His parents worked in a factory producing crossbow, and there he met a pair of twins his age whose parents also worked there. The two energetic, rambunctious girls could not have been any different from the bookish, calm Cathek, but the three became inseparable friends throughout their early years. The twins often got into trouble, much to Cathek's chagrin, but he went along to take care of his friends anyway. He dreamed of becoming a Yugash scholar, and was often buried in books except when he was out with Kage and Mai.<br/><br/>When he was eleven, the twins were sent to a prodigious dance school after impressing a group of Champions with a performance, and though Cathek was saddened to be separated from his two best friends except for the occassional visit, he nonetheless understood and encouraged them.<br/><br/>At fifteen, Cathek was finally able to travel to the Metropolis of Kadar in Yugash, and applied to one of the universities. He showed enough skill at reasoning and analysis that a thaumaturge was asked to scan his soulgem, but once they learned that none of his past incarnations were gifted scholars, he was rejected. Frustrated by the senseless rejection, he spurned his scholarly passions and focused on working at the factory. The twins had become successful dancers, and Cathek would watch their performances whenever he could, even becoming romantically involved with Kage. They were happy together, until the twins both Exalted during a performance, and though Cathek did his best to maintain the relationship, Kage was too focused on her Exalted pursuits to continue, and the two broke it off with the promise to remain friends, though this only fueled Cathek's bitterness.<br/><br/>He continued working at the factory, eventually being promoted for his wits to a slightly less menial positions. Instead of assembling crossbows, he was assigned to supervising transports. While Cathek was on a trip to Kamak to transport materials back to Claslat, the Gunstar came under attack by Kimbery's swarms. A wounded behemoth made its way into the Gunstar and terrorized the city, until it came upon Cathek. He saw no means of escape, and rather than cower and die he chose to stare the monster down and die on his feet. At that point, he felt a surge of power and purpose as the blessing of Luna came over him, and Cathek laughed as he charged forward, and with timely help from the Deliberative Army, took out all his frustration's at life's unfairness by bludgeoning the monster to death.<br/><br/>He has since joined the Gunstar Defense Line, having earned the title of The Raving Behemoth for his ferocity in battle, fighting all threats to the Gunstar with unmatched brutality. He has also reconnected with his two childhood friends, and upon meeting Kage again he felt the tug of the supernatural bond between them, marking them as mates. Though they've agreed not to start a relationship again, the two are close friends, though Cathek still wants more. An experienced Lunar in the Defense Line called Kyruko Cinna took Cathek under his wing, concerned that the Lunar's rage would lead him to his death. He has begun teaching Cathek martial arts, instructing him on how to focus and control his anger. Though it can be frustrating for Cathek, he respects the old Lunar sifu a great deal.<br/><br/>Unknown to all but Kage, Cathek still entertains his intellectual passions, studying history and the occult. He has a talent for analysis and maybe later even Sorcery, but refuses to actively pursue such things. But perhaps with the right push...<br/><br/>Cathek still serves ferociously in the Defense Line, as well as doing occasional work with the Void Hunt, which prompted him to seek out different Heart's Blood, all while continuing his training in martial arts under Cinna. Having mastered the Lunar Hero Style, he intends to focus on learning the expansion charms before movibg on to another style.Since Kage was crystallized and fell into the Pole Of Oil, Cathek dives in regularly in search for her in the form of an Oil Slick Herder, guided by Mai who reads the Loom of Fate. Between searches he had a few flings with Mai and helps the Sidereal raise her three daughters, becoming something of an uncle for the girls. However, his relationship with the Live Wire Sisters took a step in anothet direction when Mai encouraged her daughters to seduce a certain gentle Lunar who was also a skilled and caring lover. Unable or unwilling to resist the sisters' advances, Cathek found himself pulled into a fling with the girls as well.</div></div>
