WHO'S WHO IN THE BRIDGET WILDER UNIVERSE? PART TWO!

THE A-Z OF THE B.W.U CONTINUES!

And now let's return to our vast and teeming cast of characters.

R

Rolf

Spoiler alert: Rolf is the operative deployed by the evil secret agency Section 23 to pass as Bridget's superspy father, Carter Strike. Rolf played the part of a dream biological father. He's movie star good-looking, caring, sincere and he's so set on being included in his daughter's life that he supplies her with a bag filled with spy gadgets so that she can join the family business. Once he no longer needs to masquerade as Carter Strike, Rolf is revealed as a cold, heartless creep who deserves everything that's coming to him.

S

Tom Scattering

Vice-Principal of Reindeer Crescent Middle School. The man who replaced the Friendly Red snack dispenser with the reviled Big Green Machine. Scattering loves the Big Green Machine and is wounded by the disdain with which it's presence is greeted by the students. He's even more wounded when a spy satellite takes control of Big Green, using it to pelt him with yogurt and water bottles.

Section 23

A covert agency buried deep beneath the bowels of the CIA. Few know it exists, even fewer know what it does--here's a clue: it's the dirty stuff no one else wants to do. Section 23 is run by a power-hungry madman with a gift for manipulation who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

Nate Spar

A lazy, cynical teacher at Reindeer Crescent Middle School who smirks at Bridget's carrot cake, plays games on his phone when in charge of detention thus enabling Bridget to fill his classroom with smoke, and shirks his reponsibility when called upon to help erase the Doom Patrol graffitti from the school walls.

Brian Spool

The bad guy. Spool enters Bridget's life passing himself off as Carter Strike's go-between, an earnest bumbling employee unused to dealing with young people, but tasked with explaining to Bridget about her biological father, the nature of his business and the capabilities of her bag of gadgets. This is all a ruse constructed to gain Bridget's trust. In reality, Brian Spool is the ruthless head of Section 23 who has no qualms about using Bridget to get to Carter Strike, or abducting nd drugging Brudget's younger sister.

Carter Strike

Legendary superspy. Bridget's biological father. Burned-out agent for Section 23 who decides to find another line of work. Which is something Brian Spool is not about to let happen. Strike knows all Spool's secrets. He literally knows where the bodies are buried. He also knows that Strike has a daughter, a fact of which the legendary superspy was unaware. Even when he became aware, Strike didn't entirely believe it. So he went undercover as a bumbling, chubby, awkward substitute teacher at Bridget's school in order to monitor her. This wasn't particularly deep cover for Strike who IS a chubby, awkward, bumbling figure. But he's also capable of snapping wrists, firing guns with deadly accuracy and riding a motorcycle backwards through a firestorm, often at the same time. Strike may not be the biological father of Bridget's dreams but he turns out to be the one she can count on in times of dire need.

T

Dale Tookey

The boy who, Bridget thinks, once smiled in her direction. The victim she saved from being bullied by Doom Patrol who was then completely ungrateful. The guy who stood up for her in the face of Brendan Chew's comedic abuse. The guy she sprung from detention who was again completely ungrateful. The guy she met outside Kelly Beach's party who was a litte bit annoying, a little bit intriguing. The Section 23 agent who accompanied Rolf as he rolled her on a gurney towards an operating theater where she was going to become a mindless puppet of Brian Spool. The boy who turned out to be a double agent secretly working with Carter Strike. The genius computer hacker who took control of Bridget's self-driving car. The boy she kissed. There's a lot going on with Dale Tookey.

Mrs. Telk

Ancient neighbor of Bridget's tortured by Spool when he shows off the strength of his spy satellite by using it to switch the traffic lights on and off thus forcing Telk to wobble her way back to the curb every time the green light vanishes after several seconds.
