### Appearance

## Pre-Outbreak

Before the outbreak, James was a recon marine in the military. Once he realized that the military was assisting the Necrotic Corporation in starting the outbreak, he decided to leave the military. However they would not take this lightly as they would try to hunt him down because they do not want any witnesses alive.

## Post-Outbreak

### Season 1

#### Episode 5

James would make his first appearance at the end of Episode 5, as he assassinates a marine with his sniper rifle, which would take Joseph and Carl by surprise.

#### Episode 6

At the beginning of Episode 6, James is continuing his killing spree by assassinating a couple more marines. Carl and Joseph are hiding from him behind a wall and cannot see who is shooting their marines from the distance. James then makes his escape and would accidentally get the main survivors (Edward, Devoweer and Koking) blamed for this as Carl and Joseph get back in the open and notice the survivors in the tower.

This would make the military attempt to hunt down the survivors. They make their way out of Bangclaw, and look for supplies in the next area. They find some, but don't notice that the military along with Carl are looking at them from a distance. James would notice this as he is hiding inside of a cargo container near the survivors and military.

#### Episode 7

James appears briefly in this episode, as he leaves the cargo container and gets out of the area. He is not seen again until Episode 8.

#### Episode 8

As the survivors get out of a portal that led them to Bangclaw, they would find out the area is completely flooded by water. They make their way to the top of a building, which is when James would suddenly fly over to them with a helicopter. He invites the survivors to get in and they fly out of Bangclaw. James flies the survivors over to the marauders base as he wants to assist in killing them. They get to a mountain area near the base, and James instructs the survivors to already head to the entrance of the base. James throws a smoke grenade, as the survivors start blasting through the area with guns. They would succeed in killing all the marauders in the area, including the Big Boss.

They leave the area and head over to a small city where the military are located in. The sergeant notices the helicopter and shoots it down with a rocket launcher. The helicopter crashes in a tunnel filled with water near the sewer system, and James gets injured. The rest of the survivors aren't as hurt, and they help James out of the helicopter. He sits by a wall and tells the survivors to head up and kill the marines. They succeed in doing this, but then the sergeant walks over to James with a revolver, ready to kill him. However the trio heads back just in time to fight the sergeant, and they end up killing him. They find a radio that the sergeant had with him, and head back to James.

#### Episode 9

The survivors head back over to James. As Koking pretends to be the sergeant with the radio, the lieutenant Joseph Donald Hartmann informs him that they're located near a bridge. The survivors use this information to take down the lieutenant. James along with the rest of the survivors head over to a car, and drive over to a cabin where they discover an abandoned yacht. They take this and head over to the bridge.

As James is still relatively injured, he stays in the yacht for sometime until he decides to go help the survivors as they fight the military. Once they make their way to the lieutenant who is now inside of a mech, they fight him and destroy the mech. James pulls out the now injured Joseph out of the mech, throws him to the ground and executes him with a sniper rifle. The survivors now head back to the yacht.

#### Episode 10

While inside the yacht, the survivors gather over to James as he explains to them that Carl made the drug which started the zombie outbreak. He also explains that the military was involved with the project, and that he used to be a recon marine, but left the military as he did not want to be involved with the individuals that started the outbreak.

Once he's explained everything, suddenly the TV inside the yacht gets hacked by Carl. He tells them to head over to the military base and settle everything peacefully. They head over there and fight through the zombies as it's infested by them outside, and they go inside. They look around for Carl but don't see him, as he suddenly sneaks from behind some remains of the base. He shoots James with a revolver which nearly kills him. Koking takes James back inside the yacht and patches him up while Edward and Devoweer fight the Necrotic Corporation's soldiers inside of the base.

James does not appear much in the episode after this outside of sometimes seen resting on a couch inside of the yacht, as well as in the ending he is seen standing with the rest of the survivors as they're back in a now populated Bangclaw.
