Characters

Main Characters

Delilah and Julius work as a team. They are both talented musicians and experts at disguises. They are also masters of martial arts and can speak 20 different languages. They are always trying to get better at what they do. It seems like they also really like each other. They often go on "dates" that are actually spy missions!

Delilah Devonshire

Delilah Devonshire is a very determined person. She always wants to find the truth. This strong belief in truth is her best quality. But sometimes, it can also get her into trouble. She takes things seriously, but can get upset in tough situations. Her spy parents disappeared when she was only 5 years old. Most people think they are gone forever. However, Delilah doesn't believe this. She is set on finding out what happened to them. She also wants to prove that her parents were not working for the bad guys.

Delilah cares a lot about her friendship with Julius. She can get jealous if Julius flirts with other girls, especially a villain named Ice. She is glad to have Julius as a skilled partner. Together, they will do whatever it takes to stop villains from doing evil things. Delilah likes to outsmart her opponents. She is strong-willed, creative, and quick-thinking. She is also good at fencing, manners, and using explosives. Delilah is always ready to learn new things for her missions.

Julius Chevalier

Julius Chevalier is often playful, but he is very determined. He loves fighting crime. While Delilah focuses on goals, Julius is more spontaneous. He handles problems as they come up. He still finds time to have fun, too. He enjoys surfing, writing poetry, cracking safes, and doing yoga. His parents died while on a mission when he was four. Julius hopes to get revenge for their deaths one day. For now, he is proud that they were known as two of the greatest spies ever.

Julius is usually relaxed and a bit confident. This confidence helps him act quickly. He is a bit like James Bond because he stays calm and thinks fast. He makes everything look easy. He has a good sense of humor. He is also very good at understanding what Delilah needs. Underneath his cool and sometimes arrogant outside, he is sensitive and caring. This is especially true when it comes to Delilah. He stays calm and resourceful under pressure. But he can be a bit careless when things are easy. He often tries to impress Delilah. He gets very jealous if she shows interest in other boys. In one episode, it's shown that he dreams about Delilah, proving he cares for her.

The Academy Crew

Alfred "Al"

Al is the director of the Academy. He always knows a lot and gives Delilah and Julius their missions. Al is their main contact, guide, and teacher. He is also like a parent to them. Al is a free-spirited person who talks like someone from the 1970s. He loves food and culture and has a unique sense of humor. But he can also be serious, especially when it comes to keeping his students safe.

Scarlett Vance

Scarlett is the Academy's expert on gadgets. Like Al, Scarlett uses old-fashioned expressions from the 70s. She also cares a lot about her students. She is very creative and always invents new spy technology. This helps Delilah and Julius stay ahead on their missions.

Buster "Nosey"

Nosey often works with Delilah and Julius. He is a kind-hearted but clumsy person. He is known for getting into smelly situations on his missions. It's not that he smells bad, but he always ends up where things are stinky! Nosey seems to like Zoe, a new member of the Academy.

Ursula and Emmet

Ursula and Emmet are another spy team trained by Al. They are rivals of Delilah and Julius. They are jealous of Delilah and Julius's popularity and success. Ursula is also secretly working for a bad guy while pretending to be at the Academy.

Zoe Ling

Zoe is the newest spy from China at the Academy. She loves to read comic books and knows everything about them. When Zoe first arrived, she thought Julius was cute. However, she and Nosey start a relationship in some episodes. Zoe has red hair and a strong personality. Her spy skills are very good, and the Academy team trusts her.
