Jim Kowalski

Jim Kowalski is a British cryptozoologist, who is friends with Alfred Baumgardner and Lord Bung.

Childhood
Jim claims that as a child he was bit a reptilian, which led to him dedicating his life to cryptozoology.

Meeting Alfred Baumgardner
Jim got in contact with Junji Baumgardner, a fellow cryptozoologist from Japan, with whom he wanted to some research with.

Junji and his brother Alfred picked Jim up from the airport, but had to stay the night at a nearby hotel, because their car was hit by another vehicle. It turned later out that the accident was designed by the owner of the hotel, who wanted to sacrifice the three men to the many supernatural beings living in the hotel, and in the ensuing chaos, Junji was killed.

Saddened by this, and after discovering the necronomicon, Jim and Alfred decided to dedicate their lives to fight the supernatural and occult to avenge their dead loved one.

The History Channel
At some point Alfred and Jim managed to get the History Channel to green light a documentary series about cryptozoology, called Cryptic Control. Despite the fact that no supernatural being was ever discovered, the show was renewed for a second season.
