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.Calling the Young Man Out: James is usually a fairly easy-going parent, but he won't hesitate to deliver a What the Hell, Hero? if the player character commits bad-karma actions over the course of the game - most prominently nuking Megaton.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 in Distress: Effectively imprisoned by Stanislaus Braun during his expedition to Vault 112, and it's up to the Lone Wanderer to rescue him.Badass Bookworm: Not only is James a talented doctor, but he's certainly no slouch in the combat department, either.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.
