Cater seems friendly with the prefect, trying to invite himself to an overnight stay at Ramshackle during his third appearance in the story and telling the prefect not to be nervous during a Book 2 visit to Savanaclaw, because “Cay-Cay’s got your back.”
He also is sure to keep the magicless prefect involved in the mock game of Spelldrive against Savanaclaw students by telling them to “read their movements and convey them to us”.
After Book 2 he also announces he wants to join the prefect’s team in the Spelldrive exhibition match, much to Ridde’s confusion.
Outside of the main story Cater adopts Grim and the prefect immediately onto his team during Beanfest risking his own safety to protect them according to Trey, who says, “You won’t last much longer protecting Grim and the prefect. This is where your road ends.”
He looks out for Jade as well during Beanfest, though we do see him sacrifice Deuce to the other team by sending him into a trap, saying, “the less experienced freshmen should get dibs on the gear” and then hiding behind a tree.
Cater may acknowledge Grim more than any other student, staying on top of Grim’s antics during Firelit Sky and telling the player to “take a lead from Grimmy’s book” and “chillax sometimes” in a voice line.
He also draws a picture of Grim in ketchup during his culinary crucible vignette.
