives at her parents' apartment on level 27 with Adika, two bodyguards and Lucas. Lucas ends up having a private chat with Gregas and gives him some pointers and a tactical plan on how to integrate within his teen corridor group. This works very well and to his family's relief, Gregas manages to make friends at last. He even chooses to celebrate his 14th birthday with his new friends rather than with his family.

### Borderline

During Borderline Gregas is caught up in a teen game, Blue Upway. While playing the game with his friend Wesley and a slightly older boy, Gregas is separated from the other two players and encounters a wild bee.

Gregas experiences a sudden insight that the Wild Bee wants to kill him. They are climbing up a ladder at the time, so Gregas hangs on tight and waits for the wild bee to get within range, then kicks him in the head so that he falls.

Once the wild bee falls, Gregas scrabbles up the ladder and finds Wesley. As they are trying to leave the maintenance area, Mira's strike team arrests them. Mira reads their minds the next day, unaware until then of his relationship to Amber (their Blue Upway names were Killer Rabbit and Coconut Crunch Cake). As soon as his identity is established, Amber is informed directly by Mira and then again by Mira's tactical commander Roden.

Amber ends up by having to read Gregas' mind to figure out what happened in his encounter and discovers the moment of the insight. She is shocked to realize that her brother is a Borderline telepath, and wants to spare him this knowledge for as long as possible.

However, she did not anticipate Gregas getting more insights once his ability was fully unlocked, which he finds distressing. He is given the option of learning the truth and being as curious as Amber herself, near the end of the book Gregas is finally told about Nosies and Telepaths and that Amber is a true Telepath.

He takes it surprisingly well. Buzz will counsel him for an hour each week. Following her advice, he eventually decides to move to a teen corridor group with teens who grew up in law enforcement level 20 and know all about telepaths. Amber is amazed how quickly he has adapted to the new situation and knowing about her abilities.

*I watched him walk away to join our parents, and gave a bemused shake of my head. The casual way that Gregas had said that, told me he’d accepted both his abilities and my own.*

### Adversary

Gregas is causing problems for Amber's strike team because he wants to help them defend the Hive. He has started lurking in hiding places to listen in on conversations and visiting Amber's unit every day. He has also managed to acquire one of the crystal units, probably one that Amber has lost, so listen in on their runs.

When Amber is trying to figure out how to tell Gregas who their G-grandmother was, he eagerly asks her if all of those people use to work for their g-grandmother, referring to Claire's old strike team. Amber is surprised that he already knows until she remembers that he has been hiding and listening to people when they aren't aware.

Amber introduces him to their g-grandfather, Wilder which excites Gregas and confirms his belief that he should be a strike team member. He just wont accept that he is only fourteen and has to wait until he goes through lottery. Wilder tells Gregas that he doesn't and probably wont have the physique to be a strike team member

Amber asks Wilder if he has any suggestions for what to do about Gregas and Wilder suggests that Gregas goes through teen Scout training. He then tells both of them that their grandfather had been a borderline scout with his own team, which Claire called a low-budget telepath unit. Amber asks about what a scout does and philosophically accepts that she isn't going to be able to keep Gregas out of all danger and has Forge sign him up for teen Scout training.
