[edit] Description

Jason Whittaker is a major character in Adventures in Odyssey, voiced by Townsend Coleman. He is the adult son of AIO main character John Whittaker, and moves to Odyssey to manage "Whit's End", along with Jack Allen, following his father's move to Israel.

Jason is known as a technophile with an aggressive personality, which fuels frequent clashes between him and Jack. Jason is also a former employee of the National Security Agency, a fact that plays into occasional episodes.

Jason came very close to marrying his sweetheart, Tasha Forbes who was his partner while working for the National Security Agency. Although, because she was not a Christian Jack Allen disapproved of him marrying her so they decided to elope. But in the end he broke up parked in front of the justice of the peace's house realizing that he was making a mistake. He only met her once again after they broke up, in The Search for Whit and it was made clear that relationship wasn't going anywhere. They had a sort of "reunion" in Accidental Dilemma, Part 1

Jason has had more potential girlfriends then anyone else on the show; his most recent, and probably most important girlfriend was Monica Stone, a spy for Novacom. They met in Alaska when she was undercover as an intern for a missions association. They presumably fell in love while they were working together, but this ended when Jason found out she was working for Andromeda. Jason is currently single.

[edit] History

Jason is Whit’s youngest son—and in many ways, he is a “chip off the old block.” Most of Jason’s life was spent as an “analyst” and operative (in other words, secret agent) for the National Security Agency, just like his dad. And Jason also inherited his father’s love for inventions and tinkering with gadgets—especially the high-tech kinds. But while Jason possesses Whit’s sense of adventure, he does not possess Whit’s patience and wisdom, which results in Jason’s often reckless, impetuous nature. He is a “man of action” who sometimes leaps before he looks.

[edit] Family

Jason's mother, Jenny died before the show began. His father is, of course, John Whittaker. His older brother Jerry died in Vietnam when Jason was a boy, and his sister, Jana lives away from Odyssey, but occasionally comes back for a visit.
