History

James Wesley was a lawyer who always hung around Kingpin for any last minute orders, typically given in private. This made him the second most feared man in Kingpin's organization considering those orders could include when someone was to be killed, though it also included mundane tasks such as when he was directed to help locate Nuke.

Wesley later gave Mr. Switzer his check to leave the conglomerate, then seeing the devastation caused by Nuke in Hell's Kitchen, Wesley feared he could be connected to Kingpin's organization.

Later, Wesley was the Mayoral Chief of Staff under Wilson Fisk, until he was fired by Matt Murdock when he became the acting Mayor after Fisk was critically injured by The Hand. When Fisk recovered, he brought Wesley back in.

Notes

• In Daredevil #601, Wesley was identified as "Wesley Welch", but later in Devil's Reign: X-Men #2 he is still identified as James Wesley, and Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe treat both Wesleys as the same person and makes no mention of Welch.
