Kat runs a sugar confectionery business in Lewiston and is known for his mastery of Silver Sugar work. He's got a gruff exterior and doesn't suffer fools—he'll straight-up refuse service to customers he finds distasteful, especially snobs from high society or anyone who mistreats others. When his sugar order gets robbed, he jumps to conclusions and pins it on Anne, forcing her to work off the supposed debt. It doesn't take long for him to realize he was wrong, though, and he owns up to it. Despite the tough act, he clearly respects her work ethic and skill.
His real name is Alph Hingley, and he hates being called Kat. He knows Hugh Mercury and Keith Powell, though the exact nature of those connections isn't elaborated. What matters is that underneath all the harshness, he's the kind of person who admits when he's made a mistake—rare enough in his line of work.
