In The Human Factor, Janette brings her ward, Patrick, to Toronto—ostensibly to see his Uncle Nicholas (meaning Nick Knight). However, Janette's real intention is to hunt down and kill the murderer of her lover, Patrick's father Robert. Of course, she cannot take the boy with her while she does this, so she leaves him with his Aunt Peggy. (We don't know on what side of the family the relationship is.) Patrick and his aunt are rescued by Nick Knight. We do not know what comes of them after that.
