2024 Jared DeWhite Trading Card

Jared DeWhite is a very popular Adventures in Odyssey child character best known for his overactive imagination and conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy Theories

Jared is extremely popular among fans for being a conspiracy theorist whose ideas are usually wildly out-of-the-box and often land him into trouble. Scratching the surface, Jared is convinced that grown-ups conspire against children to hide knowledge, that World War II and nearly every other major war never happened, and that all the people in Congress are from Mars. Allowing his imagination to get out of hand, Jared scrawled a secret code to hide his communication with the kids of Odyssey from adults and later used it to discreetly deliver information about Andromeda to Mandy Straussberg and Sarah Prachett. He has run an online teen help service named "Miss Friendship" in which he warned his classmates that the popular cliques are made up of aliens, and once even believed that a man named Mark Herring, who was biking across America, got on his bike at a city, and when he left that city, got on a air-conditioned camper for the next 100 miles, rode his exercise bike, and ate fig bars (in Best Face Forward) and that Whit was conspiring to steal money from him and had cameras placed in his house (in The Buck Starts Here).

Character History

Jared was one of the more prominent characters during the post-hiatus years. When the actor left the show, Jared moved away, however, it was later explained in his reintroduction during the Novacom saga that he left because he was placed in the Witness Protection Program after his family discovered scathing information about a company named Andromeda. His best friend was Dwayne Oswald, who he asks Mandy and Sarah about when they accidentally find where the Witness Protection Program is keeping him. It is unknown if the two ever reunite, even after Jared returns to Odyssey. Jared makes his return to town after the company was brought down and lasted for a few episodes before leaving the show permanently.

His last appearance on the audio show was on The Triangled Web, Part 1, where he is revealed to have become a junior CIA analyst on Candid Conversations With Connie. Jared's namesake on the show was survived by his younger brother, Trent.

After the Audio Show

Jared later returned to the Odyssey continuity as an adult in the Elsewhere in Odyssey and Byte Sized Adventures comics, where he continues his career in the CIA, and comes back from Washington DC to visit his family in Odyssey from time to time. In the Byte Sized Adventure The Spy Who Bugged Me... AGAIN! we learn more about the years between Jared's middle school days and his graduation from High School, during which time he asked Sarah Prachett (long thought to be his mortal enemy) to attend a formal event as his date. He graduated shortly after and broke off contact with her, which enrages Sarah.

In his professional career, Jared's "office" is located in the basement of the CIA building, presumably to keep he and his conspiracy theories at a distance. He eventually ends up teaming with Monty Whittaker of the secret service to uncover an embezzlement scheme.

Trivia

• He once created a suit out of sponges to protect himself from aliens
• On at least one occasion he was thrown out of the public library for being too loud (#414: “Buried Sin”)
• He still sleeps with a teddy bear named Mr. Bobo and Tony the Turtle (#417: “Not-So-Trivial Pursuits”)
• He and Sarah Prachett were next-door neighbors on Maple Street, at least before his family moved out of town prior to the Novacom Saga (#400: “The Spy Who Bugged Me”, #426: “The Buck Starts Here”)
• He used the "psychology skills" he developed from his middle school health class to help Connie when she came home from Washington D.C. after her break-up with Mitch (#542: “Eggshells”)
