Jordan is a 17 year-old rambunctious army cadet who is hired by Don Wei to be the gunner for the Earth Team. He is a good shot, although he tends to overdo it. He gets off to a rough start with Molly, but they become friends quickly and he is very protective of his racing partner.

Biography

Background

Jordan was born in 2065. He joined the Space Academy in 2080, where he received his training. He entered the school partly to escape from an 'obtrusive' mother, but mostly to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. Rumors about William's connection with the Crogs caused Jordan some problems. Although he failed in flying lessons (so badly that his last instructor retired), Jordan excelled at handling guns.

Alwas Cycle

While Jordan acts more like an overprotective brother toward Molly while they are on Alwas, on Oban he starts to develop more serious feelings for her (though it is unclear if Molly feels the same way about him).

Oban Cycle

Jordan helps Molly fight their way to the Temple of the Heart to stop Canaletto from regaining his Avatar powers. Just when Canaletto is about to capture the sphere containing the avatars powers, Jordan tells Molly he loves her and jumps into the sphere, therefore becoming the new Avatar. He and Molly have a brief conversation right after he becomes the new Avatar, in which he tells her goodbye and kisses her. He is last seen on Oban, watching the team leave for Earth (though they don't see him), with a single tear escaping from his eye.

Personality

As seen throughout the series, Jordan has an intense hatred of the Crogs because his grandfather, William J. Wilde, was attacked by Crogs on an exploring mission. He doesn't trust the Nourasians, either, due to their alliance with the Crogs, and so he doesn't approve of Molly's interest in Prince Aikka.

Trivia

  • Jordan is one of the characters who appears in the 2001 pilot film Molly, Star-Racer (short). The only obvious difference in his design is that he does not wear any gloves.
