The pronoun 'him' is an objective case personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a male as an indirect object, direct object or object of a preposition.

Examples:

Jack is at the airport. I'm going to pick him up. (direct object of 'to pick up')

Today is Jack's birthday. I made him a cake. (indirect object of 'made')

Jack starts school in the morning. I have to pack a lunch for him. (object of the preposition 'for')

Note: The corresponding personal pronoun that takes the place of a singular noun for a male as a subject is 'he'.

Example: Jack starts school in the morning. He is excited.

The pronoun 'him' is a personal pronoun.
A personal pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.
The pronoun 'him' takes the place of a noun (name) for a specific male as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Examples:
My brother will pick me up. I expect him at two. (direct object of the verb 'expect')
I'll get another piece of this cake for him. (object of the preposition 'for')

The corresponding personal pronoun that functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause is he.
Example: He loves chocolate cake. (subject of the sentence)
