Caden

Played by Billy Howle

For several years at the beginning of his life, Caden experienced the love and affection of both his parents. But when Kathryn was sent away, the long process of shaping Caden into a suitable heir began. Max’s lessons in power and control bore fruit when Caden was appointed the youngest ever Editor of The National. But his high-powered existence is all an act; Caden is struggling in the shadow of his father, overwhelmed by the role, failing to live up to his father’s brilliance and turning instead to drugs, drink and anonymous sexual encounters.
