Faculty: Bridge

Name: Larry Martin Hendrickson
Codename: Bridge
Age: 32
Appearance: A short (5'4") wiry red-head, with pale skin, a hint of freckles, and blue eyes, generally wearing converse all-stars.
Job: Teaches Latin, Fencing, European Swordsmanship, Guitar, English, and Research Methodology; sends teams to their destinations and retrieves them afterwards.

Mr. Hendrickson is something of a polymath, and frequently assists in various roles (costuming, stagecraft, music) with the school's theater club. He is friendly, good-humored, and popular as a teacher or guest lecturer; troubled students frequently choose him to confide in. He also helps maintain the school's computer systems, acting as a backup to Mr. Jenkins. 

His role as Bridge is to transport students and faculty to various locations as needed, watch over them, and bring them back afterwards. His power is a unique blend of clairvoyance and teleportation which allows him to view (and with a bit of extra effort, listen in on) remote locations. If he focuses hard enough, he can connect his current location to the location he is viewing, allowing himself and/or anyone nearby to step from one frame of reference to the other. There are a handful of administrators in the CIA who tried to recruit him for espionage over a decade ago, but Mr. Hendrickson found the idea distasteful and removed himself.
