Character from The Expanse by James S.A. Corey

Also known as: Holden, James Holden, Jim, Captain Holden, Captain
What They Know
- The Canterbury's distress call at the Scopuli was a trap — the stealth ships that destroyed her were built by Protogen using Martian technology
- The protomolecule is an alien technology sent to Earth's solar system billions of years ago — it was intercepted by Phoebe before reaching Earth
- Broadcasting information widely is safer than keeping secrets — secrets create power imbalances that get people killed
- The Rocinante is a stolen MCRN corvette-class warship, legitimately salvaged under maritime law during the Canterbury incident
- Jules-Pierre Mao funded Protogen's protomolecule weapons program with backing from UN officials including Errinwright
- The ring gates connect to over thirteen hundred habitable systems — each gate is a potential chokepoint and political flashpoint
- Miller's protomolecule ghost is not truly Miller — it's the protomolecule using Miller's neural pattern to investigate what killed the ring builders
- The Laconian Empire built their fleet using ring builder technology found in the Laconia system — ships that dwarf anything humanity has built
