Personal History
Background
Having been born on a transit shuttle between Leeds and New London, James originated from a moderate-low income family upbringing. His father, Alexander Arland, was known to be a Captain in the Royal Marines with a heavily censored service record who vanished without a trace during a combat deployment in 809 A.S. Well-read and erudite. Worked as private security for quite a few years before enrolling at the Armed Forces Military Academy situated at Cambridge, graduating from several advanced infantry and officer courses with excellent marks before deciding to specialize as a combat pilot in 818 A.S.
Military Career
James was promoted to Lieutenant after a short period of time spent as an Ensign upon the construction of King's Cross station in 819 A.S, having displayed appropriate composition and competence while flying security for the Bowex vessels, engaging Mollys in combat.
Was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and later Commander the same year, due to continuing displays of competence, valor and appropriate mindset in combat.
Transferred to Sabre Wing at the behest of Austin Goodman, and completed several reconnaissance, search-and-rescue, as well as harassment and strike operations (being captured once by Nancy Sweetwater, freed by Janessa Carlton) behind Gaul lines until the the Sabre Schism in December 819 A.S.
Psychological Profile
James is a highly calm and composed man, and fiercely loyal to those who fight alongside him in the war against Gallia. While compassionate in most situations, he is also an experienced hand at deadpan sarcasm, and has repeatedly demonstrated a surprisingly large capacity for violence, as might fit a career soldier.
In essence, he is primarily driven by a twofold desire to be good at his job, and protecting Bretonia from foreign invasion, while ensuring the well-being of his closest colleagues.
Became briefly romantically involved with Janessa Carlton after her rescuing him from captivity at Planet Nevers.
