Sam (Spynet)

|
Sam is the code-name for the main fictitious spy character on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Spynet children's program. An active field operator, she is stationed in an unmarked van, parked outside of an office building (which in real-life is the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto.)
Graduating at the top of her NET Spy School class, Sam is especially skilled at surveillance, hand to hand combat, disguise and radio/video operations.
Her parents disappeared without a trace when she was only eight years old, their whereabout are unknown to Sam. She has, however, received a videotape of her father, wishing her good luck with her life. It was taped shortly before he was dispatched as on a new, top secret mission. With the vanishing of her family, she moved in with an aunt, uncle and two young cousins. All of this family has been continuously scrutized by authorities for their criminal activities. Sam maintains very little contact with this family.
To prove her worth after failing the Armed Forces Black Ops training, she successfully enrolled with the National Espionage Taskforce. She is quite eager to prove herself, making her an excellent agent; however, this same attribute also causes her to threaten security, as she tasks many unnecessary risks. In the NET, she reports to Pendleton, her Field Operatives Supervisor.
The CBC says that her locator device has a code number of XZ DSDSFF68-29512R136; this is a continuity problem, it is exactly the same as Pendleton.
