James was born in the golden era of ancient Athens sometime between 600-300 BCE as Attis. He had a pretty typical life for a male citizen, but was disinterested in anything other than music. Pursuing a career in music was considered beneath a citizen, and so spent his early adulthood as a rather unhappy hoplite. He was offered a way out- To leave his family and military life behind to play music forever.

The vampire that embraced him was an Epicurean, now know as the Toreador clan, who fell in love with his blonde hair, singing voice, and lyre playing. In the current day, he is the glam rocker Apollo (he loves the sun a little too much for a vampire) , known especially for the energy of his live events.

He navigates the world with the help of his thralls as he is completely out of touch with any tech not directly related to music. He has a hypnotic charm that covers for the fact that he is a huge dumb ass. He has a wealth of knowledge and skill in music, and uses his abilities to influence others as a bard would, but don't expect him to perform anything beyond simple arithmetic, because he is a dumb blond all the way through.

It is believed that his ability to survive 2000+ years is due in part to his stupidity preventing him from ever thinking too deeply about all of the tragedy in his long life or experiencing an existential crises.
