A list of Jim Lake Jr.'s relationships with certain characters throughout the franchise.
Patrons[]
Merlin[]
- “Gunmar is free, Trollmarket is in peril, and of all creatures in our worlds, I chose you. Now... show them why.”
- ―Merlin to Jim[src]
Technically speaking, Merlin is, in fact, Jim's patron as he is his chosen champion, like his predecessors before him.
Jim first meets the wizard who created his amulet (albeit as a spirit) in "Unbecoming" when Merlin transported the boy to an alternate reality where Jim was never chosen. This was to show Jim what would've happened and his amulet does not make mistakes. He even tells him that the trolls needed him, now more than ever with Gunmar freed and Trollmarket on the verge of a hostile takeover.
By Part Three, Jim had an awkward first impression when he finally meets Merlin in person. When Jim learns that his mother was captured by the Gumm-Gumms along with Strickler, Merlin prevents him from finding them, much to Jim's disbelief. He becomes convinced that Merlin only wants his magic back and begins to fight back against Merlin, only to be easily outmatched by the wizard himself while they had a tense argument. Merlin tensely tells Jim that his humanity and Eclipse Blade will not be enough to end the Gumm-Gumm War, unless he becomes something more than human. Merlin creates a potion that will transform Jim into a human-troll hybrid, but he warns that the changes will be permanent, and he leaves Jim with a choice to either remain human or forever become a "true" Trollhunter, leaving his old life behind.
After sealing away Morgana for good, Merlin (with his magic restored) thanks to Jim and his friends for their bravery and helps lead the trolls to a new Heartstone in New Jersey. Also, during "For the Glory of Merlin", Merlin did show an ounce of sympathy for Jim when he saw him mourning over Draal's death.
After Jim was struck in the amulet by one of the Green Knight's Onyx Shards, Merlin did everything he could to slow the shard's process of digging into Jim's chest and inevitably reach his heart, but didn't know of a way to remove the shard. After Jim, Claire, Steve, and Douxie returned from their inadvertent time-travel, Jim forced the shard entirely into his heart, transforming completely into troll, albeit a monstrous one that fell under the control of the Green Knight. As a result, Merlin deemed Jim a lost cause and basically refused any idea of trying to save him.
It is unknown how Jim felt when he learns of Merlin's demise after regaining his humanity, but most likely neither saddened nor delighted, given the wizard's past eccentric behavior towards him before.
Romances[]
Claire Nuñez[]
- “You mean WE are gonna find him... together.”
- ―Claire to Jim[src]
Jlaire kiss
At first, Jim merely crushed on Claire from afar and she tolerated him at best until he attempted to won her with quickly learned Spanish and she invited him to audition for the school play, Romeo, and Juliet. Although he didn't actually want to act, he auditioned to convince Strickler that the armor was for the play. However, due to his tardiness and absence from several rehearsals, their relationship begins to turn sour. After a last-minute attempt to win back her trust, he agrees to babysit her little brother, Enrique, who is actually a changeling, who they dubbed as NotEnrique. After causing a mess in her house, she says she hopes to never see him again. Before he and Draal have their to-the-death rematch, he leaves her a letter, confessing all of his feelings and what has been going on with him. She forgives him, thinking it's metaphorical, but then grows suspicious and, after NotEnrique endangers her and she learns the truth of his new double life situation, the two grow closer as she joins in on the adventures, and prepare to go to the Spring Fling together. They ultimately decide to skip the Fling, and instead dance near a cliff overlooking the city, almost kissing.
During Part Two, Claire is determined to rescue Jim from the Darklands after he saved Enrique first. After everyone manages to get him back, Claire hugs him saying that she misses him and they both share a kiss. After an unconventional barbecue at her parents' house, Claire finally calls Jim her boyfriend and says that she does not care that her parents disapprove of it, and giving him a sweet kiss on the cheek officially becoming a couple.
In Part Three, their relationship starts to grow when Jim becomes jealous when Douxie starts flirting with Claire. He also does everything in his power to free Claire from Morgana’s control. After turning into a half-troll permanently, Jim becomes extremely depressed over what he has lost with her, uncertain as to what kind of life they could possibly have together. However, Claire proves her eternal love for him by staying by his side, hugging him when he is believed to be dead, and even deciding to go live with Jim in the new Trollmarket.
During Wizards, their relationship has only gotten stronger over the course of their travels. Claire is very protective of Jim in the 12th century where being a troll is punishable by death. The two are separated for a brief time, but when they are reunited, he is given news that traveling back to the present will cause the shard on his chest get closer to his heart and corrupt him. Jim does not wish to tell Claire this and instead spend what time they have left together. After the battle is over, he tells the truth, which devastates her immensely and she vows to find a way to save him.
After pushing the shard in his chest further in, Jim is transformed into a troll to save Claire and their friends. As Claire said, she refuses to give up on Jim despite attacking her multiple times. After finally getting through to him, Jim saves Claire, but is immediately turned to stone. Claire is left crying over his body before the rocks crumble into pieces and he emerges out, human once more. They are both overjoyed and the two gave each other a heartwarming embrace, ready to relive their lives together in Arcadia.
In Rise of the Titans, the two remain strong and trust each other when they split up with their different parties to stop the titans. After defeating the titans and losing a lot of their closest allies (including Toby), Jim decides to use the Time Stone to back and make events unfold differently. Claire is saddened that she'll likely forget everything she and Jim went through together, but he promises that he'll make sure they get back together, giving Jim one last kiss for good luck. After Jim goes back in time, he signs himself up for the school play again for the promise he made Claire.
Family[]
Barbara Lake[]
Jim with his mother, Barbara
After Jim's father left them around his 5th birthday, he and Barbara vowed to always take care of each other. To the present day, Jim has continued to care for his mother, kissing her goodnight, nurturing her when she was sick, as well as doing all of the cooking and cleaning in the house, even though it was Barbara who is supposed to care for Jim, making Jim somewhat of a mama's boy.
When Jim became the Trollhunter and met his new trolls friends, he was determined to keep it all a secret from her just to keep her from worrying. Unfortunately, she got worried either way. After Jim gets more involved in his occupation as a Trollhunter, his mom grows more worried, as he's begun to return home at late hours, argue, and keep secrets from her. He expresses discomfort that he must do such things but continues to and heatedly tells her that he doesn't want her to see Mr. Strickler again after she invited him over for dinner, even though she's fond of him.
Their relationship continued to strain and only seemed to worsen (though somewhat repaired thanks to a temporarily humanized Blinky) until, while waiting for Angor Rot to enter his house, she comes home early. Unable to make up a lie in time, he quickly reveals the truth to her and after Mr. Stickler is injured, causing Barbara to receive the same injury due to their intertwined fates, he brings her to Trollmarket to heal her. Vendel tells him the only way for Barbara to heal properly is to unbind her from Mr. Strickler, however, she would also lose her memories in the process. Barbara begs several times for Jim to remind her of his life as a Trollhunter when she comes to and promises that he will. Once she loses consciousness, he rushes her to a hospital in the human world so she can heal properly. After she reawakens, she asks Jim what happened. Happily (because she wouldn't believe him), he lies and tells her that she was in an accident, breaking his promise.
In Part Three, Barbara’s memory returns and she confronts Jim for breaking his promise and worrying too much about her. She explains to him that parents have to protect their kids and be concerned, regardless of what they do. Jim finally truly realizes what has done wrong and agrees. After Jim is permanently transformed into a troll, Barbara is just as shocked and saddened by this as Jim himself. When Jim runs away after realizing all the disadvantages to his new form, she expresses her undying love for him and that he will always be himself, regardless of what he has become. When Jim leaves Arcadia with Claire and the trolls to find a new home, Barbara expresses reluctance to let Jim leave town, but he promises to contact her all the time. The two then share a tearful goodbye.
James Lake Sr.[]
As implied by Jim himself, he had a strong bond with his father when he was young.
However, he was hurt and betrayed when his father left him and his mother to look after themselves on his own birthday. Jim even hates most his birthdays because they always remind him of when his father disappeared on him and his mother.
Other than that, Jim doesn't care about his father, which he affirms to Blinky in "Blinky's Day Out".
Friends/Allies[]
Toby Domzalski[]
Toby and Jim pose
Toby Domzalski is Jim's best friend and "sidekick". Since kindergarten, the two have remained inseparable and close like brothers. He is always by Jim's side no matter what during their battles. It is noted that Toby very possessive of Jim and likes to be the only one at his side. In the episode "Airheads", he is seen arguing and competing with Claire Nuñez for the position of Jim's sidekick. Claire even declares Jim and Toby the "dynamic duo".
At the end of the series when Jim leaves Arcadia to find a new heartstone in New Jersey, he gives Toby his job as the city’s protector and promises to return someday and contact him whenever he can.
In Rise of the Titans, when Toby sacrificed himself to help Jim defeat Bellroc and save the world, Jim was utterly devastated at the loss of his childhood friend. Toby's death was Jim's motivation to travel back in time and set things right, completely filled with joy when he reunites with Toby in the new timeline. After realizing that Toby is a worthy hero and not just his "moral support", Jim trusted his best friend enough to find the amulet in the canal so he can assume the role of Trollhunter.
Blinky Galadrigal[]
- “When I gaze upon you, do you know what I see? I see a champion, a friend... a son. A magnificent son.”
- ―Blinky to Jim[src]
Blinky comforting Troll Jim
Blinky is Jim's mentor and is very loyal to him. He often helps Jim with problems that he faces and looks up remedies to help him fight the rogue trolls and goblins. In "Recipe for Disaster", it is implied by Stricklander during a fight with Jim that Jim sees Blinky as his surrogate father, and the two have shared multiple bonding moments that could hint at this dynamic throughout the show, one of them being the two of them building a Vespa bike together that Jim had received from Blinky during Jim's 16th birthday. This father-son relationship is finally established in "Jimhunters" when Blinky comforts Jim after he becomes saddened by his new form.
In “Blinky's Day Out”, Jim says he finally has the chance to mentor Blinky, and looks out for him. He is also a great friend to Blinky, one of the few that doesn‘t make fun of him for his knowledge.
In Wizards, after Jim gets lost in time, he is completely astounded to learn that Blinky was not the same heroic and fatherly mentor he knows in his present, but rather a stubborn and ignorant coward, like most trolls.
AAARRRGGHH!!![]
Like with Blinky, Jim values AAARRRGGHH!!! as not just one of his mentors, but as a friend. Jim was completely devastated when AAARRRGGHH!!! sacrifices himself to save Toby. In fact, Jim admits that AAARRRGGHH!!!'s death was the main reason why he went into the Darklands alone, as he didn't want his friends suffering the same fate. Luckily, Jim was shocked and thrilled to learn from Toby and Claire that AAARRRGGHH!!! was alive and well.
Draal the Deadly[]
- “Fleshbag... Maybe you'll make a good Trollhunter after all. When that time comes, I will be proud to fight by your side.”
- ―Draal to Jim[src]
Jim and Draal reunited
When first entering Heartstone Trollmarket, Draal goes to Jim, demanding that he prove he's the new Trollhunter. After donning the armor, Jim grows frightened of Draal once he learns that Draal is Kanjigar's son, the last Trollhunter, and believes he himself is the amulet's rightful heir. Saying it's "training", he challenges Jim in the Hero's Forge with Vendel watching. Jim quickly loses and this causes him to question whether the amulet chose correctly. After his doubt settles and with his confidence restored, he asks Draal for a rematch. However, he grows fearful again once it's explained that a rematch would be to-the-death. In their match, Jim, using the knowledge he gained from reading A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore, wins the match, but ignoring the chants of the other trolls, doesn't kill Draal and instead spares his life.
Draal, exiled out of shame, takes refuge in Jim's basement and vows to protect his house. He trains Jim how to properly fight and continues to live with Jim for the remainder of Part One, even after he is welcomed back into Trollmarket. The two form somewhat of a bond and always trust each other, quite similar to Toby and AAARRRGGHH!!!'s relationship. Jim even admits that he sees Draal more than just his protector, but as one of his closest friends, so he most likely saw Draal as a brother he never had.
In Part Two, Draal was taken over by Gunmar, and Jim was reluctant to fight him since they're friends. Jim vowed to find a way to restore Draal’s free will.
In Part Three, when Draal was freed from his brainwashing, he helped Jim find Merlin's staff and the two started to work together better than before. Sadly, when Angor Rot and Gunmar arrived, a heated and violent battle occurred and Angor did away with Draal, who sacrificed himself trying to protect his friend.
Jim was completely heartbroken since this was the first everlasting death of a close friend he had to deal with in his life. In the end, Jim avenged Draal when he declared his victory over Gunmar to him.
Eli Pepperjack[]
Ever since Jim stood up for Eli when Steve shoved him into a locker, Eli has been deeply devoted to Jim and was genuinely shocked when he and Steve assumed he was evil. When Steve and Eli helped Jim and the others help the trolls escape Gunmar, Eli said that he has a lot of questions for Jim. It is also shown that Eli believes Jim to be the best person in the world and idolizes him.
However, in Part Two, he begins to have second thoughts when he and Steve start investigating some of the strange occurrences happening in Arcadia, in which Jim is connected. The duo initially believes that Jim is evil and planning to take over the town and try to stop him, but are soon proven that whatever Jim is involved in, he's not an enemy. Eventually, when Steve and Eli reveal that they knew about his life as a Trollhunter, Eli says that "[Jim] has a lot of explaining to do."
It's unknown if Eli's aware of Jim's departure and transformation into a troll. However, Eli seems aware that Jim is unavailable since he talks to Toby about aliens in Arcadia instead.
Steve Palchuk[]
Ever since Jim knocked Steve’s tooth out, Steve had spent a majority of the series trying to get revenge on Jim, either replacing him as Romeo for the school play, make him look bad, just to gloat at him, etc.
In Part Two, when Jim entered the Darklands and the other Trollhunters told everyone he had a terminal illness, Steve knew it was a trick and decided to find out about what was going on. As Eli and Steve teamed up to investigate, they assumed that Jim was part of an evil supernatural plot, but Steve finds out the truth himself that, whatever secret Jim is keeping, he's a protector of Arcadia.
After Jim figures out that Steve has seen him in his armor, Steve has gained respect for Jim and gotten over his pathetic vendetta against him.
Aja Tarron[]
- “You don't understand. My mama and papa did get hurt, and now bounty hunters are after us. This is why I am training to be a warrior. This is why I cannot be patient... I cannot lose anyone ever again.”
- ―Aja to Jim[src]
.jpg){kind=link}
The Warrior Princess and the Trollhunter
Originally, Jim and Aja first meet during a science fair in "D'aja Vu" while facing a trickster troll named Porgon, who stole a piece of Akiridion tech so he could combine it with his troll magic to restart time. Aja and Jim are the only ones who remember the time loop (due to Jim's magic amulet and Aja's serrator shield protecting their memories) and they team up to solve this problem. At first, Jim was surprised to learn that Aja is an Akiridion, but says it wasn't that strange to him, considering his experiences with magic and trolls.
Despite knowing each other for a short time, Jim and Aja have grown close and often discuss the importance of being a warrior, as Jim explains to the queen-in-waiting that it takes patience. When Aja expresses why she can't be patient, as she feels unable to protect the people she cares about and wants to prevent any more tragedies, Jim was understanding since he knows the feeling quite well himself. When they succeed in taking the battery away from Porgon, they are caught in public with their friends. They decide to use their tech and magic to go back in time and prevent Porgon from taking it (costing their memories of each other as well). Jim and Aja were both saddened by this but promised that fate would unite them again one day.
During "Lightning in a Bottle/In Good Hands", Jim takes Aja and Krel on a tour of Arcadia (while Aja tries to take Jim's amulet when she mistakes it for her missing serrator). She later helps him capture lightning in a bottle and says goodbye to him and his friends. During the Eternal Night War, Aja immediately recognizes Jim, despite his new troll form, but they don't interact (merely glancing at each other).
In the penultimate 3Below episode "Race to Trollmarket", Aja and Krel briefly greet Jim. Like before, he didn't seem at all surprised to know that Aja and her brother are aliens.
Krel Tarron[]
Unlike Aja, Jim has little interactions with her little brother, Krel, albeit it's clear that they're good friends.
Douxie Casperan[]
Despite having little-to-no interactions during Part Three, it has become clear that Jim has never liked Douxie the moment they first met, especially after he catches him flirting with his girlfriend, Claire, although they both likely seemed unaware of Jim's jealousy. He was also quite angry that Douxie was their waiter during their double date with Toby and Darci in "So I'm Dating a Sorceress". Later, Jim was pleased that Claire (possessed by Morgana) ordered Douxie to leave them be, making their potential feelings for each other go out the window more.
During the events of Wizards, Jim is quite confused to see Douxie in the 12th century before Claire explains he's Merlin's apprentice. Despite being jealous of him back in Arcadia, it is mentioned that Jim would always tip Douxie at the cafe he works at. Douxie is shown to not only support Jim and Claire's relationship, but would go at great length to protect the two as he sees them both as great friends and vice versa.
Strickler[]
- “Atlas, too, carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, and I'm concerned, like him, you're overextending yourself.”
- ―Strickler to Jim[src]
At first, Jim favored Mr. Strickler and looked up to him as a sort of father figure, which he admits to Claire and Toby in "Just Add Water". Even before he became the Trollhunter, Strickler is aware that Jim is overextending himself from taking care of his mother and struggling in class. As such, he calls him "Young Atlas." Jim even tries to convince himself that Strickler is not a changeling as he didn't want to accept the fact until Bular calls him "Young Altas," a nickname only Strickler calls him as. After he learns that Strickler is a changeling, Jim instantly felt betrayed by his favorite teacher. His hatred for Strickler continuously grows when he witnesses him going on dates with his mother and even placed a binding spell on him and his mother (whatever harm comes to Strickler, will happen to Barbara).
However, when Angor Rot loses his soul and is in pursuit to kill Strickler, he begs Jim to protect him, though he was instantly but understandably reluctant. After Jim saves his and his mother's lives by undoing the binding spell, Jim starts to believe that Strickler was beginning to change his ways and somewhat earns his trust again, though he admits that he still holds mixed feelings towards him. After Gunmar takes over Trollmarket, Strickler returns to Arcadia with Nomura so they could help train Jim.
After Jim permanently becomes a troll hybrid, Strickler shows pity for him and his mother, saying it's confusing to be human and troll, as he never had to deal with both at once since he had to ability to choose one or the other. When Jim says goodbye to his mother, Strickler wishes him luck on his journey and decides to stay in Arcadia to take care of his mother for him.
In Rise of the Titans, Jim was delighted that Strickler proposed to his mother. Jim was honored to be his best man and accepting him as his new stepfather. However, after he sacrificed himself to stop the Ice Titan, Jim was devastated, especially since his death was in vain. After traveling back in time, Jim allowed the pre-developed Strickler to see his mom and give him another chance.
Nomura[]
At first, Jim and Nomura saw each other as enemies on sight with Nomura mocking him as a fake.
However, after meeting each other in the Darklands under the captivity of Gunmar, they begin to form a friendship and even help each other escape the Darklands together. After which, Nomura thanks Jim for giving her hope and believing in friends. After Gunmar takes over Trollmarket, she returns to Arcadia with Strickler to help train Jim and later participates in the Eternal Night War with the Trollhunters.
Enemies[]
Gunmar[]
- “To wound me, one needs to be able to touch me, child. Tell me, Trollhunter, what should a father do to the one who MURDERED HIS ONLY SON?!”
- ―Gunmar meeting Jim in person for the first time[src]
Gunmar is Jim's archenemy. After he hears the death of his son at the hands of the first human Trollhunter, Gunmar instantly came to hate Jim, wanting to replace Bular with Jim by enslaving him or killing him. When the two finally meet each other in person, Gunmar immediately saw him as a weak and incompetent human, but later learns that he's one of the few humans that is not to be underestimated after witnessing his fighting skills.
In the Eternal Night War, Jim (avenging his surrogate brother, Draal) finally kills Gunmar and ends his century-year-old reign once and far all.
Bular[]
- “The amulet should never have chosen a human. You're too soft, easy to kill!”
- ―Bular to Jim as he tries to kill him[src]
Initially, Bular and Jim were enemies the moment they first confronted each other. Bular had every intention of killing Jim in cold blood, even though he was aware that he couldn't free his father from Killahead without the Trollhunter, though he just says that "there will always be other Trollhunters".
Of course, Bular underestimating Jim as a weak, pathetic human is what lead to his downfall.
Angor Rot (formerly)[]
Jim first noticed Angor in "Mudslinging" when he sends a Golem out to test his abilities. Later on, he mets the assassin in person after he traps him in stasis and paints his mark on his face, taking his command over Daylight. Despite trying to kill him and stealing the Killstone from him (all under Strickler's orders), Angor manages to propose Jim a deal that if he can steal the Inferna Copula from the changeling, he will sever his mother's connection with him. When Jim steals the ring, Angor unintentionally destroys it, along with his soul, but instead of blaming himself, he blames it on Jim.
As he goes on a killing spree to kill Jim and his loved ones, he kills AAARRRGGHH!!!, telling Jim that the reason he's still alive is because his friends always try to save him. Angor left a huge impact on Jim, which made him venture into the Darklands alone so his friends wouldn't get hurt like what happened with AAARRRGGHH!!!.
After Angor is resurrected, he vowed to kill Jim for killing him previously and stealing his eye. However, Jim then reminds Angor of the hero he used to be, which caused him to see the error of his ways. Angor and Jim try to kill Morgana together, only to fail due to her immortality.
Dictatious Galadrigal (formerly)[]
Jim first learned about his mentor's supposedly late brother, Dictatious, in "Party Monster".
However, Jim is clearly shocked when he learns that Blinky's brother is not only alive and living in the Darklands, but was actually working for Gunmar as his advisor (and by his own will nonetheless). When Dictatious learned that Jim's friends were trying to save him, he told Gunmar that the boy must live, but it was only because they wanted to escape as well.
When Dictatious reforms to warn the Trollhunters that Gunmar is on route to resurrect Angor Rot, Jim was understandably reluctant to trust him, due to everything Dictatious put him through during his captivity in the Darklands, but later realized that he was telling the truth. Jim and Dictatious have little-to-no interactions after that.
Queen Usurna[]
Jim first met the queen of the Krubera in "Wingmen". Usurna was initially skeptical about the human Trollhunter, even after she heard rumors about him.
In Part Two, it is discovered that Usurna absolutely despised Jim, due to his status as a human, and saw him as a threat to Gunmar's takeover (as well as her own). After he escapes the Darklands, Usurna convinces the tribunal to blame the Trollhunter for releasing Gunmar and she gives him an unfair trial to exile him to the Deep.
Jim has little interaction with the evil queen afterwards, but he is completely aware of her true nature, especially after she frames him for Vendel's murder (which she committed), much to his disbelief. He probably also believed that Usurna was responsible for Gunmar's release all along.
Morgana[]
- “Merlin's champion. I have so looked forward to meeting you... and then killing you.”
- ―Morgana to Jim during their confrontation[src]
At first, Jim was initially unaware of Morgana's existence, until the seemingly vile, bloodthirsty sorceress possesses Claire and tries to kill him.
During their confrontation face-to-face, Jim argues why she hated him on sight, even though he has done nothing to her. To which, Morgana spitefully reveals that Merlin took her left hand so he could make the Amulet of Daylight and mercilessly injures him with every strength of her magic, even trying to give him a slow and painful death. She also mocks Jim's abilities since his sword was built to kill trolls, and she could not be killed. When she unleashes her magic to kill his friends, Jim quickly steps in and takes the full blast, which almost kills him if not for his new half-troll form.
In Wizards, Jim is completely astounded when he meets Morgana's past self... and she's not the same monstrous witch who tried to kill him and his friends, as well as just endanger all of Arcadia with the Eternal Night. She genuinely did care about trolls and actually wanted to help them live in peace without fear of prejudice.
King Arthur[]
At first, Jim thought of King Arthur to be a king of great legends while he fought against Gunmar.
However, Jim later discovers that Arthur was at war with more than just the Gumm-Gumms; he raided, imprisoned, and executed innocent trolls and other magical creature he could get his hands on. After learning the truth about Arthur's prejudice, Jim loses a lot of respect for the late king, especially when he injures/corrupts him with an onyx shard and turns him against his friends.
It can be argued that Jim and Arthur are foils to one another, as Arthur is the example of the kind of man Jim could've become if he allowed his own emotions to overtake him. While Jim moved on from his own losses and still cared about the family he still has (magical and normal alike), Arthur, on the other hand, had never gotten over his loss of Guinevere and kept blaming his only sister, Morgana, for his wife's death (even seeing her as an abomination after her magic powers manifested). Also, Jim cared about magical beings and was chosen to protect both them from evil creatures, but Arthur despised magic, even when he was a boy (in fact, Guinevere's death pushed him into his extreme, genocidal crusade against them). Finally, while Jim was willing to sacrifice himself to save his friends from Morgana (and later Arthur), Arthur indirectly led to Morgana's death when he sliced off her left hand with Excalibur.
Arcane Order[]
Jim has clearly heard of the Arcane Order before, but has little to no interactions with Bellroc and Skrael. However, it is clear that Jim finds them deplorable after they sent their enforcer, the Green Knight, to attack him and his friends, and even trap his soul in the Shadow Realm by his corruption.
By the time he regains his humanity, Jim's aware that the Order is still at large with the Genesis Seals and understands how much of a threat the demigods pose to Arcadia and the entire universe if they find their defected member, Nari.
Later, Jim battles against the Order in many confrontations, especially Bellroc. Bellroc also taunted Jim about the loss of his amulet and treated him like a helpless little boy, and eventually Jim succeeded in stabbing Bellroc with Excalibur.
