James is highly duplicitous and Machiavellian, his mind has been corrupted by his trust in his demonic companion Betora and he leads a life of dishonesty. James, though holding hatred towards none, constantly vies for power and advantages to have, outwardly James appears to be any normal man, gregarious and kindly, however on the inside he seeks to assert himself as a powerful man, having little physical power himself he resorts to insidious tactics, use of Fel magics and politics.

History

James was born as an accident of a First War panic driven wave of lust between a stone mason and a sorceress. Eventually the Orcs came and the new couple had to flee northward to Southshore, somewhere along the way infant James was born. In his early years supplies were scant and the infant did not receive his full nourishment, thus early on James Ros was doomed to a life of weakness. Good news came one fine morning when word of Stormwind's reclamation and the end of the Second War came, thus the family moved back to their home.

Life went well in the newly claimed Stormwind, work for a sorceress and stonemason was everywhere and the family found a new affluence from the mother and there were promises of wealth from the stone mason father, who was of course part of the Stonemason's Guild. During this time James also started his training as a mage, which was never quite grasped by him. He was in the lowest tier in his class and no matter how hard his mother tried he could not make any progress with his magecraft.

By the time James was in his teens the Stonemasons were demanding their proper compensation, which was denied to them. James' father, outraged and donning a red mask, attempted to assassinate a Stormwind noble. He failed miserably and was hung as a traitor and example to any other Stonemasons, now Defias who would try anything so brash. James fell into a new state of despair, not only was he a weakling but now he had no father. One day in class James' classmates, upper class magi kids from wealthy families, were mocking the Stonemason guild, James was enraged but he knew he could do nothing. That night he went into the Slaughtered Lamb where he met a pale, colubrine man, who in exchange for some coin, gave James a book on demonology. James spent many restless days meticulously drawing a summoning circle and studying the book until at last he summoned a succubus in the basement of an abandoned house, though he was hardly able to stand James managed to broker a contract from the succubus, who presented herself as being named Betora. James felt the succubus was just acting in her textbook way of being infatuated with the summoner when she was so easy to coerce into servitude, but Betora is an agent of the Legion, just as all demons are, and only agreed to allegiance with James so that she could corrupt James and try to destroy Stormwind from the inside.

After regaining his strength James challenged one of the snob classmates to a duel, which James won, with help from an invisible Betora. James promptly quit his arcane training after that, feeling a new found urgency to be a politician. James moved to Duskwood to gain his political footing as a civil servant, gradually moving up to councilman and then mayor. All three of which have found no fruition, however James remains in his Duskwood cottage with Betora, constantly scheming.
