Personality
Jamie is a shy and anti-social teenager and is really smart. He is also introverted and self-conscious. After the death of his best friend when he was 10, he spent most of his teenage years with depression and anxiety and was closeted. During the events of the show, his marks went down due to his mental health while his professors thought it was because he had no friends due to his antisocial behaviour. After befriending his friend group and eventually dating Alex, he started getting more outgoing and confident. He also became open about his sexuality. He is also shown to be soft-spoken and not stereotypically masculine.

Pre-Series Life
Jamie was born on the 18th of November 1990 in Essex and the youngest of 3 children but the only family member shown in the series is Arnold. He is of Syrian and Israeli descent. He was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis since birth and went through multiple procedures. He also had to be on oxygen throughout his life due to respiratory issues. When he was 10, he befriended and eventually dated Jayden prior to his disappearance. Throughout his teenage years, he discovered his powers but it is unknown how he got them and didn't know how to control them. He remained quiet and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. At that point, he stopped being on oxygen due to insecurities.

Original Timeline
Jamie was going to turn 19 in Series 1 where his teachers saw how antisocial he is. Because of that, he joined a theatre club and formed a troupe with his boyfriend, Alex and his friends, Robin, Pat, Ashley and Kris. Jamie opened up to them on why he has been acting like a shy antisocial teenager. His best friend and former boyfriend, Jayden has been murdered. So together with his friends, they tried to solve this murder mystery. Jamie also discovered that his new friends also have powers.

Alternate Timeline
After saving Jayden from his fate in 2001, Jamie has changed in the next 8 years. He is dating Jayden and is more openly gay. He also had a lung transplant a year prior which couldn't be possible in the original timeline because Jamie doesn't want one. He wanted to check on Alex only to realise that he is dating Robin and he was drugged in 2001 when he was 13 resulting in him having epilepsy. He also discovered that Simon is dating Ashley and Jim is studying in Edinburgh.

Limits
Sometimes, when he uses all his powers at once, his nose starts bleeding and then he passes out. He is also shown to not be able to control his powers prior to meeting his friends so he could often get headaches and loose his focus. This is the reason why his marks have been going down.
