These include Claudia, the estate's administrator; Sir Thomas Ringstone, James's legal advisor; Peter, his school friend; and James's girlfriend, Sabrina. James's rise on the world scene will be meteoric, but in time he will learn his true destiny, purpose, and fortune within the universe is far more important.
