Zachary Sellars
History
Zachary Sellars is a wheelchair bound boy who moved to Odyssey from Richland and befriended Lucy Cunningham-Schultz. He was paralyzed when his father's car was hit by a drunk driver.

He was briefly able to 'walk' again inside the Imagination Station due to a breakthrough by Jason Whittaker.
