Lieutenant James Lambert is a distinguished officer of the Liberty Navy's Primary Fleet, perhaps best known for rescuing the girl Pita from the Liberty Rogues.
Personal History
Background
Born on Planet Curacao to Richard Lambert, a Bounty Hunter, and Christina Wallace, an Orbital Spa employee. Parents never married. Mother died in recorded transshipment accident at Freeport 4 in Magellan during 798 AS. Subsequently, Lambert was taken by his father to Sheffield Station in Manchester, where he lived with his father for two years and began training as a Bounty Hunter in 800 AS, at the age of 12. Became a full member of the Bounty Hunters Guild three years later, at age 15.
Spent six years as a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild, working primarily in Bretonia, the Tau systems, and parts of Kusari. Records obtained from the BHG indicate initial promise but sub-par performance throughout career. This was followed by several years as a small time independant freelancer, where transit records indicate he primarily traded legitimate goods between the houses.
At the Academy
Applied for the accelerated OCS program at West Point Military Academy in 817 AS. He demonstrated exceptional ability in strategic planning, extravehicular operations, and capital ship tactics. However, Lambert was hampered by consistently low scores in small craft operations, and also racked up a large number of demerits in his early months for failure to adhere to Naval procedure.
- Admiral Matthew Evans
Commandant, West Point Military Academy
Lambert graduated from the Academy as part of the class of 819 AS. He graduated 23rd of 61 in the class.
Beginning a Career
After graduation, Lambert was assigned to the Navy's Primary Fleet, where he took an initial tour of duty as a passed midshipman. Despite very nearly setting a record for the number of fighter craft he lost during that first tour, he was promoted to Ensign and began to fly a Guardian Very Heavy Fighter.
As an Ensign, Lambert was taken under the tutelage of then-Lieutenant Commander Alan Polstari. The two worked closely together on a multitude of occasions to combat the rampant piracy and smuggling within Liberty core space. Lambert also purchased an Upholder Bomber from the secondhand market and utilized it on several raids into Rheinland space.
Rogue Captivity
In August of 819 AS, Lambert was promoted to Lieutenant (Junior-Grade). Merely a week after receiving the promotion, he went out on a routine patrol where he encountered a smuggler near West Point. He pursued the smuggler into the Badlands, where he was ambushed by several ships of the Liberty Rogues. After a short fight, Lambert lost yet another ship and was taken into captivity by the Rogues. He was reported MIA several hours later, and a team of Marines was dispatched to find him.
For reasons that remain unknown, he was placed in the custody of the girl Pita on Buffalo Base, where he was subjected to physical and psychological torture. According to his account, he was also taken on one occasion to meet with a female cyborg named Banshee (Character), who subjected him to what is commonly known as "Cardamine torture". Lambert was exposed to a large amount of the drug in pure gas form, and was repeatedly forced to suffer the withdrawal effects to the point of near-death. Banshee apparently did this as revenge for an encounter between the two of them years before.
Lambert, however, managed to escape Rogue custody, but was unable to escape the base before both Banshee and Pita caught up to him. He shot Banshee, but Pita recaptured him and took him off the base herself for unknown reasons. Fortunately a SAR team lead by Commander Jorzza Clark managed to track Pita's ship to the Texas system. There, the Navy forces present were able to recover Lambert, but Pita escaped with some other Rogues.
Post-Captivity
Lambert was returned to the Navy after enduring nearly a month as a prisoner of war. He was placed on a temporary prohibitory status while the Navy debriefed him and investigated the events of his captivity. Lambert's debriefing was headed by Captain Alan Polstari.
At some point during this time, Lambert reportedly encountered a pair of Nomad vessels. Apparently, this was a peaceful but lengthy encounter, but any details remain highly classified.
Lambert and Pita
Lambert encountered Pita several more times after returning to active duty. Slowly, he began to realize that the girl was a victim of a bad situation and he began actively working to try and convince her to leave the Rogues and start a new life. She resisted until she encountered a Nomad-infested Deep Space Engineering employee who she was forced to kill in self-defense. Traumatized from the experience, Lambert took her away from the Rogues and earned her trust.
However, the next day, a group of Rogues led by Buster Commodore apprehended Pita and took her back to the Rogue Ruby against her will. Lambert was devastated by the loss of the girl, and assembled a group of friends to get Pita back. They finally found her, with the help of DSE employee Catelyn Smith, and conducted an operation to get the girl back from Ruby. Lambert recovered Pita and killed Ruby himself, and they returned to Liberty space so the girl could start a new life.
Lambert is now Pita's legal guardian, and they live on Planet Denver in a house he purchased.
He was promoted to the rank of full Lieutenant in November 819 AS.
Psychological Profile
Initial Diagnosis
Initially, Mr. Lambert had a very difficult time adjusting to life at the Academy and military structure in general. His background as a Bounty Hunter and independent had instilled in him a very casual attitude towards duty and responsibility. He was frequently given demerits in his first form for various small infractions against Navy procedure. He soon began to change his attitude, however, and by the end of his tenure the demerits had become limited to merely an occasional occurrence. He still seems to possess his casual, laid-back nature, but it is now stiffened by adherence to formal military conventions.
Mr. Lambert is a somewhat difficult man to understand. He clearly possesses leadership qualities and the attention to detail of a skilled administrator, but seems uncomfortable around superior officers. Perhaps this indicates some level of general distrust in the command structure. However, when alone or in an environment within which he feels comfortable, his natural leadership ability tends to come to the surface. Otherwise, seems to have a steady and reliable persona. No signs of any psychological disorders were detected.
Post-Captivity
Mr. Lambert suffered a very traumatic experience in his captivity with the Rogues, and his follow-up examination indicated some very early and relatively minor signs of some psychiatric disorders. He reported difficulty sleeping and some instances of nightmares, generally related to his captivity. We attribute this to a developing minor case of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which, while minor, should be carefully watched. In addition, Mr. Lambert exhibits some characteristics of schizophrenia and sociopathic tendencies, but neither of these tested conclusively, and no treatment has been prescribed at this time.
