James Harris

Grandson of Leo Harris, the CEO of Vizier Aura Corporation. James Harris is currently Vizier Aura's Chief Operating Officer (COO).

### Childhood

James was born and raised in Albany, New York. He went to middle and high school at a private boarding school in Poughkeepsie, New York. When he was in seventh grade he and his best friend were hanging out in the forest in their backyards. When his best friend, Leander, got angry (they were having a fight over their game of cards), Leander set the cards on fire--presumably using magic on accident. The fire quickly spread, and soon many of the trees were on fire. Leander and James barely escaped. Leander tried to explain himself, telling James about a Wizarding school he had attended while James was at boarding school, and saying he was still learning to control himself. While James saw the truth, he realized the stories his grandfather had told him about wizards were right: they were a threat, uncontrollable, and worst of all, dishonest and disloyal.

After completing his schooling in Poughkeepsie, James went to a private Mundane university in New York City where he studied business with an emphasis in marketing, as well as philosophy. After graduating James began to officially work for his grandfather at the Vizier Aura company, where he quickly moved up the ranks due to his ability to manipulate people and utilize resources.

### In Relation to Trefoil Academy: Egypt

Vizier Aura Organization was contacted by the Westgaards. They were a group of mages who wanted a mundane to break and enter into a pyramid in Egypt and retrieve something for them. James’ grandfather, Leo, voluntold James that he would be the one to go to Egypt. James had been wanting a higher position with more power, and this would be an opportunity for him to prove himself.

Lord Westgaard told James the sphinx needed to be killed in order to retrieve the jar, and seeing as the sphinx was still alive, he was pretty sure the jar was still there. James asked for permission to take other objects, in order to prove magic’s existence, and Lord Westgaard complied.

James traveled to the pyramid at (coordinates). He successfully entered, but then was unable to escape. He was trapped in the pyramid. Both fortunately and unfortunately, James was found by Trefoil students. He didn’t want to reveal himself as a Witch Hunter, so he offered them a mask or a mirror he had recovered in exchange for rescue. They chose to take the mask.

Meanwhile, James Harris escaped with the Mirror of Truth, a book called Whispers of the Void, Pandora’s Box, and the Rhowsen Canopic Jar with him. Lord Westgaard had not known the Whispers of the Void had also been in the pyramid until years later.

### Post Egypt

On the way back from the pyramid, James was robbed by highwaymen. He escaped with only the Mirror of Truth. Lord Westgaard recognized that he stood still to gain long term wise from the witch hunters having proof that magic existed, so he played up his anger and disappointment in order to extract an open-ended favor from James Harris because of Harris’ failure.

James, Leo, and the rest of the Witch Hunters have been using the Mirror of Truth to justify the need to go to war. Their numbers are growing, and they have ranks across America, Europe, and Asia. There is rumored to be a new development in Australia. James is currently helping to oversee the newly announced location in England.
