Jim Quackerwitz is the older brother (by three years) of Quackerjack, a.k.a. Jack Quackerwitz. Jim dropped out of high school and moved away from home at the age of fifteen in order to escape the pressures to succeed placed on him by his father and grandfather. He is now a stage techie and travels the world with various rock groups, and occassionally stand-up comics. Although he is often asked how he could get a job working as a technician without ever having graduated from high school, he never gives a clear answer, so it is still not known how he managed it.
Jim is paid rather well for his work, but he has a tendency to spend his money faster than he gets it. He is always broke, always without a decent place to stay or a hot meal. He is a bit vacant at all times, leading most to belive that he uses illegal substances (which may or may not be true). Whenever Jim is in the St. Canard area, he will inevitably drop by Quackerjack's place to "borrow" cash or other commodities from his little brother, who grudgingly obliges, knowing full well he will never be repaid.
On one occassion Jim, while in St. Canard, took it upon himself to earn fame by becoming the masked vigilante "Teknoduk." He raided the band he was touring with at the time's costume closet and borrowed a lot of lighting fixtures and sound machines, as well as some of his brother's flashier toys. He attempted to get Darkwing Duck arrested but was foiled by the same. He hasn't tried any other costumed personas since then. (Fic is about half-written and God only knows if I will ever finish it...)
