Line 6:
Ellison, the sentinel, has five heightened senses and a genetic predisposition to protect his tribe. In this case, the city of Cascade. Blair is an anthropologist who specialises in ancient cultures, specifically the mythic tribal watchmen of old, and has a predisposition to attract every psycho to set foot in Cascade. Blair acts as Jim's guide, teaching to use his senses and act like a half way nice guy. Jim acts unofficially as Blair's 'blessed protector' by keeping Blair from getting killed by the various psychos he attracts.

* [[Really Gets Around]]: Blair. But not as much as [[Yaoi Fangirl|some fans]] would like.

** In the third season, it's revealed that he actually had his abilities in childhood, but repressed them then after witnessing a murder. Jim is big on repression.
