JAMES BOURNE
James Bourne used to be a hotshot secret
agent, one of a distinguished line of operatives chosen to continue the legacy
of Napoleon Drake, codename Double X, a cover identity established by the
British government to trick the enemy into thinking there was an immortal, unstoppable
agent in the field. However, James was quickly dismissed after the conclusion
of his first mission on charges of sexual harassment as well as for his
rampant alcoholism and blatant disregard for the safety of civilians. And so,
gone were the fast cars, clever gadgets and buxom women, leaving James in the
position of having to start over from scratch. Nowadays, he can be found rain
or shine at Murphy's, a dive bar in the Trenches, where he spends his days
unsuccessfully chatting up women, drinking watered-down cocktails and trying
desperately to recapture some small sliver of his former glory.
