Description
When Alexander T. Jefferson wasn’t running his website and blog he was probably working on a computer program or helping Whit out at Whit’s End. He had big ideas, but that didn’t keep him from being level-headed. He usually stayed out of trouble unless his cousin Cal Jordan egged him on. Alex was involved in the battle against Novacom and AREM in the Novacom Saga.
Family
- Main article: Jefferson family
Alex sometimes can't understand his parents' rules, but in #445: “No Boundaries”, he enters the Room of Consequence and lives a few days without any rules. He learns that his parents are doing their best for him by having rules.
Alex's mom, Rachel Jefferson, makes world-famous chocolate chip cookies with macadamia nuts, and his maternal grandmother makes famous apple crisp (#466: “Snow Day”).
His mom's brother is the father of Cal Jordan, Alex's cousin. The two cousins get each other into many antics. In addition to Cal, other cousins of his were mentioned in #476: “Relatively Annoying”. They are Lloyd, Ben, Steve, Pete, Julie, Max, and Johnny.
Alex has an uncle Fred, who has a huge lip (#456: “Worst Day Ever”).
Alex's paternal grandmother makes her own ketchup by stomping on tomatoes, and his paternal grandfather thinks everything can be fixed by using duct tape (#476: “Relatively Annoying”).
Trivia
- He has good typing skills (#459: “Slumber Party”).
- He is allergic to corn (#459: “Slumber Party”).
- He is a good swimmer.
- He has a huge bug collection, including blue bugs, green bugs, and bugs that glow in the dark (#458: “Red Herring”).
- He likes furry animals (#459: “Slumber Party”).
- He was at most twelve years old in #471: “Fifteen Minutes”.
- As middle schoolers, Liz Horton has a crush on him, and Alex thinks she is at least nice (#441a: “What Do You Think?”, #459: “Slumber Party”, #602: “Mum's the Word”).
- He eventually takes Liz to senior Prom.
Status
Alex Jefferson's line at the end of #515: “B-TV: Behind the Scenes”, "This is Alex Jefferson, signing off!" is interesting because the actor Travis Tedford moved away right after that recording session. He has not appeared on the show since, though he was still mentioned periodically after his final episode.
He must have been around since during #602: “Mum's the Word”, three years later, when Liz mentions she has a crush on him, and in the canon comic series Elsewhere in Odyssey, Alex is shown attending Odyssey High School's senior prom with Liz. Whether or not this was a one time date or a steady relationship is not revealed.

Alex Jefferson: <narrating> I did as I was told, and “played horseshoes.” I threw the horseshoe, walked to the other stake, and threw it back, walked to the other stake, threw it again, and did this for about three hours. I could’ve gone longer, but I pulled a muscle in my arm, trying to heave it one hundred feet from one stake to the other. It hurt pretty bad, but Grandpa wrapped my arm in duct tape! And then it felt much … much worse. Grandpa Jefferson: Go on outside and play horseshoes. |
