    Biography

    James was an orphan, who was kidnapped by a group of cultists, in order for them to perfom some kind of satanic ritual in order to revive a demon. In the end, the ritual didn't bear any fruit and the cultists tossed James out. James however was left traumatized by the experience, now being schizophrenic believing he is possessed by demons. James was eventually able to receive some form of counselling for his condition and eventually joined the army and then a separate mercenary group. However, it soon became apparent that his condition had not fully gone away. James, would at times, manifest different 'demonic' personalities, these being

    Raphael - The Red Demon - A demon that's filled with rage, that seeks only blood and destruction. Usually manifested when James is hurt.

    Gabriel - The Blue Demon - A demon that seeks only monetary wealth, that will avoid combat at all times. Usually manifests when James desires something.

    Azrael - The Black Demon - A demon that seeks death, will attempt suicidal actions, for the sake of killing. Usually manifests when James has the chance to kill someone.

    Michael - The White Demon - A demon that seeks respite, only wants to rest. Usually manifests when James is on his last legs.
