James Vega

James Vega, also known as Arms Master, is a character from the Mass Effect series.
== Charactah Account ==
Early in his career, James was stationed on a colony in a remote star system with a team of elite Special Forces soldiers. When the Collectors attack, determined to capture the population, James and his soldiers were tasked with protecting the civilians.
Although he's a seasoned soldier, James doesn't know much about galactic politics, Shepard's circle of friends, or the events of the previous games, allowing the other characters to explain bits of backstory to new players.
Though James is perhaps a somewhat milder example a boisterous bruiser. His first major conversation with Shepard on the Normandy is during an impromptu bare-knuckles boxing match, apparently to size up his new commander and because he thinks it would be fun.

* According to BioWare, James Vega is intended to reflect the perspective of a new player coming to the franchise.
* James Vega was originally known as James Sanders, however the name was changed some time after several gaming press outlets visited BioWare and revealed his original name. Vega himself references this after saving Kahlee Sanders from the attack on Grissom Academy, saying his father's last name was Sanders, but has no relation to Kahlee. 
* Like Garrus Vakarian, James also shares the relationship of mentor and protege to a certain extent, following Shepard's advice regarding his military career decisions.
* James' voice actor Freddie Prinze, Jr. also voiced Iron Bull in BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition.
