Broots is a character portrayed by Jon Gries.

Overview[]

Broots (It is uncertain whether this is a first or last name) is a computer technician who works at The Centre and was added The Centre team to help Miss Parker and Sydney to track down the Pretender, Jarod.

Background[]

A Centre computer technician, Broots is able to break any computer code, unearth any file, and intercept all manner of communiqués. He is a divorced-single father of a daughter named Debbie Broots. Broots often gets very nervous and is obviously intimidated by Miss Parker in particular, but also by other staff at The Centre. Broots, by his own admission, grew up in a mobile home, so from fairly humble beginnings, to his job at The Centre, must have been considered a privilege for him.

Relationships[]

Broots' one solid relationship is that with his daughter, Debbie. We see him briefly with his ex-wife and it is clear, while he has compassion for her situation, she has none for him. He tried to strike up relationships several times, online and in person but none of these pan out. He developed a crush on Miss Parker also, but she "shoots him down", firmly but gently. With Sydney, his relationship is that of a student and mentor, and he seeks advice from both Sydney and Miss Parker when needed.

Trivia[]

Broots' has a deviated septum, Jarod identifies him just from the sound of it. He responded that he got beamed with an Etch A Sketch when he was younger.
