==Biography==
===Early childhood===
James was born to Bert Hsieh and Wendy Lee in the of on December 19, 2538. During his civilian life, he grew up with his two brothers, Henry and Jack, in their home town. The three brothers were orphaned when the attacked Miridem and killed their parents in the year 2544. They were rescued in time by the Platinum Team, which escorted them to the nearest transport, successfully keeping the three children from enemy fire. The inspired the three brothers to become SPARTANs themselves in order to protect other civilians from the Covenant.
===SPARTAN-III training===
Jim and his brothers were subsequently conscripted as part of the and were trained by , , and and on . Along with Seung-ah-G218 and April-G182, all three brothers were assigned to Team Dao, which would be led by Henry. Two weeks after the , Team Dao was told that April suffered complications from the enhancements and could therefore no longer join them as a fellow Spartan.
===Battle of Paradiso===
The Human-Covenant War left many civilians homeless. Paradiso was one of the newly-discovered habitable planets suitable for refugees. In the year 2556, Jim-G067, along with Henry-G066 and Jack-G068, was sent to the planet with a set of refugees to ensure their safety from potential insurrectionist or Covenant attacks. They arrived on November 20, where they met up with Dom-094, who was already on Paradiso to watch over the first set of refugees.
Just three days after the SPARTAN-IIIs' arrival, a small fleet of Covenant Loyalists led by attacked the colony. The combination of the SPARTANs and a greater number of UNSC Army and Marine ground forces annihilated the Covenant ground forces. However, the brutes were able to successfully raid a camp that was not well-guarded, kidnapping Yoon Hyeon-ki, his surviving men, and the civilians at the camp. The battle in space was also in the UNSC's favor, thanks to the UNSC's greater number of vessels compared to that of the Covenant, forcing the latter's remaining ship, a single , to retreat. The crew aboard the UNSC Frigg was able to track down the Covenant ship and its destination – a world controlled by a relatively small number of Covenant loyalist remnants. Alexey Surkov ordered the Frigg and the majority of the Paradiso fleet to pursue in order to finish off the loyalist remnants and rescue the missing humans.
===Battle of Beimeni===
Upon arriving at the planet the Covenant escaped to, Surkov's fleet faced another battlecruiser, with the escaping battlecruiser nowhere to be found. Shortly after the UNSC's arrival, the missing battlecruiser emerged from the planet's atmosphere, indicating that it had likely deployed its prisoners at the planet's surface. Surkov ordered the SPARTANs and a division of infantry to search for and rescue the captured humans.
The Frigg's AI, Nótt, located the of the captured Marines, and the UNSC ground forces subsequently rushed to the location, which was a Forerunner tower. With the Spartans, led by Dom-094, spearheading the operation, the UNSC forces made their way to the prisoners, killing any enemy that stood in their way. Just before the SPARTANs could reach the prisoners, they arrived at the tower's control room, where Tisamenus, the leading the Covenant forces, waited for them. The chieftain mocked the Spartans by telling them he had already killed one of their kind, even pointing to her armor he had on display in the room. Dom-094, immediately recognizing the armor belonging to Annie-003, nonchalantly ordered Henry-G066 and Jim-G067 to unload weapons on Tisamenus. Dom-094 and the two other male SPARTANs, equipped with weapons, obliterated the chieftain long before he could reach them with his . Among the chieftain's charred remains, Jim-G067 recovered his weapon, a . With their biggest threat eliminated, the Spartans proceeded to free the prisoners. Just before leaving the control room, Dom-094 activated the of Annie-003's armor, demolishing pursuing Covenant forces and honoring his deceased former leader.
The UNSC forces escorted the civilians to the nearest extraction, with Jim-G067 in front plowing through brutes and with his new weapon. Once all UNSC forces evacuated the planet, Surkov ordered the orbital bombardment of the Covenant bases on the surface.

Jim-G067 is very energetic and well-humored, frequently teasing and pulling minor pranks on his peers, somewhat alleviating the stress induced by the bleakness of war.

Jim is also a very skilled fighter pilot and is notorious for improvising unconventional strategies mid-battle with varied success. Due to the volatility of Jim's attempts to execute said tactics, his teammates often have to watch his back whenever he goes on these endeavors so that he does not get himself killed. The considered making Jim a due to his overall capabilities, his aforementioned volatility was decided to be too much a liability for high-risk missions.
