Kathryn Cooper

Kathryn First makes her debut in Season Seven and it is not until Season eight that we learn her surname

Kathryn Cooper is the chairman of the executive oversight committee of the relatively new Inter Dimensional Entity Control agency. Since it was formed from people being seconded in from other government agencies, the committee came from mostly those from the parent agencies.

Kathryn became chairman after beating Mr Vee to the post on the untimely death of Mr Gregory Sanderson, her predecessor.

Kathryn is firmly in the camp of those who believe in dealing with governing forces in the Mystical Realms and treating them as allies. When Rebecca Sands was detained it was her who was called, when new in the job to request Finger on Trigger confirmation of Rebecca's termination. A request which she unhesitatingly refused. After the crisis concerning the Magnus Timor had past she insisted on visiting Rebecca in person to apologise.

Over time her job as chairman seems to have evolved, where the committee, have become more like a board of directors, with herself being equivalent to a main director, on the same footing as directors of other more routine agencies, like the NSA and the FBI.

Kathryn has had to learn the art of Washington Politics to keep the IDEC out of the control of the sceptics, and after the defeat of the Magnus Timor, because of a disastrous mission to try and liberate the central city on the Mystical Realms, she was forced keep Mr Vee as her deputy and close down operations in the UK and bring all the remaining technical personnel from England over to Washington

Kathryn answers to a secret Homeland Security based congressional committee on behalf of the IDEC.

She is also, effectively Colonel Samuel Peters commanding officer, even though she is a civilian.

Kathryn has never visited the Mystical Realms, although she has met with beings from there, mostly leprechauns from Ireland's G2 Special section.
