Personality
While he may seem shy and secluded on the outside, once you melt through his defenses James is actually quite talkative and not nearly as serious as he originally lets on. The seriousness, shyness and humor serve as an effective barrier against the shock of his life’s recent developments. If indeed he has any real adverse reaction to these events, he keeps it to himself. He is reluctant to discuss the disappearance of his family and his relation to Boreas.

History
Before coming to camp, James lived in the upper-peninsula of Michigan. James never discusses his family, so all that is known about them is that they died in a house fire. James never had a chance to find out what caused the fire. That same day, James encountered his first monster; It seems a laistrygonian giant strayed south of its home territory in search of a meal (this may explain the fire). It was during this accounted that James discovered his power, which he used to escape from the giant. After two days of being chased by the giant, he was found be a satyr and taken to Camp Half-Blood.

As soon as he had the opportunity, he claimed a medium length, celestial bronze sword as his own; he has always admired the daring appearance of the weapon.

Powers
Although he may have other powers he is only aware of one at this time. It should be noted, however, that he has always had a strong aversion to heat.
 * Cryokinesis: James can lower tempreture and freeze water and vapor at will. He is attempting to learn to craft icey items from water vapor. He is making slow but steady progress.
