James Black
Themis, Hecate or Melinoe

History
Born in 1993, he grew up in the streets of Copenhagen. Not literally of course, since he lived with his father. His father was a judge, and always taught his son that it was important to respect the law.

When he was 6 he started fencing, and a couple of years later, when he was 8, he started training Ninjitsu. He liked martial arts and fencing, since it gave him a feeling of control. A feeling he didn’t get anywhere else. At school he was in the middle of his class, always struggling not to go to the bottom of the class, and at home his father had very high expectations to him.

As he grew older, he started to find school easier and could focus more on his martial arts. At 13 years of age, as he was sitting at the dining table with his father, he suddenly stood up and made James go with him outside. He ordered James to get into the car, with only few protests.

He went to the airport and bought a ticket for James. He had explained on the way there why he was doing this. He had explained who his mother was, why he was sending him to NYC, and all of those things.

As he arrived at camp, by a taxi, he was shown his cabin and met his counselor. The two immediately hit off and was always seen together, even though the counselor was 3 years older than James. After a couple years the counselor was supposed to go on a quest with James’ girlfriend, at the time, and a person from the Thanatos’ Cabin.

However the counselor fell sick and James had to go in his stead. The quest went bad. To put it mildly. James’ girlfriend died on the quest, killed by a hellhound. He killed the hellhound and every other monster on the quest, since the son of Thanatos’ had shadow travelled back the body, and died from the exhaustion. When he returned he was hailed a hero for finishing the quest in his comrades’ honor, but he could not stop thinking of the two every day as he walked around camp. Every single thing about camp reminded him of his girlfriend’s disfigured corpse. The hellhound had started eating it before he killed it.

In the end, he decided to return to Denmark to go to Gymnasium (the Danish equivalent of High School).

Three years later, and a lot of dead monsters, he returned to camp.

Personality:
He is quite sad, and tries not to emotionally attach himself to people, but always end up doing it anyway. Also, ever since his girlfriend from camp he hasn’t had a single successful (doesn’t split on bad terms) relationship. He can be quite evil and sadistic at times, but also quite nice and charming at others. As his father taught him, he trusts the law a lot, and believes it to be the only 100% true thing in the world. It is the pillar he uses as support to keep himself from breaking completely.

Weapons:
A pocket knife that turns into a scythe.
