List of Strange Days at Blake Holsey High Characters - The Janitor

The Janitor

An all-knowing figure at Blake Holsey High. The Janitor (Tony Munch), like Josie's clone, was transported to some era through a wormhole due to the explosion at Pearadyne. He knows what is to happen and is supportive of Josie Trent. He always seems to help Josie at the time she needs it most, yet at the same time confuses her with his all-knowing. Josie, however, loses her trust in him when in one episode where Vaughn, instead of returning to the present, is sent to 1977. When she returns through the black hole for him, the janitor refuses to tell her where Vaughn is. He is cryptic and intends to not stray from the point, making sure that his true identity and reason for being remains with him and only him. He exists outside of time and intends to keep the timeline in clean and perfect order, without letting anyone know, outside of the Science Club, about the Wormhole in the Science Office. No one seems to know his name.

For most of the series, the Janitor is morally ambiguous. This ambiguity is resolved in "Conclusions" when Josie's clone reveals that the Janitor is an observer of observers. The observers are a people to guard and maintain the time stream against those who would manipulate time travel and alter history for their own ends. While the Josie Clone was also trained as an observer when the Janitor took her to the future it is made clear in "Conclusions" that he is from a much more distant point in the future and acts as the observer of the other observers. When the series concludes he reveals that he will not be able to return to his home and that it is his sacrifice.
