Tim could pretend to be Jack, if he wanted to. Like, actually act instead of the half-assed impressions that he usually did on Elpis. But that would require him to actually want to pretend to be anything like that absolute cockstain, and honestly not doing that has worked out way better for him so far.

It's really weird, though, how Krieg is all... coherent. Most psychos don't talk about much more than meat and murder, which, okay, Krieg still does that a lot, but he can also hold an actual conversation? Sometimes?
