Who is Norman Caseway from The Engines of God and what is their importance?

Norman Caseway is the CEO of Kosmik Inc., and the main force behind a project called the Second Earth Initiative. Norman enjoys having the upper hand, and he likes to be intimidating. He seems to examine every move, and he observes every courtesy. He likes to think of himself as human's benefactor, a good deal of that self image likely stemming from Project Hope.

Caseway lives with his wife and daughter in the Observatory Suite of their building. His voice is described as rich and confident, and he speaks with precision. He is a small, middle aged man, who is overweight.
