James

James is one of the scientists living in the Boulder Dome in 2253.

Background
James a programmer and currently hates how many holodisks are being offered up to Zax as a sacrifice. He is an egotistical liar and feels that he is second to no one. He's wealthy, privellaged and has a very expensive pearl-handled revolver in his room.

James is used to being waited on.

Despite having a fancy gun, he doesn't like to use it. He's afraid of ghouls, especially if they're inside the compound. He is also very willing to bend the knee to authority, something that Goddard likes and takes advantages of but not always as James can sometimes twist words to get what he wants from it.

He doesn't like to travel alone, even in the Dome. He's quite jealous of Xian for being able to and discovering things that he wouldn't normally be able to come across. He considers her bellow him and is enraged by her audacity.

He, along with his colleagues are afflicted with Limit 115 while exploring one of the Dome's labs.

He is the classic example of an only child, even those who originally liked him, like Xian have grown tired of him. She is more concerned now about his influence over Donald. She doesn't have any appreciation for James but she is worried that he might end up doing something stupid, one of these days. Even something like putting himself in a Sleeper Sphere, when sitting in them.

Agnes is one of the few who is aware of his posession of a gun and worries about his subserviant nature towards Goddard and what he might be willing to do to please him or get ahead of him. She also concerns herself with his influence over Donald.

His influence over Goddard means that he is able to get outsiders removed from the Dome, if they hassle him in any way.
