 This close relationship could, of course, explain the distance which is always kept between Templar and Pat Holm – if they were close it would be easy for many of the Saint's enemies to revenge themselves on her or her child, something which nearly happened early in Templar's career in "The Last Hero".Ultimately a brief reference to Holm was included in the final Saint novel published under Charteris' tenure, "Salvage for the Saint", revealing that at some point in the past, Holm had left Templar.Charteris' depiction of Holm was fairly consistent, though the character herself could vary wildly in her mood and attitudes.
