Jethri was not the only one of Arin's kin besides Arin who was part of the social unit which Jethri grew up in. Arin had chose nto focus on and work with/for/on behalf of the Loopers, as opposed to other interests. He'd had the choice, and a very high prestigous position before choosing to tie his future to the social unit he joined. And he wasn't the only of his kin in that social unit.
Arin had secrets and history and legacy he never told Jethri, and which others refused to or were otherwise held back from telling Jerhtir--and they might not, for that matter, have known the secrets.
When Arin's Toss showed up in Ghost Ship, I originally thought it had been Arin's ship, since I thought that he had had a courier-type ship of his own once upon a time... the Uncle commissioning and naming it in Arin's honor, seemed less likely to me when I was reading Ghost Ship. But now, I wonder whom the Uncle intended as crew of Arin's Toss, and why Arin's Toss was uncrewed when Uncle hired Theo to be pilot and captain of Arin's Toss... and I wonder what the Uncle did with Arin's Toss after Theo returned Arin;s Toss to the Uncle.
