Wingman • Wisecracker • Catalyst

Nick Havill’s best friend since first grade, Jim is the kind of guy who knows how to talk you off the ledge—and into a VR battle. Calm under pressure and endlessly loyal, Jim brings humor and balance to Nick’s high-achieving world. He’s the first to introduce Nick to the immersive war games that become central to their survival. Quick-thinking and emotionally grounded, Jim might not chase academic trophies, but when the world collapses, he’s exactly the kind of friend you want by your side.
