Pythias

• Son of Fiducius, mentioned in 1.06 - Teacher's 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 ordered library.
