Tim Iridoo

Tim Iridoo (b. undecided) was an Anglo-American born from Mr. Iridoo and an unknown mother in Kentucky. He was a character in Scintilla Love but was also mentioned in Better Days Ahead as a slang term. As of 2003, Tim Iridoo was dead and his half-sister, Maggie Iridoo, attempted suing the Scintilla Love author for use of his name.

History
Tim Iridoo was born to war veteran Mr. Iridoo and an unknown woman, it has been suggested he was the offspring of an affair. Despite this, Tim was raised by Mr. Iridoo with a half-sister Maggie Iridoo who was born about 5 years after he. From a young age to his high school years, Tim Iridoo was a very problematic and trouble-drawing character, coining his name as a slang term for something that is irritating.

He declined the offer of running away with Madeline, in partiality due to caring for his younger half-sister. Due to this declination, Vlahos saw his character of honesty and grew an admiration for him.

Not much is known about Tim's later life, though he eventually became a gym teacher for the same high school. Tim Iridoo had no children, though he saw his half-sister's children as his own. He eventually died sometime before 1993, never being able to read the Scintilla Love book.

Behind the scenes

 * Tim Iridoo's slang term is used by characters from Scintilla Love, but can also be seen through characters of Better Days Ahead; meaning that the slang term spread to many people who read the book.
 * Saying this, in Better Days Ahead, the term is hardly known by survivors by 2032 except for a select few in the Kansas Farms.
 * Tim Iridoo's surname 'Iridoo' is an unrealistic surname.
