I'm not sure a project manager is the same thing as a manager. Is this person your direct report?

[dvanwag]

As far as I am aware. I was not given the individual's name for "privacy reasons". I was explicitly told it was someone under me, but that could be anyone of 20-some odd people.

You are a project manager. You have no one under you.

A lot of project managers like to pretend that they are real managers. Some of them might even believe that developers are their reports.

If he has no direct, on my past jobs, project managers were also expect to keep the head cooler than engs because they were facilitators and mediators.

In most cases, most certainly not. If the OP was hired as a managing PM with direct PM reports, that's a different story. It is unclear what the context is.
