James has always been a scraggly fellow. Because he was the son of British factory owner, he often received the bullying of the poor children. When he was in school, he often spent recess off in the corner, to avoid any trouble.

As a result, when James finished primary school, he was taken out of the public school system and sent to a private tutor. Here, he studied modern sciences and engineering. He also began to work for his father, maintaining and repairing the machinery in the factory. As he got older, he even suggested a few improvements.

His education was going well and he was just accepted to Oxford when he got charged with robbery. He never figured out who was behind it (it wasn’t him), but the goods were found in his garret and so there was enough evidence to send him to jail. Hoping to get out sooner, James joined the army, and because of his education, he was placed in the newly formed British light infantry (43rd Regiment).

He fought against the French for 5 years till the war was over, and he did not leave the army unchanged. All the horrors, and one particular event where he was involved in the slaughter of a Spanish village (Mués), thought to be containing French sympathizers, dulled his conscience.

He has recently just been released from his service and arrived back in London. His goal is to find his brother, make a living, and hopefully get back into Oxford at some point.
