The following is a personality profile of James Lee Burke based on his work.
James Lee Burke is social and confident.
He is confident, he is hard to embarrass and is self-confident most of the time. He is empathetic as well: he feels what others feel and is compassionate towards them. But, James Lee Burke is also assertive: he tends to speak up and take charge of situations, and he is comfortable leading groups.
More than most people, his choices are driven by a desire for prestige.
He is relatively unconcerned with both tradition and achieving success. He cares more about making his own path than following what others have done. And he makes decisions with little regard for how they show off his talents.
