Personal Details
"Let’s just say, your breasts aren't as big as I had been led to believe."
By the time he was eighteen, the little brother of Luna Riel was equally known for his computer genius as well as his black sheep tendencies. James's parents doted on his big sister, leaving him to his own devices. Surprisingly enough, he flourished.
Despite the parental favoritism focused on Luna, both Luna and James were extremely close; Luna clearly adored her little brother, and they've helped each other out many times over the years. Arguments between the two for years used to boil down to Luna mentioning the one time she bailed him out of jail, followed immediately by a retort involving Luna's first boyfriend.
Both Luna and James, nevertheless, received excellent educations, and they both naturally excelled. Whilst they both earned doctorates, however, James decided that the life of academic was too boring for him. Where Luna became wildly famous and lauded, James faded into murkier territory.
After Impact, James spent much of his time helping to reestablish the internet, which had collapsed in many places following the cataclysm. It was during this time that he also became an information broker; indeed, during his work he established many contacts which helped feed him with excellent information.
Despite their separate paths, James was nevertheless dragged into the drama involving his sister, when he was abducted, tortured and mutilated by those wishing to force Luna to continue with the gestalt tests in Eden Base. As a result he is missing several fingers from both hands.
Following the reestablishment of a reliable internet, James promptly became an internet hacker, an infamous one at that. Operating under three different handles (3Beard, EntacleHentai and MaiEntWaifu), he became both vigilante and villain on the internet, organizing attacks on groups he deemed to be committing wrongs; he exposed classified CIA documents regarding the torture of enemies of the state in 2009, and in 2010 he leaked a UN document detailing 'exhaustively considered plans regarding how to justify deliberate lack of supply in order to systematically pacify dissenting regions', which caused a furor throughout the internet and saw several careers utterly ruined. Either directly or indirectly, his actions were part of the inspiration for the formation of hacktivist group Unseen in 2011.
In 2014 however he was recruited as a clandestine spy for Mary Caine, working with Ryoji Kaji and Kaworu Nagisa; during this he adopted many personae, but his favourite was that of 'Skeevy Vorr', a one-armed shabby Englishman in a bowler hat who peddled pornographic Japanese comics.
He was recruited by NERV in 2016.
In 2017, he was gravely injured following the Battle of the Angelspawn in Paris, losing a lung and his entire left arm.
