## **About**

Jamie Volk is the Partizan to Princess Eleanor Prudence Wolfson, but is posing as the Partizan for Eleanor's Portman, Charlotte Edith Pumpkin (otherwise known as Lottie Pumpkin). He is also the son of Claude Wolfson, who is Ellie's exiled uncle and the true successor to the Maravish throne, making Jamie the Prince of Maradova. He is a highly trained Partizan who's job is to protect the princess at all costs. He lives in the Maravish Royal Palace and is an Ivy student at Rosewood Hall.

### **History**

Jamie Volk was born on July 26th to Hirana Rajput in the palace of Maradova. Hirana was desperate to give birth to Jamie somewhere safe as she had just been targeted and gravely injured by members of the association Leviathan under Claude Wolfson's (her husband and Jamies dad) orders. This left her no choice but to go to her husband's family (the King and Queen) and she begged them to let her give birth there. They accepted, and Jamie was born in the palace. His mother died shortly after he was born and the King and Queen would later go onto lie to him and tell him that his mother died in childbirth, thus being the reason why Jamie doesn't like to celebrate his birthday as it reminds him of his mother. Because of the terrible acts that Jamie's father had committed, the Maravish Royal family decided that Jamie would go onto be their daughter's (Ellie Wolf, Jamie's cousin) Partizan, even though Jamie had no idea of his heritage or what his father did. Jamie was trained to be Ellie's Partizan by Sir Olav, who was the King's Partizan. He excelled in this, and was always ready to put Ellie's safety and well being before his own, which was the role of a Partizan. He was described as being quite a serious child, this is probably because his lack of love from the Royal Family, and constant reminders from them that the only thing that mattered was Ellie's safety and not his own feelings. He was given a pendent of a wolf along with the rest of the family to symbolise their last name and their loyalty to it. He would often be the one to (try to get) Ellie out of trouble and play with her while growing up. Neither of them had any idea that they were closely related as they had both been told that they had no other family. In the fourth book, Ellie recalls the day when a picture of the Maravish Family was painted, and how she had encouraged Jamie to play outside with her beforehand. Ellie tripped and got mud all over her, their grandmother had found them both and had been furious at Jamie for letting it happen, and as a result made Jamie sit very still and quiet and as punishment Ellie had to watch this, the longer she squirmed, the longer Jamie had to sit still. This shows how harsh they were on him, even as a child. Jamie has always loved music and seems to be quite talented when playing it, he is shown playing the guitar and singing with Ellie in the first book and playing teaching Lottie how to play piano in book two.

## **Personality**

In his debut chapter in the first book (Undercover Princess), he is portrayed as a rather cold and witty character. He is very mysterious and brooding. He keeps up this demeanour for most of the series, however he has also been showed to be very caring and funny as the books progress. He particularly shows this around Lottie, thinking that she is someone who deserves to be protected from the worlds horror, and he is also shown to act this way around Haru. He is also rather humble, as shown several times in the books when girls and boys would giggle and blush at his attractiveness, which he would pretend not to notice to save their embarrassment, and also partly because he doesn't know how to react. He can be very sarcastic towards people. He is often shown with a scowl or an exasperated look on his face, mostly towards Ellie whenever she does something he doesn't approve of or something that would get them in trouble. Jamie has trouble accepting help from others as he has always been told that he has to help the Princess.

He is also shown to be very protective (usually most around Lottie, but all his friends are important to him) due to his partizan nature and his caring attitude. He is constantly worried about getting 'distracted' from his job of protecting Ellie, mostly by Lottie and Haru, so therefore he tends to keep himself reserved while still looking out for them from afar. Whenever he feels like he has failed at his job as Partizan, he withdraws himself from the others, thinking he is not good at his job, even going as far as to take off his wolf pendent, this can be shown at the end of book two (Princess in Practice) and at the beginning of book three (The Lost Princess). However he relaxes and is able to have a good relationship with his friends again. He is seen to show a soft, less serious side around people he deeply cares about.

At the end of the fourth book when Jamie finds out his true heritage, he is shown to feel betrayed by the people he thought were his friends and family, smashing his wolf pendent like his father had done before him and leaves abruptly with Haru alongside him without any word except for a letter to Lottie. He once again is shown to be very serious and angry due to everything.

## **Undercover Princess**

Before Jamie is introduced, Lottie can see Ellie unpack a picture of both of them while preparing their rooms, and Lottie wonders if Jamie is her boyfriend. Jamie is first introduced in chapter 14 and his arrival causes quite a mysterious vibe around Rosewood. Jamie was sent by the King and Queen of Maradova to watch out for Ellie because the latter had been behaving badly despite her promises that she would be a model student there. He goes to his first class and meets Lottie Pumpkin, and he is initially annoyed at her claims to be the true Princess of Maradova, having not being aware of her and Ellie's decision to switch roles beforehand. They continue to argue with each other in the first moments of meeting, until their English teacher starts the class and introduces Jamie to the other students, where Jamie states that there is no point getting to know any of them as he will be leaving soon, being under the impression that Ellie would return to Maradova with him, and shocking the other students in the class due to his straightforward and cold attitude. Lottie notices that since Jamie's arrival, Ellie had been acting strange and avoiding classes. Towards the end of the lesson, Ellie peeks in the window of the class, and when she sees Jamie is in there she looks shocked and runs away, leaving Jamie with a scowl and clenching his fists after her.

After the class, Jamie calls out to Lottie and tells her to wait for him, but Lottie keeps on running and tries to get to Ellie to ask her what is wrong with her. Jamie catches up with her and they both fall into the mud, leaving them both even more annoyed and angry at each other than they already were, and Lottie suddenly realises that Jamie is the boy from Ellie's picture. They are next seen waiting outside Ellie and Lottie's dorm room, hoping to talk to Ellie about Jamie's arrival. When Ellie eventually opens the door, she yells in panic upon seeing Jamie and to avoid causing a scene, Jamie and Lottie both cover her mouth and push her back into the room. Ellie is at a loss for words at seeing Jamie, who demands to know why Lottie was claiming to be the Princess when they first met, and is left with an exasperated look on his face when Ellie tells him that Lottie and her are switching roles to avoid Ellie getting unwanted attention. Jamie convinces Ellie and Lottie to come back with him to Maradova to talk to Ellie's family about her behaviour in school and the two girls' switch of roles.

The plane ride to Maradova is mostly silent, with Lottie feeling threatened by Jamie's angry appearance and describes him as a teen killing machine, one that she would rather stay away from. Ellie assures her that Jamie isn't as bad as he seems and they just need time to warm up to each other, despite Ellie and Jamie being at constant odds themselves due to their vastly different personalities. When they get to the palace, they get welcomed by the maids, which Jamie seems to have deep respect for, particularly Hanna. Jamie and Ellie try to prepare Lottie for the meeting with the rest of the royal family, and Jamie tries to convince Ellie to take it seriously. In the meeting, Jamie is mostly silent, letting the conversation unfold. When the details about Lottie's mother's death are read out loud, both Ellie and Jamie demand for them to stop, making Lottie reconsider her first impression on Jamie. When Ellie and the rst of her family are arguing, Jamie has a look on his face as if it happens often, and shows astonishment when Lottie furiously demands an explanation about what was going on and what a Portman was. After the rest of the family tell her, Lottie is officially pronounced as Ellie's Portman, acting as Princess of Maradova in Ellie's place.

After the meeting, the three teenagers are in Ellie's room discussing the details of the role of Portman. Lottie gets upset at the fact that Ellie had been planning this since the first week they had met, and Jamie calmly tells Lottie that Ellie was not in the position to tell her, and she didn't mean to hurt her feelings. Jamie is then confronted by Lottie as she says that he needs to trust her, and she has Ellie's best interests at heart just as much as he does. Jamie then considers this for a moment and agrees with her, much to Lottie's surprise that they had actually agreed on something for once. Later, on the plane back to Rosewood Hall, Jamie sits next to Lottie and tells her that he feels that she shouldn't have been brought to Maradova or been made as a Portman for Ellie although he doesn't tell her why he thinks this, leaving Lottie to believe that he thought that she wasn't good enough. She tells him that she is going to impress him, and Jamie smirks and hands her a book while assuring her that he knew she would. He then leaves her alone to find his own seat and is seen taking notes from his Midsummers Dream copy.

Back at Rosewood Hall, Jamie assigns Princess lessons with Lottie, where is often seen ticking or crossing things on his notepad whenever Lottie answers a question he asks her. He scowls at Ellie who constantly makes snide comments about the lesson, and Lottie is annoyed with him as he only seems to compliment her progress when making a verbal jab at Ellie that she should be following Lottie's example. It is revealed that everybody in Rosewood knows that Jamie is the Princesses Partizan, although they believe that he is Lottie's due to their switch. Jamie and Ellie then share a look with each other when Lottie questions why Claude Wolfson (Ellie's uncle) was not on the family tree that Jamie had asked her to memorise. They then explain to her that Claude was banished for not accepting or attending to his royal duties, and Jamie notices that Lottie becomes more aware about the situation that Ellie is in, and if she does the same as Claude she will suffer the same fate. He then smiles at Lottie as he hands her an invitation to the Maravish Summer Ball, aware that this will be her first debut as the Princess of Maradova. Jamie tells her that in order to attend this ball she must take etiquette classes from Lady Pricilla, which Lottie is shocked at. He then reveals that he is going for a run with Raphael WIlcox, the latter being in the same languages class as him and who he has formed an unlikely friendship with. Jamie shocks Lottie when he reveals that he knows about her trouble sleeping, and tells her that she should get some rest.

Jamie continues to teach Lottie the etiquette of being a princess in time for the ball, but he is adamant that Ellie teaches her how to waltz instead of him. After Ellie and Lottie get excited after Jamie helps them to figure out an anagram related to William Tufty, the school's founder, he dismisses them. He tries to grab Lottie's hand but hesitates and lets them go, following behind them. Jamie stands by the window as other students giggle at his presence while Ellie and Lottie open their gifts they received from Binah Fae in the library. Jamie goes over to the two girls to help them to figure out what the gifts mean. He gets reminded of the nursery rhyme of the Vixen and the Delicate Mouse while having a rare soft, considerate expression that Lottie was surprised at and couldn't look away from. They all think of the nursery rhyme with nostalgia and Jamie shows his less serious side. Lottie realises that Jamie might actually be excited about the poem and the puzzle that Binah had left them, but that quickly disappears when Jamie seems to remember himself and puts on his mask of a serious partizan again, and reminds Lottie that she needs to keep working on her etiquette class.

During the etiquette class three days later, Jamie is seen standing beside Lottie, running through the names of each attendee as they entered. As he was doing this, Anastacia Alcroft LeBlanc, her Partizan Saskia San Martin and fellow student Raphael Wilcox appear alongside them. Jamie tenses at Lottie's side when Anastacia tells them that she will be attending the Maravish Summer Ball with them. Jamie leaves Lottie to do the class, watching her from the sidelines with Saskia and Raphael. He watches as Lady Pricilla picks on Lottie whenever she does something wrong and sighs. When the etiquette students get told to practice the Waltz with each other, he sees that Lottie is approached by Prince Edmund Ashwick and watches them dance. After the class, Lottie and Edmund exchange a few flirty words and Jamie comes to her side and tells her that they have to leave immediately. Jamie then yells at Lottie and tells her that she is never to speak to Edmund again, leaving Lottie confused. They return to Lottie and Ellie's dorm room, and Ellie explains to Lottie why she cannot meet with Edmund. Jamie watches as Ellie explains her past reputation to Lottie, and why they cannot afford for them to be interacting. Lottie refutes this which leads to Jamie scolding her for being naive, and calls her a childish little girl, which leaves Lottie speechless. Ellie tells Jamie to calm down and says that he is not allowed to shout at her anymore. Lottie is shocked to see that instead of angry at them, Jamie looked pained. Lottie assures them both that she will do her best. Jamie smiles at this and leaves them to get on with their homework.

Jamie meets up with the others to watch Ellie and Anastacia's fencing match and stares at Lottie questioningly when Binah hands Lottie a tea flavour that will help her to sleep, and Jamie is worried that her lack of sleep with affect her role of Portman. When Ellie declares her childish challenge to the rest of the team, Lottie laughs at Jamie who can be seen covering his face with his palm in embarrassment. He then notices Lottie getting out of her seat and stumbling to the door. He looks concerned as she passes out from exhaustion. Jamie calls to her to wake up and when she does he informs her that she doesn't need to worry about ruining Ellie's tournament as she was only out for two minutes. Jamie questions her about her comment about the Princess and the Pea. She smiles at him and Ellie, indicating to them that she needed to tell them something important. Jamie and Ellie help Lottie to walk back to bed. After Lottie explains her theory as to why she hasn't been sleeping to the both of them, Jamie lifts up Lottie's matteress effortlessly and lets out a furious curse when they see a sigil of the Wolfson House that has a death mark on it. Jamie insists that they need to tell the King and Queen but Ellie and Lottie refuse. Jamie tells Lottie with a strained voice that she could get hurt, which Lottie replies by saying that it is her job as Portman to take on this responsibility. Jamie then stops her and asks if something like this has happened before, which Lottie and Ellie regretfully reply that it has. They tell him that Binah, Anastacia and Raphael were suspects. Jamie then critisizes them for not telling him sooner, and expresses that he cannot protect them if he does not trust them. Jamie then tells them that he already didn't trust the three, and that was why he was staying so close to Raphael.

At Christmas Time, Jamie gets called by Ellie to come and play guitar and sing for the party they have planned with the rest of their friends. She arrived there with Jamie and the guitar and greeted them all enthusiastically. Ellie kicked Jamie in the shin so that he would join in, and he reluctantly raised a party horn to his mouth, showing his clear unenthusiasm about the situation, making the others giggle. Everyone gathered around them waiting for them to sing, and Ellie declared that they would sing something for Lottie. Their voices harmonized together perfectly, and by the end of the song Lottie was crying while everyone stared at her. When Lottie declared that she needed some air, both Ellie and Jamie came to her side, and Jamie wrapped a blanket around her before being asked by Ellie to have a moment alone with her, and he returned to the party.

Later on, Jamie, Ellie and Lottie were walking through the Rosewood grounds when Jamie heard a sound and stopped Lottie from going any further. Jamie went towards where the sound was coming from and grabbed the attacker and pinned them to the ground. He then realised it was Raphael, who laughed nervously at Jamie's seriousness. Jamie asked Raphael if he was ok and he responded a bit too brightly. He told them that he was coming to get them to bring them to the Conch pool with Saskia, Anastacia and some other Conch students. Lottie reminded them that the Conch pool was off limits for the Christmas holidays, but to both Jamie and Lottie's dismay Ellie followed Raphael to see everyone. Jamie called for her to come back, but Ellie didn't listen, so reluctantly Jamie followed her, leaving Lottie to follow behind. At the pool, with Jamie and Lottie wrapped in blankets, Ellie started passing around drinks,and when Jamie told her he didn't drink she reassured him that it was lemonade, which he reluctantly took. Lottie betted to Jamie that one of them would fall in the pool, which Jamie responded saying he would push one of them, which left Lottie shocked at how he had a sense of humour. Lottie then asked Jamie if he wished that he could be an ordinary boy, to which he responded in a pained voice that he never would be. He explained to Lottie that he had to try to blend in with the other students as much as possible, which was hard for him seeing as his identity was known. He then teased Lottie and asked her if she didn't think he was like other boys. When she responded no, he smiled softly and laughed, until he looked serious again. He told her that it was his job to live his life for someone else, and that it took his childhood away. He reminded her that she was in the same situation as him, and that it was their choice to do this, as Ellie both meant so much to them. He leaned close to Lottie and Lottie realised that someone must have spiked his drink as he was acting strange. His eyes looked hazy and he asked her if she was still afraid of him, Lottie responded yes and Jamie told her that she didn't need to impress him, which she insisted that she did. He went closer to her and brushed her cheek while telling her that she was just a kid, to which Lottie blushed at and replied that he was as well. Lottie told him that he was drunk and a look of realisation was on his face. Before passing out, he said that Lottie shouldn't trust Anastacia, then he fell into the pool, bringing Lottie with him. Lottie managed to drag him out of the pool, and brought him back to conciousness. Relieved that Jamie was safe, she held him until help came.

Jamie was released from the infirmary just an hour after the incident and strongly claimed that he was fine and that he didn't remember anything that happened beforehand. Him, Lottie and Ellie tried to figure out why someone would spike his drink, while keeping a close eye on Anastacia. Soon Valentines Day came, and Jamie was giving Lottie a quiz on a story from a portman that Jamie had given her, and was confused as to why she was distracted. Lottie was surprised when she found out that her favourite story was the same as Jamie's, and Jamie listened while she explained it. Jamie glared at Ellie when she snickered after finding out why it was Lottie's favourite, and ended up watching the two argue over how dangerous the job of being a portman was. Lottie snapped at Ellie, saying that she shouldn't complain so much about her family because at least she had one, which left both Jamie and Ellie shocked. Lottie then announced that she was leaving. Jamie found her in the Rose Wood carrying her coat and a blanket. He expressed that he was sorry for forgetting that it was the anniversary of her mother's death, and listened as Lottie talked about how much she missed her, shocking herself at how easy it was to talk to him about these issues. He then led her back out of the woods and in to Rosewood where he told her that Ellie was waiting to apologise. They ran into Lola Tompkins and Micky Tompkins who were selling some of their father's confectionary. They scolded Jamie and said that he wouldn't get any, to which Jamie replied sarcastically that he didn't like sweet food anyway. Lottie then spotted Ellie and Jamie let her go to her.

When exam season came along, Jamie is shown to not having slept much, as he had dark circles around his eyes, suggesting that even he was nervous. He had passed, but was more worried about Lottie and Ellie's results. He told them he was proud of them when seeing that they both passed.

While Ellie and Lottie were discussing how Jamie became Ellie's partizan while trying on dresses for the Maravish Ball, Jamie told them to hurry up. They meet back at the palace and get greeted by the King and Queen. Jamie then walks in on Ellie and Lottie telling each other that they cannot tell Jamie about something, to which Jamie questions, surprising them. They try to explain to him that they had found another message, and Jamie responds by saying that he was disappointed in them as he had just told the Queen that everything was going well at school. Lottie told Jamie that she was capable of handling situations like this by herself and that Jamie should trust her judgement more, and Jamie responds with a wry smile on his face. They both realised that Jamie had been acting, and that the poem was a test for Lottie to see what she would do. He then left them alone and walked to his room in the palace, smiling warmly at Hanna until locking himself in and breaking down in tears.

At the start of the ball, Jamie briefly visits Lottie to wish her good luck and then goes to stand with Ellie as they watch Lottie make her debut as the Princess of Maradova. The Waltz is announced and Lottie is approached by Edmund, but she is then grabbed by Jamie who tells her that they will not be dancing together. Lottie suggests that they dance together instead and Jamie reluctantly agrees. While dancing together, Lottie tells Jamie what Ellie told her about Jamie becoming her partizan, and Jamie tenses up when she says that she would like to help him if she'd let him, and Jamie responded that he didn't think that he needed help with anything since she came along, but thanks her nonetheless. As the next dance starts, Lottie looks up at Jamie hopefully, until Jamie whispers in her ear that Ellie had arrived. He leaves them to dance together and slips out of sight.

Some time later, Ellie comes over to Jamie and tells him that she had let Lottie dance with Edmund, much to the annoyance of Jamie, and that they had wandered off somewhere. They started to panic and looked around the palace for them, and they eventually found them, Lottie being pinned against the wall by Edmund, her dress ripped and looking vastly uncomfortable. Jamie struggled to hold Ellie back as she stormed towards Edmund, but couldn't do anything as she punched him in the face. Ellie and Jamie made sure that Lottie was ok before Jamie started to stitch up Edmund's wounds caused by Ellie, although he did not look sympathetic and made sure it hurt while he did it. Suddenly Saskia appeared and offered to get Lottie a new dress, and Jamie reluctantly agreed, uneasy that she would get hurt again. While Lottie and Saskia were gone, Ellie and Jamie questioned Edmund about the messages he had been sending her. Edmund denied ever sending any, and Jamie realised that he was being genuine. Jamie and Ellie struggled to think of who would send the messages, when suddenly they heard Anastacia at the door. Jamie confronted her about them all being suspicious of her, when Anastacia revealed that she had nothing to do with it, but she was sure that Saskia was involved. Jamie and Ellie started to panic when they remembered that Lottie was with Saskia.

They looked around the palace for them, but when they couldn't find either of them, they decided to call her. Lottie answered and said she was fine, but Jamie guessed that something had happened and she was forbidden from telling them. She left them a reminder to save an apple cupcake from the buffet for her, and both Ellie and Jamie knew that it was a code, as she was allergic to apples. She ended the call by saying that she loved them, which deeply distressed both of them. They decided to go after them in a van that they found, with Jamie ready to fight Saskia and Ellie ready with a golf club. Jamie told Ellie to go back inside but much to Jamie's annoyance she refused. They eventually caught up with the van driven by Saskia and managed to stop it, Ellie charged at Saskia which resulted her getting a kick in the lip from her. This caused enough of a distraction for Jamie to steal the gun that Saskia had in her hand, and they fight which leads to Jamie overpowering her. Saskia is taken away, and Jamie sits down with Lottie and Ellie and wait for more help to come.

Some time later at the palace, the three teenagers are called into a meeting with the King and Queen, who critisizes Jamie for not doing his job properly and forces him to do extra training as a result. Ellie and Lottie try to object but Jamie gives them a sharp look, telling them to be quiet. Later, they are all sat in Ellie's room playing video games, most of them where Ellie is annoyed at Jamie for winning every time, and watching movies together. Eventually the topic of the kidnapping comes up, and Ellie stresses that Jamie shouldn't be punished, to which Jamie replies that he doesn't actually mind extra training and rather likes it. Lottie then makes jokes about the situation, something that Jamie understands to be a coping mechanism about the situation, as his method is to stay cold. He teases Lottie when she describes Ellie as an angel for fighting Saskia with a golf club, and states that she looked more like a demon. They continue to laugh together and have fun until Ellie eventually falls asleep in the blanket fort they had made. Jamie and Lottie stand on the balcony together looking out at the palace grounds. Jamie praises Lottie for thinking of herself while being in the van and not of Ellie, much to Lottie's surprise. He explains to her that he would be sad if she lost her kind and brave personality which causes Lottie to get annoyed, saying that she still doesn't think that he's convinced she would be a good portman. Jamie tells her that she has already exceeded her expectations, but she still has a long way to go. Lottie challenges Jamie and asks him to teach her how to be a good portman, and Jamie laughs openly and replies that he would.

## **Relationships**

Jamie Volk maintains many relationships throughout the series, most prominently with some of the main characters.

### Lottie Pumpkin

Jamie is implied to have romantic feelings towards Lottie in the first and second books. It is not until the third book, The Lost Princess*,* that Jamie finally admits that he has feelings for Lottie, and makes a pact with Ellie to not act on his romantic feelings towards her. When Jamie finds out that Claude is his father, in Princess at Heart he sets out to meet him, but not without the final goal of 'rescuing' Lottie from the Wolfsons. In Princess Ever After, he agrees to kidnap Lottie in order to have a proper conversation with her, and during this conversation Lottie gives Jamie his mother's ring. Lottie and Jamie end up kissing, but he doesn't feel the way he was expecting it to, realising his love for her was no longer romantic, but familial. He allows her to escape from where Leviathan was keeping her captive, and also helps her save Ellie during the Golden Flower Festival by betraying Claude, the leader of Leviathan. At the end of Princess Ever After, he and Ellie assist Lottie financially when she is given the opportunity to buy Rosewood Hall due to her ancestral links.

### Haruki Hinamori

Jamie first met Haru in The Lost Princess, when the group transferred to Takeshin gakuen in Japan. When Jamie first met Haru, he was tentative, keeping him at arms length. Despite the rest of the group knowing about Haru's true identity as a member of Leviathan, Ellie refused to let Lottie inform Jamie about it. Haru eventually followed the group to Rosewood in Princess at Heart, acting as a Teacher's assistant for the year, though his real intentions were to act out Leviathan's plans, which included getting closer to Jamie. During a play fight, Jamie discovered Haru was a part of Leviathan due to noticing a scar that he had caused by stabbing him in the stomach during his encounter with them in Tokyo. Once Jamie discovers the truth about his father, he approaches Haru and asks him to take him to Leviathan, in an attempt to run away from Rosewood. In Princess Ever After, Haru is shown to be extremely devoted to Jamie, mentioning that he was "Helping Jamie" when he set Lottie free while she was being held captive by Leviathan. Before this incident, Jamie and Haru share a kiss, though the moment is tainted due to Jamie's conflict over his feelings for Lottie. Haru is understanding about his situation. Jamie and Haru betray Claude during the Golden Flower Festival. In the epilogue, they are revealed to be life partners, and leaders of the new democratic system in Maradova.

### Claude Wolfson

In Princess at Heart, Claude is revealed to be Jamie's father. In the shock of Jamie discovering this, as well the fact that he was only Ellie's Partizan as punishment for what his father did, he runs away from Rosewood in order to join Leviathan. After his encounter with Lottie in Princess Ever After, where he received his mother's ring, Jamie finally comes to his senses and realises that his father had been manipulating him throughout his time in Leviathan. He, along with Haru, betrays Claude in order to help Lottie save Ellie during the Golden Flower Festival of 2019.
