Jason Winkler

Jason Winkler is the new teacher at the school and he was the replacement for the old history teacher in series one. Mr.Winkler not only teaches history, but he also teaches drama and he eventually sets up a school play written by Nina Martin. At first, he tried to help Patricia Williamson find Joy Mercer, but then turned to the dark side and joins The Secret Society because he has a life threatening disease and its his only hope of survival. He was the only one who believed Patricia when she said something bad happened to Joy and offered to help her. Later, Mr. Winkler found Joy's cell phone on the streets by the school by the trash cans. He was concerned about Patricia, so he went to Mrs. Andrews to get some information about the location of Joy. However, Mrs. Andrews was interrupted by Mick Campbell, who needed to talk to her. He later visited Mr Sweet's office and was initially told that he would be better off not knowing about Joy, but is then told to talk to Victor Rodenmaar, Jr. After he had a talk with Victor, he was most likely in on the Joy secret and greatly changed. He started abandoning Patricia's search.

Despite this change in behavior, Mr Winkler is not evil, as he is still shown to be caring towards the students. He brought Jerome Clarke and Alfie Lewis's scam on the lower grades to light and was willing to endorse Amber Millington's storyline for Nina's play. In the Season One finale he tries his hardest to get Victor to help the kids when they are held captive in a classroom by Rufus Zeno. However, he does seem somewhat isolated. He will die an early death without the Elixir of Life, the Cup of Ankh or immortality. In the season finale he was supposed to be Miss Robinson's date, but couldn't because Rufus threatened Sibuna's lives and made Mr Winkler ignore the door when Miss Robinson arrived. She continuously asked Mick and Mara Jaffray if they had seen him. When Amber is wondering who her date is, she considers Mr Winkler but Mara sets her straight, reminding Amber that he is a teacher.

Because the Secret Society failed and didn't get immortality or the Cup of Ankh, Mr Winkler likely died of the disease. He most likely did not appear in series two because of this.
