James Korby

James Nathaniel Korby was a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps, the husband of Sara Korby and stepfather of Rachael Sparks.
==Biography==
===Pre-Series===
Prior to his debut, Korby became the third husband to Sara and new step-father to Rachael. 
===NCIS Season 7===
Korby is found by teenagers on mischief night dead in his car. While it appeared to be suicide due to carbon monoxide, Ducky and Palmer discover that Korby had unintentionally ingested liquid nitrogen, the gas in his lungs suffocating him and his body freezing.
As the team looked over his military timeline, they learn that Korby was a prankster who constantly pranked those around him regardless of the situation or time; even joking around during hostile moments in combat. His pranking reportedly became too much for his brothers-in-arms who eventually decided to beat him to get him to stop but this did nothing.
It was eventually revealed that even Korby's commanding officer tried to poison him with a drop of paint thinner to get him sent home on medical leave to get the unit back under control, not risk any promotions, and in hopes to get him to ease up on the pranks. 
By the end of the episode, it is revealed that Korby was killed by Rachael with part of the reason being that she could no longer put up with his pranks.
==Personality==
Korby is described to be somewhat obsessed when it came to thinking of and pulling off practical jokes on family, friends, neighbors, and his fellow enlisted servicemen. Nearly every report on him in his military file describes him as potentially not knowing when to quit pranking as he was reported to pull pranks at inappropriate times during combat that majority of his unit did not put up with it to the point of punishing him themselves and his commanding officer poisoned him in an attempt to teach him a lesson and get him sent home on medical leave.
