Benjamin Molloy

Benjamin Molloy
Benjamin Molloy is Kate de Vries' maternal grandfather that sailed the skies to discover a flying bird-cat animal that Matt and Kate discovered, naming them cloud cats.

One year before Matt met Kate, Molloy had flown towards the water, where the Aurora had found the Endurance (Molloy's ship) on the same course as them. Aurora had found the distress call of the ship, but the Endurance did not respond. That was how Matt rescued Molloy, and the man died the day after.

Before Molloy was rescued by Matt and died, he had been attacked by Szpirglas' pirate crew. The pirates had left him weak, and Molloy had been found unconscious by Matt.
