She has mastered various martial arts, is young, attractive and athletic, and knows how to defend herself. It often happens that she has to rescue her assistant and partner Nigel from dangerous situations. She was born in Hawaii and has friends all over the world who often seek her help. She has many lovers who she and her partner meet more often while traveling, but rarely long-term relationships. Her mother died early, but her father is still alive. She is a history professor at the University of Toronto, Canada, and is repeatedly hired by private collectors and government agencies to search for missing relics around the world. She is sort of the female Indiana Jones .

Nigel Bailey

Nigel Bailey is originally from England and comes from the upper middle class. He has a brother, Preston, with whom he doesn't get along very well because Preston always tries to be better than Nigel. Little did he know when he accepted the position that he and his boss would travel to exotic locations and experience dangerous adventures. Nigel is very polite, young, attractive, friendly, respectful of women, and sometimes very clumsy and clumsy. He is very intellectual, smart and likes to rely on his books. He graduated from Stanford University . There is no typical role distribution between him and Sydney, as he often has to be saved by her and she takes on the role of the strong protector. But there is a certain tension between Nigel and Sydney. In the current seasons of Relic Hunter, it's clearly visible that Sydney and Nigel are getting closer and closer. Nigel also realizes that Sydney feels more than friendship.

Claudia

Claudia works in the Sydney Fox office and only got that job because her father is a major university donor. She studies at the University in Toronto, but is not very interested in history. Her main interests are fashion, makeup, partying and men. She is young, attractive, very superficial and also a bit stupid. But she also likes to try out new things, for example she is interested in reincarnation or tries out the Gothic scene . She and Nigel love to tease each other and often get on each other's nerves because they often disagree.
