Skidder

Skidder becomes a member of Team 1 during Series 3. Before that he is sometimes briefly mentioned in BASE as Dr Rat's adopted son, or a succesful solo agent.

Appearance
Dark black hair. For series 3 & 4 he wears black sunglasses that make it impossible to tell what eye colour he has. Skidder tends to dress well, usually with some form of communication device in his ear. At the end of Series 4 his eyes are revealed to be a very light blue colour. He now wears contact lenses, but sometimes reverts back to sunglasses if they leave the house in a hurry.

In the Team
He is one of the more recent members of the team. Originally he wasn't trusted too much by the other team members because of his solitary attitude, though they grow to respect him and his abilities throughout the series. Skidder is an exceptional gunman, as good as Snowy, if not better.

Bedroom
He shares a room with Digger that he insists on being split in half between them. His side is very tidy, with a sliding wall that reveals a walk in cupboard where all his weapons are stored. He sleeps on the bottom bunk on the bunkbed.

Before Team 1
Skidder was abandoned as at the age of 5 and found by Dr Rat. He spoke Swedish so it was assumed that was where he was from. Skidder learned English quickly, he also speaks German and Danish. He was brought up with Agent 1, who is probably his closest friend, and like a brother to him.

He is referred to as a Solo Agent before joining Team 1, though he had been known to assist the old Team 1 in their missions from time-to-time.

It is also suggested that he'd met Gwen a few times while working deep in the heart of BASE.

Series 3
Skidder joins Team 1 at the age of 16 to replace Snowy. He is taken aback by the size of the team, and is not pleased to be stuck in a room with the youngest member of the team. Dr Rat introduces him to the team as his adopted son.

Because he got on well with the old Team 1, he does not always see eye-to-eye with his teams opinion on them, he is the only member of the team to support giving Thomas another chance in Team America.

Skidder is shown to be efficiant and highly punctual, often appearing for mission briefs on the TV screen before anybody else has even had the chance to get out of bed.

He is fermiliar with Dr Dingo and Captain Coyote's styles, so when strange occerances begin around the world, he is not in the dark when the team jumps to the conclusion of the two villains being the cause.

When they are trapped in Dr Dingo's lair, he ends up with Katara and Boyzy. The three work surprisingly well together, and Skidder begins to see the benefits of team work. Katara and Boyzy are a little shocked by his merciless killing of Dr Dingo's footmen that attack them, but Skidder explains that sometimes it's best to put them down before they do the same to you.

Skidder accepts Dr Rat's opinion when Dr Dingo and Captain Coyote claim to have nothing to do with the attacks, showing the trust he has in his adoptive father.

During the revelation of Harry's siblings, Skidder seems indifferent and unconserned, because he has no connection to them, and a villain is a villain whoever they're related to.

Series 4
Skidder is annoyed when he discovers that Gwen is to join the team, it is suggested that he'd met her before when he was young, and didn't think very much of her.

He is impressed when Digger intoduces him to Snowy at BASE. He is present when Snowy confirms that he and Gwen are twins. He then tells Snowy that he is a man to be honered... Unlike his sister, who doesn't know when to speak and when to hold her tongue.

Skidder is unsurprised when he hears from Rocky that Team America own shares in a drug dealing company; he assumed that it was obvious.

Gwen and Skidder do not get on at all in this series. Skidder being 17 and Gwen only being 15, he doesn't like how she tries to act too old for her age, and Gwen doesn't like the way he treats her like a child.

Skidder is the one that names Diggers 'Hormonal Phase', because he is the one that has to suffer the most of it because he shares a room with him.

Despite his dislike of Gwen, there is a bond between them because she is the only member of the team that knows about his powers. Skidder is not surprised when she doesn't reveal it to the rest of the group, assuming that she's signed a secrets act with Dr Rat.

During a fight over the Plate, Skidder almost removes his glasses, only to be stopped by Gwen; who shoots him a silent glare in battle. However, Skidder desides to tell his team why he always wears sunglasses. They are shocked, some of them are even afraid of him. But they don't get a chance to argue about it because their home is soon under attack.

Skidder uses his mental abilities to destroy most of the troops, after his sunglasses are broken, he almost kills Sally until Harry stands between them. He manages to control himself enough to close his eyes. At the end of this series Skidder is introduced to contact lenses that Dr Dingo has created, the contacts block his abilities like his sunglasses used to do.

Series 5
Skidder is 18 in this series.

After the break in, in Australia, he begins to sense friction between not only the teams but also amongst team members. He manages to keep up his relationship with all the characters through this trying phase, even trying to improve the one he has with Gwen in case it ever becomes important.

He finds Gwen easier to get on with in this series now that she's 16 and seems to have calmed down a bit. He works closely in BASE during this time, in connection with the Plate, running tests for Dr Rat in relevance to it.

Skidder is shocked when he finds that Colt, Nibbler and Whistler are Dr Rat's bodyguards, even offering to the job himself, until Dr Rat assures him that there is more to these three than meets the eye.

Like the others, Skidder is a little surprised that Rocky was spying on them, but he believes that because it was on Dr Rat's orders, it must be okay. He tells the other members of the team that are angry with Rocky that if there was a leak, he couldn't let it slip that he knew there was. He manages to reinstate some of their loyalty to Rocky by telling them that he doubts that Rocky suspected any of them anyway.

Skidder is in BASE when Tabby attacks them, he however doesn't manage to arrive in time to face her, on account of him Dr Dingo and Captain Coyote being trapped in the training room (Tabby cuts off the electrisity, meaning that the electric doors won't open). He remains stuck until Dr Dingo restarts the system.

Rocky
Skidder gets on well with Rocky. The two respect each other even if they don't always agree. Rocky often consults him on missions and Skidder does his best to answer thoughtfully and with good advice.

Katara
Skidder works well with Katara and Boyzy. The three aren't close friends, but they can converse and plan together without argument.

Boyzy
Like Katara, Skidder works well with him.

Digger
Digger and Skidder share a room together. At first Skidder doesn't think too much of him, because Digger is still very childish, though as Digger grows and matures, Skidder begins to find his company a little more barable. Skidder is also likely to take Digger's side in an argument, viewing Digger very much like a little brother.

Gwen
Skidder and Gwen knew each other as children because they were so often in and out of BASE at the same time. Even so, Skidder doesn't seem to particularly like Gwen when she first joins the team, even though she keeps the secret about his powers from the rest of the team (Something she was aware of because she worked in the high clearance part of BASE with Skidder). In Series 5 they seem closer after Gwen as grown-up a little bit and stops trying to act older than she is. She begins a playful flirtation with Skidder and sometimes teases him, this annoys Skidder, but he seems to put up with it.

Harry
Like Rocky, Skidder respects Harry as a valuble and sensible member of the team. Even so he doesn't seem to care about the news that Harry's siblings are behind the attacks in Series 4.

Floppy
Skidder gets on well with Team America, more than the rest of the team, possibly because of his old connection with Thomas. He talks freely with Floppy, though he doesn't always approve of the way he runs his team.

Thomas
Skidder and Thomas knew each other before Skidder joined Team 1, he often helped Thomas and his old Team 1 if they needed extra help in their missions. Thomas remembers Skidder well, and insists to Rocky that Skidder was never involved in anything they did that was outside the knowledge of BASE.

Dr Rat
Dr Rat, however young, is Skidder's adoptive father that found him wondering the streets at the age of 5. Dr Rat taught him to speak English and also helped him control his powers. Skidder shows respect for Dr Rat and trusts his judgement entirely.

Dr Dingo
Skidder dislikes both Dr Dingo and Captain Coyote, largly because he notices friction between them and Dr Rat, even after Dr Rat invites them to join BASE. But this is especially strong towards Dr Dingo because he gets on so well with Agent 1, who Skidder looks on like an older brother, and doesn't want being led astray. After being locked in the training room with them he begins to respect Dr Dingo more after he manages to restart the BASE system.

Captain Coyote
Skidder is not overly fond of the Captain. His respect does increase when he gets locked in the Training room with him and Dr Dingo, because of how well he takes control of the situation.

Agent 1
Skidder grew up with Agent 1, and views him like a younger brother. Because both of them speak Danish, he and Agent 1 sometimes begin conversations that nobody else can understand. They share a close bond, Skidder gets on better with Agent 1 than he does with any of the other characters, Agent 1 being the only character he actually confides in, or shows his less stern and serious side to.
