Personal Style: James' outfit varies considerably depending on the circumstance. While he's working, James tries to keep his outfit relatively professional, going with a comfortable suit, occasionally with a bulletproof vest underneath depending on just how dangerous the job at hand would be. Otherwise he is usually seen in standard flair of a t-shirt, trousers, boots and a dark jacket or hoodie. At home, he frequently can be found in bunny slippers and a fluffy pink bathrobe which he wears around the house.

Personality: The first thing someone would usually notice about James is his sense of humour. He has a habit of making his humourous nature known by cracking jokes at every opportunity. Sometimes his particular sense of humour can come across as somewhat over-bearing and even eccentric though, with his eccentricity only furthered by his insistance of coffee-powered propheticism. Despite this, James still can laugh at almost anything, and aims to make almost everyone he meets laugh. James doesn't seem to really hold any particularly great fears either, or he is at least able to keep them very much under control, often able to keep himself calm and charge into danger without concern.
Often James has been called overconfident for his insistence on putting himself in particularly dangerous situations. Highly confident in his own abilities, James seems to see it as an impossibility that he could ever fail, let alone die. Whenever he does rush in, James always does so with the intention of helping people, a goal which can often be missed or lost under his comedic facade, with many people assuming he simply does not take things seriously. When he does involve himself in things however, James can be quite difficult to remove from the equation, and has often been called overbearing in his work.

First Necromantic Encounter: On an assignment in the small rural town of Greenvale, Washington, James was assigned to investigate a series of murders with cult signs. As the investigation went on, James eventually discovered that the cult he was tracking down was led by a possessed individual. Not knowing how to deal with the situation at the time, he eventually dismantled the cult and killed the leader to force the demon out, who disappeared from the town following the encounter. Though he lacked the knowledge on dealing with demons, James took a particular interest in cults and the rituals many of them undertook, learning a great deal about them as a kind of specialty.
Life Before the Altsoba Massacre: Born in Langley, Virginia, James' father was a CIA analyst and instructor, and from a young age James was heavily affected by the stressful family life offered to most federal agents, often having to travel around along with his father, even overseas, and without any particular knowledge of what exactly his father did. Spending most of his time with his stay-at-home mother, James had little influence from a father figure throughout most of his young life, his sense of humour developing even when he was young as a kind of coping mechanism for what he often jokes about as 'daddy issues.'
Going through high school, James had a habit for making friends in every sort of group, staying out of trouble by being something of a social butterfly. Often he was able to get close enough to his fellow students to learn many of their secrets, a skill he discovered early into high school. As something of an unhealthy habit, James began to make a game for himself out of learning all he could about many of his fellow students, over time becoming infatuated with detective movies and shows, dedicated to his goal of becoming a detective. Going through university and studying criminal law, James started to get more in contact with his father again, the man encouraging his son to direct his interests toward the CIA instead.
Though he somewhat followed his father's desires, James found it more amusing for himself as he took a slight bit of rebellion, joining the FBI instead as he went through his training at the top of his class, eventually being assigned as a special agent to work alone. James spent much of his time since then travelling the country, looking into cases revolving around suicide killers and murders. Over time, his speciality changed into more occult cases, particularly focusing on cults, covens and ritual murders.
Life Since the Altsoba Massacre: Repeatedly since the Altsoba massacre, O.M.E.N has attempted to poach James from the FBI considering his previous experience and expertise revolving around rituals, however, he has refused to join the organization - finding many of their strategies and modes of operation much too violent for his liking. James has remained with the FBI, recently being re-assigned from an investigation in Oregon over to Coventry to investigate the deaths in the town.
Character Quote: "The coffee warned me about this."
Deviances: Claims to get a feeling of how his day will go from his morning coffee.
