Jim (Huckleberry Finn)

Jim is one of two major fictional characters in the classic novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. The book chronicles his and Huckleberry's 1830s raft journey down the Mississippi River in the antebellum Southern United States. Jim is an adult African American slave who has fled; "Huck," a 13-year-old Cacasian male, joins him in spite of his own conventional understanding and the law.
