Cathleen Keiser

Cathleen Keiser is the mother of Keith in the comic.

Role in The Comic
Cathleen's citizenship documents were forged by her husband Cornelius, and Albion Alabaster, the now deceased Intelligence General. When Cornelius told Albion that he would leave Basidian islands with Cathleen, Alabaster said that Cornelius would have been "disgraced," but Cornelius replied that he did not care as he would have been disgraced anyway because his wife is a "westerner." Cathleen's murder at the hands of General Albion led to the death of her husband and the banishment of her son, Keith.

Cathleen is seen as the reason why Keith can choose not to follow orders directly because Cathleen is a Western Basitin, which means that it is possible for Keith to disobey orders. Basitins must follow orders because of their genes but it was said that Western Basitins don't have the same genes as Eastern Basitins.
