Originally a factory owner who spent his days sitting behind a table and the rest on the factory floor. When the Wraith culled Sateda, Cai was one of the three hundred survivors that escaped. Cai along with the other Satedans abandoned their homeworld to live out amongst other worlds. Cai had trouble adjusting as his skills as were in low demand. After ten years of trying to eke out a life, Cai decided to return to Satedan and rebuild having remebered he still possessed a warehouse of goods that were still salvageable. Using his skills as a saleman he managed to convince other fellow Satedans to return, most who were clerks, typists, and secretaries who had lost their usefulness.

Cai eventually came in contact with the Atlantis expedition, meeting the famed Ronon Dex, when they came searching for titanium to construct an iris for their gate. The Satedan welcomed the Lanteans eager to trade them for additional supplies in their reconstruction efforts. The Lanteans were allowed to examine the ruins of the City Museum to salvage mange Ancient artifacts. Later the Lanteans found evidence that the Genii, where conducting their own salvage missions and Ronon believed that Cai had sold the expedition out. When Ronon confronted him about this so-called deception, Cai admitted he knew of the Genii's operations, but didn't they were looting the treasures in the Museum. In addition he and his people were too ashamed to admit to the Lanteans, especially Dex, that they were unable to keep the Genii from squatting in their cities and robing their dead. The governor explained that the Satedans that had returned could not little to nothing to stop the Genii as none of them were not warriors or soldiers. Realizing his mistake, Ronon apologized and agreed to make an appeal to Atlantis to find a way to drive out the Genii.
