Connie has worked at Whit’s End since she moved to Odyssey. She is spontaneous and never inclined to hold back what she’s thinking, but she has a strong heart for discipleship—especially toward the kids at Whit’s End.

As Whit’s nemesis, Dr. Regis Blackgaard is synonymous with pure evil in Odyssey. Where Bart Rathbone’s schemes are comical, Blackgaard’s are terrifying. A former European intelligence agent, he has plotted more than once to take over Whit’s End and Odyssey by whatever means necessary. He is to be feared and never trusted.
