[edit] Biography
First appearing in the fourth episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation (Eye of the Beholder), he is seen dropping his younger brother off, Sean Cameron, at school on his motorcycle. As Sean's responsible guardian, he's shown having a deep caring relationship with his brother, in regards to his rocky relationship with their parents.
When the NaK (News About Kids) broadcasts partially funded Degrassi's computer lab, upon reading an opinion piece against the bias broadcasts, Tracker takes a strong stance for the broadcasts (as they provided free computers) and calls the writer an idiot. As him and Sean walk by Emma, who is the writer of the article (unbeknownst to Tracker), she quickly confronts him and informs him that she is the writer. Attempting to apologize to Emma's mother (who was also present), Emma states that it was her piece and persists that she is right and that if he couldn't see that, he was the idiot. As they were both simply expressing their opinion, Emma insists that Tracker is in the wrong and that students should not be "force-fed advertisements". In response, Tracker references the injustice of Sean falling behind in school as they could not afford a computer and that the broadcasts allowed for this to be retributed as they provided the computers. He then expresses how he feels by crumpling her article saying that it was garbage while reiterating his point to where there are two sides to every story. Although Sean and Emma later mock his abrasive behaviour, Tracker has his younger brother's best interests at heart.
In the episode "Under Pressure", Tracker is quizzing Sean on what seems to be history questions while they both fix their motorcycle. He informs Sean that their mother called and was sober, to which Sean sarcastically and simplistically compliments. Learning that his mother wanted to talk to him about him moving back, to which Sean strongly is against and is angered by. With Sean overreacting, Tracker attempts to calm down Sean and tells him to use the techniques for calming down that Sean's social worker had provided him with. Tracker then tells Sean that everything was going to be alright and that he need not worry about his mother as long as he "kept his head up" and his grades good. Despite Tracker's best efforts to provide for Sean and be a good role model, their house is a mess; an aspect that Sean attempts to prevent Emma from seeing when they walk home together. Pulling up in his motorcycle, Tracker sees Emma standing outside his door waiting alone (as Sean went inside). Drawing from their previous encounter and sarcastically questions if her presence was to "write a report for her school newspaper" and also questions if she thinks she is a good influence on his younger brother. As they both got off to a rocky start, to Emma's surprise, Tracker confirms Emma's positive influence over Sean, referencing that he hasn't got into trouble that year.
