Trevor Zeitlan is Amanda's father.	None	+ Trevor resembles Amanda's father. + Trevor is arrogant and the kind of man who tries to impress people like Elle. + Trevor is the right age to be Amanda's father. - Lydia got pregnant fifteen years ago. Trevor appears to be too young. + Trevor is said to be up to 30 when he died in 2006. That makes him about 18 when Amanda would be born if she is 15.

Maybe because he is a defrocked priest. + He appears to be old enough to be Amanda's father. • So do many other characters. + He is an evolved human. • This isn't required to father an evolved child. + Lydia might have sensed that he may have thought of becoming a priest with a Christian denomination that allows marriage. A child might have made this impossible to achieve due to the time spent on raising the child, instead of studying for the seminary. - Gordon doesn't seem like the kind of man who would leave the Catholic Church. + Gordon might have never been Catholic, because Catholics pray in Latin. - Not all Catholics, praying in Latin hasn't been mandatory in decades.
