Commander Seth Goddard

Seth Goddard is the Space Cases' teacher. He tends to lose his temper now and then, but can you blame him? He's got his hands full--protecting the ship not only from the mysterious beings of outer space, as well as from the hazards of the hyperactive Space Cases themselves. Seth never really wanted to be a teacher. In fact, it was just about time for him to return to his old job as a spaceship commander when the Space Cases led him onto that weird alien spaceship--and on an unexpected seven-year trip. But in a way, Seth is lucky. He's once again doing what he likes best: commanding a spaceship. So what if the crew isn't exactly what he had in mind?

Homeworld:
Goddard is a native of the Country of Montreal on Earth.
Relationships:
What with watching over the kids and trying to get home, romance is not on the minds of Commander Goddard and Miss Davenport, but they're clearly fond of each other, so you never know whether they will fall in love with each other and get married.
FYI:
Commander Goddard almost started a war once when he was chasing a space pirate named Reaver and trespassed into hostile alien territory. The UPP ruling council decided he should be a teacher for three years so he could "relearn" proper STARDOG procedures.
Goddard is a veteran of the Spung-Andromedan War and fought Andromedans during that war. Although he does not hold this against Radu, he is very much aware of the fact that Radu could be dangerous if he turned on the crew.
