![]() Nice Guy: Even Colin Moriarty doesn't have a single bad thing to say about him, in a terminal filled with various bits of dirt and blackmail material he has on people.Best shown at the beginning when his disappearance from the vault causes anarchy to break out and forces his child to flee for his/her life, the irony being that James left you behind in the first place because he thought you would be safe there. He means well, but he often miscalculates how much trouble his actions stir up. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: Another trait of his.Considering that Harold, the Brotherhood, the Enclave, and Conrad Kellogg all did as well, it's not impossible James did too. A (possibly non-canonical) photograph showing a young version of him and Catherine found in Vault 21 in New Vegas suggests he somehow migrated from the Mojave Wasteland to the Capital Wasteland. Mysterious Past: His past prior to starting Project Purity is deliberately vague, but other characters suggest that he wasn't even from Rivet City.Magnetic Hero/The Social Expert: Not only did he convince the Overseer to let him into Vault 101, xenophobia be damned (although the need for a doctor did greatly grease the skids of the decision), he actually managed to get Moriarty to put his jerkass ways on park around him.Unfortunately, he was wrong and without James around to provide his service as their Doctor, the Overseer had no reason to keep you around either. Horrible Judge of Character: It's implied that while the Overseer made no secret of his hatred for James and his child, James believed that he simply wasn't twisted enough to let it get the better of him.Heroic Sacrifice: He floods the Project Purity chamber with radiation, killing himself and a couple of Enclave soldiers, to keep them from taking Project Purity and allow his child to escape.He's quite similar to a Speech-based player-character. Li, reveals that James is extremely charismatic and has a way with words he was able to convince Moriarty to help him despite the bar owner's normally selfish nature, was able to talk his way into Vault 101 despite the Overseer's extreme isolationism and xenophobia, and was able to convince the Brotherhood to help defend Project Purity despite their doubts over its success or utility. Guile Hero: Speaking with people who've dealt with him in the past, such as Moriarty and Dr.Good Parents: Although not without his flaws.Give Him a Normal Life: He headed off to Vault 101 and abandoned Project Purity so his son/daughter could have the best life he could provide with the Vault's resources.Determined Expression: According to Three Dog, he has the exact same 'I can get shit done' look in his eye as his son/daughter.Determinator: When it comes to making Project Purity a reality.Disappointed in You: His reaction towards the Lone Wanderer if s/he nukes Megaton, as it goes against everything he taught his child.Disappeared Dad: His sudden disappearance from Vault 101 is what kickstarts the plot.Deadly Doctor: He's actually pretty proficient in combat, even if he wasn't invincible due to him being marked as 'essential'.Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: He really, really does.The Charmer: Various characters mention he's got quite the silver-tongue.Dialog options after his rescue from Vault 112 show he still misses her almost twenty years later. Beard of Sorrow: He is clean-shaved at the very start of the game (when Catherine dies in childbirth) and during the scene where the Lone Wanderer is a toddler, then has a short beard during the next sequence (set when the Lone Wanderer is 10) that he keeps for the rest of the game.Badass Bookworm: Not only is James a talented doctor, but he's certainly no slouch in the combat department, either.He definitely proves the 'Badass' part during the game. Badass Beard: Through all the ages, Dad's got a short beard on him.Badass Baritone: Courtesy of Liam Neeson.His intention for Project Purity was not to gain power or influence, but simply to bring clean water to the Capital Wasteland, make the world a better place and fulfill his late wife's dream. Anti-Hero: He's one of the most noble characters in the DC Wasteland, but he's not without his flaws.The player searching for him and uncovering why James left is what drives the first part of the plot. He was a good father for most of his life, but when his child turned 19, he left the vault, throwing the residence into chaos.
