Pythagoras, played by Christopher Brown.

Pythagoras is a scholarly new cadet at Cheiron's Academy. After seeing his father give everything (money, time, and love) to the gods and get nothing in return, he chooses not to believe in them. Strife, annoyed by his skepticism, desperately tries to make him believe. With each attempt, though, Pythagoras is able to find some way to dismiss it with logic. Even, initially, when Strife unleashes the North Winds upon the Academy, he scoffs at the idea that the wind is something induced by the gods. Ultimately, though, it's Pythagoras himself who comes up with the idea of how to re-trap the Winds, having Hercules and Iolaus build a fire to draw them up to a hole in the roof. Though his mind is not changed entirely by the experience, Pythagoras is willing to admit that, theoretically, it could be possible that he might somehow be wrong.
