Command Seal Location: Left Forearm
Wish: To Save his crippled sister
Origin: Anti-Magecraft
Appearance:


Personality: Presenting himself as rather cold and unattached, James has a personality expected of a seasoned assassin rather than that of a young man not even out of his teens. He is able to change his demeanour quickly, adapting to what he perceives to be the best course of action if he needs to, but his usual personality is gentlemanly but cold. He upholds good manners, but rarely smiles and doesn't care for the emotional state of those he is talking to. When angered, he behaves in much the same way as he usually does, but is notably more violent. He is also harsh against those that he views as wasting time or incompetent.

Despite this, he can come across has more easy going and caring around people he trusts, including his Servant and his family. He likes to banter with his servant while not fighting, and will occasionally make witticisms about events or circumstances. He doesn't show regret or remorse for what he has done, or how he lives, but occasionally admits regret about leaving his family behind when they needed him.

Biography: Born and raised to a minor magus family in England, James has always been an outlier to normal mage society. He was largely disinterested in the magical training and was more interested in things typical of normal boys, but still excelled in his lessons out of respect for his parents. His sister was born 4 years after him, and they were very close from the start. This all changed when he turned 12, when his family was attacked by a group of rogue magi. His father was killed, his sister crippled and his mother also seriously injured while he himself was rendered unconscious with multiple severe injures, but not before he witnessed a freelance spell-caster eliminate them all using a combination of magecraft and kenjutsu (japanese swordplay). The woman, Shirogane Aoi, was incredibly skilled and defeated them all without a scratch. This event and the injures he received to his magic circuits caused his origin to change as a result of a hatred of mages he had very quickly grown.

When he recovered enough, he sought her out and begged for her to train him. After weeks of begging, she finally relented and took him under wing. After informing his mother of his decision, he had to leave her and his sister (who was put into a coma to help her heal) to travel with Aoi while he trained as an assassin specialising in anti-mage contracts. In the following 6 years, he trained in many skills, magical (even developing a unique form of magecraft) and non-magical (including Marksmanship, Kenjutsu and 3 languages; German, Russian and Japanese). In that time, they also investigated the group that attacked his family, but Aoi refused to allow him to hunt them down until he was ready. On his 18th birthday, she let him go before mysteriously disappearing. He hasn't seen her since.

After taking down the ringleaders of the group in a string of systematic assassinations, he travelled back to England to reunite with his family. Already aware of the grail wars, his subconscious wish to save and protect his family marked him as a Master for the next war.
