Even though he was born to a family that seemed to have everything together, it was far from the truth. From the moment he came into the world James had been given expectations to meet and if he didn’t then he would be met with consequences. The Jolly Roger had been passed down for generations from his great great grandfather who had started fishing and selling seafood at a small booth the Isle. From there it continued to grow until the entire Isle had relied on them for all of their boating and fishing needs. James knew from a young age that his destiny lied in his family’s business but it wasn’t until he was old enough that his father showed him what it was they really did there. Starting with his grandfather, the company had been laundering money and taking control of the surrounding ports so that no one else was able to take their business. It had been strategically planned since James’ youth, he would be groomed to take over in his father’s place but it came much faster than any of them were intending. He was only twelve when his father got into a fatal boating accident and the rift in the family became clear. His mother reigned supreme in their home, constantly berating and blaming her son for the accident at sea. It was during a training sail that it happened where James missed a queue from his father that resulted in the man beind thrown overboard. After that his mother considered him as less than a son and more of a convenience. If it was up to her he never would’ve gotten control of the company but it was written in his father’s will that everything would go to his son when he turned eighteen.
The incident changed him, James dedicated his life to the business and bettering it in whatever way possible. His mother became his enemy, fighting anytime they got the chance. She started to place all of her own problems onto her son and he knew the moment he turned eighteen that she would be removed from his life. He trained until that moment, waiting until he could take over the company he had been built to run, and when the day came he gave himself to it entirely. After getting his degree, James started to grow his empire. First, he targeted the Dreyfus family, knowing that an alliance with them would be crucial. That was easy but he had other things in mind. They had become his first test to see if he was able to take more than he got. Still, just as things had started to fall into place it all came back because of a young boy named Peter Pan. It should’ve gone off without a hitch, using the younger of the sisters for leverage but his plans were foiled before they even started. This was also the first time he’d ever seen magic in real life, having only heard rumors circulating that the isle was a hub. Now he knew it to be true and decided to use this information to do himself some good. The boy took more than his plan but his hand, having gotten stuck after seeing the ability Peter had presented. That’s when he made it his goal to personally destroy his life, starting with his dream. This also gave James the idea that he would join forces with the hunters having met Gaston through Atta and hearing what he’d been searching for. He wanted to destroy the boy that had destroyed him. Although Peter stole his hand he didn’t let that get in his way, quickly getting back to work as normal and diving in even deeper to follow through with his plans. Now, he seeks not only the boy who ruined him but a magic that can heal him and he’s going to find it no matter the cost.
The day he lost his hand was due to getting it caught between a wall and a vehicle. With no other way to escape James used his own pocket knife to sever his hand and vowed to seek revenge on the boy who caused it.
Even though beneath the surface there is more heart than people think, he has been trained since birth to hide that side of him.
He's never said it but his right-hand man, Smee, is his best friend. James truly doesn't know where he'd be without him, even if he is sometimes an idiot.
He is very sensitive about his hand and doesn't like to talk about it. If people ask he usually doesn't have a very kind response.
James is skillfully trained in sailing, sword fighting, and stealth. His father made sure of that before he passed, wanting his son to be prepared for anything.
Since the borders closed he has been smuggling things across the bay from the Isle seeing as though the water is the only way to do so.
