Investigator History
James was born in horse country, and followed the family tradition by becoming an excellent rider. When the WW1 started he joined one of the many cavalry units of the Brittish Army. Spared to the horrors of the trench war, he spent the majority of his service time in Palestine, culminating in the Battle of Megiddo and Allenby's subsequent raid. In the army he met his best friend, Col Amos Ambrose, who tuttored him when he joined the Cavalry, providing a rather ellaborate classical education that he lacked. Ambrose also had a pechant for non-classical literature, in occult topics that quickly grabbed young James attention.

He was fortunate to be able to buy his horse from the army, sparing him to the meat factories of France. Retiring to England, now an Ex-Captain of the army, he found that the contact he had with a vastly different culture, and his perception of life after the horro of war changed him dramatically. So much in fact that he spent several years moving north and south in the country, until finally settling in the peaceful Scottish borders, having found a place for himself as Captain of Kelso's Yetholm ride.

To this day he still refuses to share any stories of the war.
