[edit] Description
Rodney Rathbone is a main character in Adventures in Odyssey, voiced by Steve Burns. He is the son of Odyssey schemer Bart Rathbone, and while the two conflict at times, the son is clearly a chip off the old block. In Broken Window it is revealed that Rodney's middle initial is P.
Rodney is the mischievous local bully and head of the Bones of Wrath, a gang of teenagers who cause trouble but commit few serious crimes (except for the Darkness Before Dawn segment of the Blackgaard saga, during which they commit numerous acts of vandalism and are party to an attempted murder).
Although Rodney is troublesome to most AIO protagonists, he is generally received without excessive rebuke (as is his father Bart); thus, he appears routinely at Whit's End. Rodney and his father have an interesting relationship; Rodney always refers to his father as "Pop", with his father always responding: "don't call me Pop".
Also, Rodney is one of three non-adult characters on AIO who clearly age more slowly than others (the other two are Connie Kendall and Lucy Cunningham-Schultz). Rodney is a teenage bully all the way from his first appearance, in the episode #108: "Isaac the Courageous" (1990), to his latest, in the episode #624: "Buddy Guard", with no noticeable change in age, even while his peers clearly age faster than him. Like most teenagers, Rodney struggles with acne.
