Geoffrey's mother got married to Terence. Terence had a daughter called Kate from a previous marriage. Geoffrey is Kate's step-brother.
step-brother: Geoffrey and Kate are not related by blood but through the marriage of one of each of their parents. Therefore, they are step-brother and step-sister. Kate's father is Geoffrey's step-father, and Geoffrey's mother is Kate's step-mother.
half-brother: If Geoffrey and Kate were half-brother and half-sister then they would share one biological parent. This is not the case: they do not have any biological parents in common. Example: "My father remarried and had a daughter, Eve, with his new wife. Eve is my half-sister".
brother: A brother shares the same biological mother and father as his siblings. Geoffrey and Kate do not share any biological parents.
