Brad

Brad Scott (Scott is his middle name, surname not revealed) is the tritagonist of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum, and the best friend of Xavier and Yadina.

In The Neptunians (series), he and his friends Yadina, Xavier, Berby, and Dr. Zoom are the resident Time Travelers, who use their time travel powers to defeat evil.

Appearance
Brad is a young boy with light skin, and light-brown hair, which is kept in a very short buzzcut. He wears black square glasses. He wears a cream-colored shirt underneath an unbuttoned green jacket, olive colored pants and black sneakers over light blue socks. He also wears a red cape.

Personality
Brad tends to be the most nervous and neurotic of the group. He is sometimes hesitant to go on adventures. Brad is quite partial to butterflies, as well as action heroes. Time traveling makes him temporarily dizzy; the further back the three go, the dizzier he gets.

He is described as having “delusions of averageness”, and is apprehensive over everything. His friends, Xavier and Yadina, encourage him to live a little and to try new things.

Apart from being neurotic, he's also very shy. He has a hard time making friends, and it's implied that he didn't have any friends prior to meeting Xavier and Yadina.

In I Am Susan B. Anthony, Yadina remarks to Brad "we're just used to looking after the Secret Museum ourself" indicating that the 3 kids did not discover it together: in the past Xavier and Yadina had tended it alone prior to inviting Brad to join them.
