Description

Through his brother Eric and a then-girlfriend, Gethers received Norton as a gift. At the time, Gethers was an ailurophobe and "self-centered". With time, Gethers' relationship with Norton changed him as a person, and led to Gethers developing a relationship with his long-time companion, Janis Donnaud.
