When we first met Jordan, they were working closely with Professor Brink, while in recent episodes we have them grow close with Marie Moreau.
As the character has both male and female forms, they are played by two actors in the series - London Thor, as the female version of Jordan, and Derek Luh, as the male version.
Who is London Thor?
London Thor is a 26-year-old singer, songwriter and actress, who has released a number of EPs and singles and starred in both series and films.
Her on-screen credits to date include appearances in the series The Rolling Soldier, Shameless, You and Never Have I Ever, while she also had a role in Greta Gerwig's film Lady Bird.
Thor said of creating the character with Derek Luh: "It's been really easy sharing a character with Derek. When we first met, it was kinda like an immediate click of we both had similar thoughts. We both were open to talking about the character and open to each other's opinions.
"And I think with that, we just built this character from the ground up. Luckily, I don't know how, maybe just the fact that we've been stranded in Toronto for four months together, we managed to just take on each other's personalities sometimes. Our characteristics are pretty similar. It's been great having a partner like that."
