Jim Plunket

Jim Plunket is a mountain of a man, tall and broad-shouldered, with a presence that commands respect the moment he steps into a room. As the bouncer at the Pearl, Never’s upscale gambling hall and brothel, he is known for his unshakable calm and steady demeanor. His patience is legendary: Whether it’s breaking up a brawl or quietly escorting an unruly drunk out into the night, Jim always handles things with a measured hand. His deep voice is as soothing as it is firm, and he’s earned a reputation for keeping the peace with little more than a raised eyebrow and a well-timed word.

But beneath Jim’s calm exterior lies a past he’s worked hard to bury. Before Never, he was once part of a notorious outlaw gang, skilled in violence and strategy. His life with them ended in a brutal ambush that left him the sole survivor, carrying the weight of betrayal and regret. He walked away from that life, seeking peace in the Pearl, but his past still haunts him, and he is quietly waiting for the day it catches up.
