Along with any sort of rep come at least a vague description, and the cat ears are quite a bit of a giveaway, so its not that big of a jump, also you stated your rep was "a Kat with eight lives" not cat, so your name is in your rep. Combined with the fact that there probably aren't a whole lot of mercs in a scenario where a majority of earth population has died. I just didn't think that it would be too difficult for Valrassh to have heard of your rep.
