Falling Skies: The Battle of Fitchburg (comics)
Jamil was hiding at a story in Fitchburg, Massachusetts when the 2nd Mass was in the city. He thought Ben Mason, Rick Thompson and Jimmy Boland were those “things” (aka the Skitters) and that’s why he attacked them. After that, he joined the three and they went back to the headquarter of the 2nd Mass but the church was destroyed by the aliens. Later they found the rest of the 2nd Mass and Jamil joined them.
Falling Skies (Season Two)
Jamil is still a member of the 2nd Mass and started dating Lourdes Delgado. He became the new engineer and technology expert of the group.
