Barnaphous Zethra (or Barney) is the father of [[Cait]] and [[Calla]] and a magister of the Sultanate. His position takes him far and wide, and led to his ill-fated journey to the [[Frost Marches]] with his daughters. In proper Jassiran fashion, he is both married to a noblewoman and a great admirer of a high-ranking temple harlot with whom he fathered his two children. Once retrieved during the events of [[Cat Call]], he will dedicate his expertise to studying the portal Calla disappeared through in the hopes of unravelling its mysteries.

<blockquote>''"Mr. Zethra's a man of deep surprises and pockets, [pc.name]. Don't let that roly-poly exterior fool you — I've known him since I was a kitten, and while he does tend to get in over his head he's a sharp man through and through."''<br>—[[Salwah]]</blockquote>

<blockquote>''"Mister Zethra is certainly a character!... Wizard, tinker, scholar, mathematician... and most importantly, a great dad. I'm only a little jealous of the twins for having such a great guy around for them. Even if he'd been nothing more than a peasant, I think Barnaphous would probably be one of the most pleasant men in the world to be around."''<br>—[[Amina]]</blockquote>
__TOC__
==Appearance==
<blockquote>''And then a much more reasonably-sized, if heavyset, fellow shuffles out from behind the old curtain on the stage, adjusting a loose-fitting shirt and a small red cap clinging to his head between a pair of greying feline ears. He smiles at your group, ''"Caitriss! Ah, it's so good to see you, sweetheart. And your friends, too."<br><br>

"Dad!" ''Cait cries, dropping her staff and running to her father's arms. The elder catfolk embraces her warmly, and for a moment their tails intertwine. Barnaphous is about the same height as his daughter, you note, huskily built with slightly darker skin and fur that might once have been a light brown, now largely grey. A short but full beard clings to his jowls, framing a smile so warm that it all but closes his eyes. His clothes are much more modest than Cait's, a full tunic and trousers, but the rich silks they're woven from speaks of wealth, but not overly flaunted.''</blockquote>

==Interactions==
After the events of [[Cat Call]], Barney will be available to interact with through [[Cait]]'s talk menu in [[Hawkethorne]]
* '''Thanks4Cait''': Thank the most major of the minor prestidigitators for his most enchanting contribution to the world. ''(one-time)''

* '''About Calla''': Talk with Barney about his missing daughter...
* '''Cait's Mom?''': Ask Barney about his sandy homeland across the sea.
* '''Randa''': Ask Barney about his noble wife, and her take on his relationship with Nadira. ''(after asking about '''Cait's Mom?''')''

* '''Survey''': Bring both Cait and her father to the temple ruins up atop the hill.'' (during the events of [[Divine Pussy]])''
