James didn't know how capable Wilfred was, he just saw an old man. He was confident that he'd have to protect him one way or another. He thought Sekani let him come under a special circumstance.
He just didn't understand on what grounds did Sekani trust him so much with an old man to protect. They barely knew each other.
He mauled over it so much and settled on the fact that, maybe Dean Whitmore and Jesùs Silva vouched for him before they arrived at the Waynworth Estate.
