Pythias

Son of Fiducius, mentioned in 1.06 Teachers Pests.

Little is know about Pythias, but Fiducius must speak about him often enough for Jason to later mock him, "Back when my boy, Pythias, when to school..."

After Jason and Hercules find Pythias's school records and realize that not only did he get incompletes and a suspension, but he never graduated, Fiducius tells the true story.

Fiducius: He was a good boy, once - good student. Made me proud. Then he started getting into scrapes. Small ones at first. I went easy on him - covered for him - let him get away with things. He got wilder and wilder - uncontrollable. I didn't know what to do with him. One day - he just ran away. You wonder why I'm so hard on you boys. It's because I don't want the same thing to happen to you. I don't want to let you down - the way I did him.

Fiducius's Bragging

Fiducius: You boys show no respect. You boys take no responsibility. When my boy, Pythias, was a student here, things were different.

Fiducius: You call this 'mucked out'? My boy, Pythias, would be ashamed to let a teacher see such shoddy work.
Jason: Yeah, I'll bet he could really shovel it.

Fiducius: When my boy, Pythias, went here, the students knew the value of a precisely orderd library.
