Reason for Volunteering: Sam, the person that saved James, was fighting the flu when the lights went out. Without power or heat; or worse, [i]them[/i] coming up from their holes, there's a far greater chance she could die. For James, that isn't an option.

History: James has only been in the compound for 8 months; prior to that, James refuses to talk about. When he arrived in the Colony he was half-dead, emaciated from starvation and with boot heels that had been worn through almost entirely. He would have walked right passed the Colony had it not been for a scavenging party that happened to notice him trudging along. Once they attempted to make contact, James collapsed. It was only by the work of Samantha Elo, the party's medic, that James survived. When he woke up 3 days later, he found himself in Sam's home, slightly less dead than he had been when he arrived. Once he had been nursed back to health he decided to stick around, joining a scavenging party and regularly going out on supply runs. He has sworn what one could call a life-debt to Sam; since she saved his life, he would do the same whenever the opportunity arose. 

On August 24th, he got his chance.

Extra: Unless he needs to, James rarely speaks short of short affirmatives or negatives.
