Meiko Katsaros
Kenji is Meiko's son. She disapproves of the fact that he is dropping out of law school. He hasn't told her that he is Talos, especially because of her negative view on superheroes. All this leads to a strained relationship. However, she is shown to be worried about him since if you introduce yourself as his friend, she states that he has a lot of so-called "friends" but that doesn't mean that they really care about him.

Your Character
He treats you with respect since you are his boss. He originally has a negative relationship with your Superhero identity, shoving you out of the way and calling you "rookie". After he discovers that you are a Superhero, he suggests that the two of you become crime fighting partners. Later you have the opportunity to go to dinner with him and his mother.
