==Training (2517-2525)==
"Candidate-005 has an introverted personality and only interacts with a select few of the fellow Candidates. He has shown potential in leadership and could manage to become one of the leaders of Spartans if he were to show more initiative." 
- Doctor Halsey on James's progress 
On Reach James was trained by Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the "dumb" AI Déjà. James was shown to be gifted with explosives and later rivalled Grace-093 though the two would later be placed in teams together. In 2519 him and his fellow trainees were sent to the Military Wilderness Training Preserve for a mission of where each trainee needed to find a way to get back to base with one piece of a map but all of them meet at one of the forests river and was placed one a team with Samuel-034, Linda-058 and Fhajad-084 to scout the area for John-117, the mission was successful. James became friends with John-117, Kurt-051, Randall-037, Anton-044, Kirk-018 and Kelly-087 who he'd later have romantic feelings for. James was transferred to Blue Team many teams on team exercises but trained with Green Team for the rest of his time in the training. Months later James and the Trainees were sent to Emerald Cove for a a training exercise where they sabotaged and left Mendez and their Drill Instructors behind and lived on the island for a few days, after a few days of living on the island Mendez and their Drill Instructors tracked them and later severely punished the Trainees. In July 14, 2523, James and his fellow Spartan-IIs Trainees had begun training in war games against the cunning Tango Company. After a War Game exercise James encountered a squad of the Marines that brutally attacked James but he managed to break 2 of the Marines ribs and the knock out the squad leader before he got knocked out and was thrown into a flight of stairs after Mendez found him the Marines excuse was the "He tripped down a flight of stairs" after a week of recovering he was putted back into training with others. On March 9, 2525 James and the other Spartan's went through a procedure called the "Augmentations" at the Medical Facility Endurance. After successfully going through the Augmentations him and the remaining 33 SPARTAN-II's held a funeral for their lost comrades on the ship UNSC Atlas. Afterwards, they returned to Reach for the last phase of training in Highland Mountains. 
==First Contact with the Covenant (2525)==
After the Covenant attack on Harvest the 33 Spartans were briefed on what happened by Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth and the ONI AI, Beowulf. In response to this new threat, the training of James and the rest of the Spartan-IIs were to get to the last phase of training earlier than planned and the Spartans were sent to the Damascus Materials Testing Facility on Chi Ceti IV to collect their MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armour. 
They were escorted by the UNSC Frigate Commonwealth but on their way to Chi Ceti a Covenant ship The Unrelenting attacked the frigate. The Commonwealth was able to hold off of the Covenant warship and the Spartans were deployed and were fitted into their new Mark IV Power Armour, the spartans were given limited time to train in their newly equipped MJOLNIR Mark IV. James along with Red, Green, Gold and Blue attacked The Unrelenting John-117 had James and the teams embark to the ship on thruster packs but Samuel-034, Kelly-087 and John-117 made it aboard the ship while the Spartans were left to drift in space and be picked up by pelican dropships, back to the Commonwealth and the battle was won but only at the cost of Samuel-034's life. A couple days later the Spartan's along with James held a private funeral service for Sam aboard the UNSC Persian Gate.
== Nepsi V (2525) ==
James, Kurt-051, Anton-044 and Randall-037 would be apart of a security detail protecting the Admiral of 4th Fleet on the insurrectionist planet of Nepsi V, as James and the rest of the Spartans were escorting the warthog that was the admiral was supposed to travel in was bombed and the Spartans were engaged in firefight with insurrectionist forces for 2 hours until reinforcements from the 7th Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Battalion where he'd meet Private First Class Marcus Stacker and Private Frank Woods who he'd form a friendship with. The next objective for the UNSC forces was to mark a target on the capital city where the main insurrectionist installation was, after marking the targets a squadron of Longswords bombed the military installation, the UNSC forces would manage to take over the planet and put it under UNSC Control.
== Sigma Octanus IV (2552) ==
James along with John-117, Frederic-104, Kelly-087 were deployed on Jericho VII for a couple days along with Red Team and Green Team. They fought on Jericho VII for three days but on the last day of the battle Blue Team had an objective to draw out the Covenant's rear guard so that Red Team could slip in and arm a tactical nuke the mission was a success and killed thousands of ungoy in the process of this tiny victory for the UNSC, the UNSC lost the space battle forcing the Spartans to leave the battle and head to the frigate UNSC Resolute, John-117 requested to watch the planets glassing while James did the same but from ships mess hall. In July 17, 2552, James and eleven other Spartans went to Sigma Octanus IV to aid Battle group Leviathans fight against the Covenant, after their deployment to Alpha Headquarters John-117, Frederic-104, Kelly-087 and
James went to Côte d'Azur which was occupied the Covenant. Blue Team scouted the Côte d'Azur Museum of History while Red Team and Green Team escorted the surviving civilians to Alpha Headquarters to investigate Covenant activity which was considered "strange" and find what the Covenant was looking for which lead them to underneath of the museum, James kept a ground-receiver which helped established contact with the rest of the Spartans deployed on the planet.

:"Home Sweet, Home."
:— James-005.
:After the Covenants great defeat on Sigma Octanus IV the remaining Spartans were requested to be sent to Reach. After their arrival on Reach James was sent to a medical facility to get a flash cloned arm to replace the one that was melted by a fuel rod cannon, James later got access to his Mark V Armour and was later briefed on Operation along with the other Spartans. While aboard the UNSC Pillar of Autumn the Covenant had begun their invasion of Reach and the Spartans were deployed but instead of going with Red Team John-117 chose him for Blue Team along with Linda-058, the trio of Spartans crashed their pelican into Gamma Station and John ordered him to secure the C-12's while Linda and John gave him covering fire. Covenant Rangers were sent near their position. James had almost secured all of the C-12's but 3 needles hitted the tank of his jet pack and one other needler hitted his right shoulder pad sending him flying into space his last words that James tried to speak to John through the com channel but all John could hear was static and a few words,
:"Can control where i'm going... Those needler roounds made my jetpack barely usable, i'll have to stay here for now. Can't try and re-group with Red Team their everywhere. See you on the other side Blue Leader..." -- James as he drifted away from Gamma Station
:due to his body not being found in the battle James is considered M.I.A. But there are rumours from civilians of a Spartan falling from the sky.
