Description
James Blood cuts a striking figure with his tall stature and short brown hair, clad in a sharp red blazer over a dress shirt and tie, paired with white trousers and polished black shoes. A seasoned Detective Inspector in the Capital Police Department’s Special Service of Crime (SSC) division, he brings eight years of relentless dedication to high-profile investigations, fueled by an unyielding quest for truth and justice. Known for flouting protocols, he employs rogue tactics like GPS tracker bullets and high-stakes car chases, often wielding environmental objects as improvised weapons during combat.
Initially consumed by pursuing Grimm—a mentally unstable serial killer and arch-nemesis presumed dead—his focus shifts upon uncovering a conspiracy involving experimental masks developed by LIVE Corporation. These devices grant superhuman abilities at a fatal cost: rapid aging and eventual death. His path converges with Sarah Sinclair, an assistant attorney probing the murder of her mentor, Monica Campbell, forging an alliance to dismantle LIVE’s operations.
His mission intertwines with Tina Herst, a young girl sustained by a mask after prenatal exposure to energy from a lab accident that killed her mother. Protecting Tina from LIVE’s lead researcher, Geffrey Connor—who seeks her mask to perfect the lethal technology—James is exposed to the same energy, forcing him to rely on a mask himself. This irrevocably binds their fates.
Evolving from a solitary, rule-bending detective to a protective guardian, he grapples with the moral and physical toll of mask dependency. Key alliances include a tenuous partnership with Harry Creighton, a former SSC detective coerced into serving LIVE, and clashes with Connor, whose obsession with the masks stems from a desperate bid to save his brother, Fred Faraday.
