James Earl Cash

James Earl Cash, also known as Cut-Throat, is the main protagonist from the Manhunt series.
== Charactah Account ==
James is a death row convict, whose execution is faked by Lionel Starkweather and is subsequently set loose in Carcer City to be the "star" of a snuff movie. Starkweather attempts to have him killed in his last "scene", but Cash escapes the assault, vowing to get revenge. After slaughtering his way through the director's mansion, killing all of the guards and Piggsy, Cash finally kills Starkweather. It is unknown what happens to Cash after the events of the game, though the "J.E.C. & Sons Construction" sign you can spot in Manhunt 2 hints that he may have opened the company after escaping Carcer City.
Cash remains rather emotionless and completely fearless throughout most of the storyline. However, he does display some sympathy for his kidnapped family members during one scene, and is furious when he sees them killed.
Cash is an extraordinarily dangerous individual, capable of inflicting fatal injuries using the most simple objects, such as the Plastic Bag.

== Trivia ==
* Rockstar named James Earl Cash after the real life criminal, James Earl Ray, who was known for assassinating Martin Luther King Jr.
* Some footstep noises Cash makes are taken from Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
* Cash appears to be very strong, as Cash is able to pick up the body of a dead hunter and will just use his right arm to carry it and can walk without any struggle, but he can't run if he's carrying a body.
** This statement is also evidenced during the scene View of Innocence, where Cash can carry a television without any struggle before breaking it violently.
** Cash can also run with a Chainsaw by just holding it with his right hand, as seen during the scene Deliverance, while hiding away from the Cerberus.
* He also shares his first two names with a former American president, Jimmy Carter.
* Cash action figures can be found in Zero's RC Shop in San Fierro in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
* In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, at the police station in both Las Venturas and San Fierro, there are wanted posters for Cash (With a Beta image) and a few Hoods gang members.
* Cash will become bloody if he is hit with any type of weapon.
* The Beta Cash looks like the pre-release screenshots of Max Payne in Max Payne 3.
* Oddly enough, Cash didn't remove the earpiece that Starkweather told him to put on after his betrayal in Kill The Rabbit. This is most likely a development oversight.
* Cash's appearance was likely based off of Mickey Knox from the movie Natural Born Killers during the prison break scene. Mickey Knox was in fact based off of a real serial killer named Charles Starkweather (whose name is similar to the main antagonist of Manhunt, Lionel Starkweather).
* According to dialogue spoken by members of the Wardogs Cash may be a former special forces soldier as the Wardogs discuss rumors that he is a "Sneaky Pete" which is military jargon for a Navy SEAL, an Army Ranger or a Green Beret.
* Cash kills a total of 464 people throughout the events of Manhunt.
