Timothy, who is Chief of Clan Cathcart is of Scottish descent and a close relative of HenryCathcart and WilliamCathcart. He joined the Royal Navy in January 2021 and was appointed Warrant Officer to the Royal Navy before leaving in November of the same year. He returned to the Royal Navy after the BIOT incident in October of 2022, being appointed Warrant Officer to the Royal Navy once again. In February 2023, Timothy was commissioned as an officer and given command of the then 1st Carrier Squadron, now the Carrier Strike Group.

Military career
British Army
Timothy first joined the British Armed Forces in November 2018, enlisting as a trooper in the Life Guards of the Household Cavalry. During his time in the Household Cavalry, which lasted for nine months until the decommissioning of the regiment, Timothy was promoted to Lance Corporal and earned the Marksman Qualification badge. While in the Household Cavalry, Timothy served alongside the now Commandant of the Household Cavalry MisterSett and Chief of Air Staff RoboChainGunner.
After the decommissioning of the Household Cavalry in August 2019, Timothy was transferred to the Coldstream Guards at the rank of Lance Sergeant as part of the initial staff tasked with starting the regiment. While serving in that role, Timothy was awarded the Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal in November 2019 for one year of continuous service in the British Army. It was during this time that Timothy became a member of the Service Prosecuting Authority. At the peak of his time in the Coldstream Guards, Timothy attained the rank of Company Sergeant Major. Towards the beginning of summer 2020, Timothy was strained and felt he needed a break and thus briefly considered retiring from the army. The then Commandant of the Royal Tank Regiment RyanMountbatten offered Timothy to retain his role in the Service Prosecuting Authority if he were to transfer over to the Royal Tank Regiment as a reservist.
In June 2020, Timothy transferred to the Royal Tank Regiment at the rank of Corporal in the reserves. After a period of inactivity, Timothy returned to an active position in the Royal Tank Regiment to teach drill with his experience from the Household Cavalry and Coldstream Guards. Subsequently, Timothy was promoted to Sergeant. After the Royal Tank Regiment had been rebranded to the Royal Lancers, Timothy recieved an Honourable discharge in December 2020 from then Commandant JamieSandison with approval from the king.
Barely a month after retiring from the British Army, Timothy enlisted in the Royal Navy at the rank of Able Rate Second Class. He swiftly rose through the ranks and acquired three good conduct stripes, the maximum number a sailor can get. By April 2021, Timothy had achieved the rank of Petty Officer and was at the time a prominent instructor in the Royal Navy. After the retirement of Chief Petty Officer IvanMcDeer he took command of the then existant Trafalgar Squadron. After restructuring in June 2021 and the amalgamation of the multiple Surface Fleet squadrons into the Carrier Strike Group and Littoral Strike Group, Timothy was promoted to Chief Petty Officer in the Littoral Strike Group. In August of 2021, Timothy was appointed Warrant Officer to the Royal Navy, a position he held until November the same year. After a period of inactivity, Timothy discharged from the Royal Navy in late December 2021.
After the BIOT incident in October 2022, Timothy was invited to rejoin the Royal Navy at his previous rank of Warrant Officer to the Royal Navy in an effort to rebuild the Navy after a majority of staff had left to create their own group in protest of recent actions by the Group Staff in removing King George II. Together with other former esteemed members of the Royal Navy, Timothy aided in the effort to restart the Royal Navy. As Warrant Officer, Timothy was in charge of organising a new instructor corps capable of hosting regular and high quality events, a task he was successful in achieving. After serving for four months as Warrant Officer, on the 15th of January 2023 Timothy was commissioned for the first time in his military career. Assuming the rank of Midshipman, Timothy was set to take over command of the former 3rd Destroyer Squadron from Lt Cdr JohnKillen. One month after his initial commission, he was promoted to Sub Lieutenant, formally taking over command of the 3rd Destroyer Squadron. Roughly a month later, in April 2023 Timothy was Promoted to Lieutenant in tandem with a restructuring of the Royal Navy. Reorganising the 1st Carrier Squadron and the 3rd Destroyer Squadron into the Carrier Strike Group and the Littoral Strike Group. Subsequently, Timothy assumed command of the Carrier Strike Group, a position he holds to this day. On the 1st of May 2023, Timothy was promoted to Lieutenant Commander.
