I do have to agree that it would be useful to know more about him. His background, other than being a fanboy, is shrouded in mystery. Maybe it will be further explained once the Turtles return to New York. Not right away, but further in the season (which may be season four by then).

For those who remember, there have been other characters that when first introduced had very little revealed about them. In the 2003 series when we first met the Guardians, one of them had met up with Leo and told him that he was a Guardian. Then he proceeded to tell Leo that that was all he could reveal right now. That wasn't even halfway through the first season. It took until the end of the season to finally learn what these guys were all about.

I believe that one of two things will happen in regard to Timothy. Number one, he will never be mentioned again except for when Donnie makes random comments either to him or about him and he will fade into obscurity. Number two, somewhere down the road his character will be revisited and we will learn more about him. I hope its Number two

I do too because otherwise it would have been pointless for Donnie's little speech to him when the Turtles fled the lair at the end of season two.
