James Hargrave (Tales of the Wastes)

James Hargave is one of the founding members of The Kingsnakes in 2290.

Background
Growing up was lonely for him in Rivet City, being one of three children. His quarters were cramped, he only had one friend, C.J. Young, who eventually became the love of his life. However, James has always struggled to show his affections, due to suffering a lifetime of abuse from his alcoholic mother, Tammy Hargrave. She believes that his father is dead and blames James for his demise.

2279
James found himself looking up to Butch Deloria, seeing him as a sort of 'big brother' figure. He found himself eager to join his gang, which lead to them founding The Kingsnakes. The Kingsnakes have since been a driving force for security in the Wasteland, mostly off of the back of James' innovation. Butch has always took credit for his ideas, something that he hasn't ever liked but figured that this might prove useful, later on.

James eventually got more than a little frustrated, after Stig was given a 20% cut of profits for simply showing up one day. He demanded 50% of the profits or he would take over. Butch bargained his way down to 25% and James was somewhat satisfied.

He has secretly been keeping gear and valuable items to himself on the slide, knowing fully well that Butch doesn't check these things.

2290
In 2290, James went out on a mission and was ambushed by the Blood Valkyries. His Tunnel Snakes were imprisoned but he was personally brought to Sophia, their leader. The Kingsnakes know nothing else about his condition, other than him being alive. A ransom has seemingly been set but neither Stig nor Butch have done a thing to try and get him back. Many speculate that they don't want him back.
