James Sprintz is a minor character in Point Blanc. When Alex arrives at Point Blanc Academy, James is the only boy who had not yet been imprisoned and replaced by a Dr. Grief clone. He becomes Alex's only friend at the academy. He often comments on the other boys' strange behaviour (who are, in reality, clones of Dr. Grief), and the day before he was captured and replaced, he had planned to escape Point Blanc. He is eventually freed by Alex and the SAS, along with the other real boys, when the school is raided.
According to Alex's notes, James is fourteen years old, German, and formerly lived in Düsseldorf. His father is Dieter Sprintz, a well-known financier and banker. His mother lives in England. He was expelled from his previous school for wounding a teacher with an air-pistol, and is described by Alex as being pale, with dark blue eyes and brown hair.
