Jim Odingo was an officer in the New Mombasa Police Department. He was guarding the NMPD Headquarters when former policeman Marshall Glick arrived and went on a killing spree against his former co-workers, whom he believed had "wronged" him in one insignificant way or another. Jim, along with Roberto Bustamente (another policeman that Glick killed) and Glick, were touted as heroes by the Propagandist Stephen, who said they were all killed by Covenant snipers (who were in turn killed by the civilian resistance, who had made a makeshift flamethrower out of a can of gasoline and a leaf blower).
