Caden is in his 2nd year on the Pepper Box staff, and pretends to loathe it. He joined the Pepper Box because his sister advocated for Stein's personality and he delivered (plus, journalism is a one-way ticket to upsetting the government). In addition to working on the school newspaper, they also read, write, and dream of tax evasion. In the future, Caden wants to pursue a career in journalism, with a little bit of science fiction novels written on the side "so that his legacy isn't obscured by a CIA cover-up".
