Jim is the salesman known to always engineer pranks on his rival salesman Dwight. Though he is shown as being capable for a higher position, Jim stays at Dunder Mifflin because of his secret passion for the receptionist Pam.

He is easy going and loves plotting against Dwight, but his promotion as Co-Manager makes him show his more serious side.

Meanwhile, they accidentally found out that Pam was pregnant when he rushed her to the hospital after acquiring ankle injury in a volleyball game. They got married eventually.
