“ | I'm a cop. My brother's a killer. One that my department has been chasing for years. And although he's a monster, he's the last family I have left, and I won't let him go to prison. I have him use his knowledge on serial killers to help us track down other criminals and in exchange I help get him victims. Don't worry, we don't kill innocent people. Only some of the monsters that we catch. My department often wonders why the criminals we chase down turn up dead. Only I know why | „ |
~ James' monologue |
“ | I can see more clearly than I ever have. Every day, it felt like I was barely alive, but not quite dead. That I was a walking husk of meat that could barely function. Constantly weighed down by the trauma of my past. But now, I feel more alive than ever. I feel so damn good. Better than I think I ever have been | „ |
~ James talking to his therapist |
Summary[]
James Fox is the brother of Ben Fox. After having an incredibly traumatic childhood due to both of his parents being abusive, James would end up having severe unresolved trauma from the experience. After the death of both of his parents, he would end up represing the memories and try to ignore the memories and deep rooted feelings he had from the experience. After going into college for Criminology and becoming a detective, he would use his highly intelligent mind, great abstract thinking and attention to detail to solve various difficult cases, even those that had gone cold.
After figuring out that his brother was a notorious serial killer, instead of turning him in, he decided to protect the last family that he had and even use his brothers knowledge as a killer and his uncanny intelligence to help him catch highly intelligent criminals, and in exchange he would channel his brothers murderous urges into killing some of the criminals that they find rather than innocent people.
After a long while of doing this, Ben would notice the effects the unresolved childhood trauma had on his brother, and decided to try and help him out by slowly getting James to help in the murders, slowly turning James into his own serial killer known as "The Bloody Pig."

Although not as intelligent as his brother, James has shown great intelligence feats that make him one of the smartest characters in the entire series. Due to his incredible detective abilities, eye for detail, and ability to perfectly create and replay events in his mind, he can perfectly reconstruct highly complicated murder & crime scenes with perfect accuracy, and tell details such as what weapon was even what type of shoe a killer was wearing. With this ability, he has been able to catch the most intelligent and careful killers on the planet that even the FBI & CIA are unable to find, such as the "Cloaked Creep" and "7 Taken Kids" cases, both which were crimes executed by highly intelligent and calculating men who made sure to not leave any specks of evidence against them. He was even able to use this to catch his own brother, who went uncaught for over a decade and was considered "a virtually impossible case all of the worlds minds combined couldn't figure out." After getting his brother to assist in finding criminals, he became known as the greatest detective & cop in the entire state, catching dozens of criminals that were considered impossible to catch for decades. He also solved several cases that went cold for dozens of years, though most of this was due to his brother. He could figure out that Daniel Gordan was onto him and came up with a plan to throw him off of his tail, as well as evade capture from his own police force for an extended period of time. After becoming his own serial killer, he went unnoticed for several weeks due to police believing that his killings weren't all from 1 person, with them only figuring it out after James started writing notes to them. Was able to figure out that there was a copycat of The Madison Headhunter simply by the way the persons neck was cut and the amount of ash in their mouth, something even his brother wasn't able to see until James pointed it out. He's also a highly skilled manipulator and is very good at stealth and stealing
- Has a bachlors in Criminology, giving him great knowledge in crime statistics, the psychology of killers, and how criminals opperate
- Has a high amount of knowledge on how blood splatter works, being able to tell the difference in blood splatter with different types of blades, requiring him to have some knowledge in forensics and even physics to understand how blood flow & the shape of the blade impacts how the blood splatters
- Was taught by his brother how to properly preform injections, human anatomy, and general medicine, getting him to the knowledge of a highly trained doctor in a short amount of time, which would require him to know a large amount of biology & chemistry
- Has a deep understanding of psychology, especially the psychology of serial killers and criminals, and uses his knowledge to frequently predict and outsmart them
- All of his kills are highly planned out and prepared, with James having every detail of the kill, from how the blood will spray to what part of the body will be stabbed, all planned long before even kidnapping the person
After figuring out that Daniel suspected him of being the Madison Headhunter, James was able to come up with a multi-layered plan to convince Daniel otherwise without killing him or framing someone else. He knew Daniel suspected him due to his own psychology matching the built profile for the Madison Headhunter and due to seeing James at a river a Madison Headhunters victim was found at later that day. Due to this, James made an alibi for being at the river, changing police reports and even editing video cameras and making fake text chats to make others believe that he was there to investigate an entirely different crime that happened at the river. He then slowly changed the behavioral analysis of the Madison Headhunter, convincing people that the previous analysis of the Madison Headhunter's psyche was false, and coming up with a new psychological analysis of the killer that still worked with how his killings were done, but were inacurate and made Daniel believe that James no longer fit the psychological profile of the killer. This, plus further manipulation of Daniel was able to get Daniel off of his tail and believe that he was wrong about James being a suspect. He did this all without Daniel ever realizing that James knew he was a suspect and without getting the attention of his brother.
- Was able to seduce a drug dealers wife into giving personal information about him all in a single conversation
- After his DNA was found at a crime scene, he was able to lie to the FBI agents that interviewed him about why he was there, claiming that it was due to him investigating a drug deal, and was able to get out with almost no suspicion on him
- Overtime managed to manipulate Daniel into believing that he wasn't a suspect for the Madison Headhunter
- Has manipulated others into thinking that The Bloody Pig killer wasn't at all tied to the Madison Headhunter, despite evidence of clear links
- Has been able to trick people with false deductions that make cracking the Madison Headhunter & The Bloody Pig cases harder with others still believing that these pourposfully false deductions were accurate
Standard Tactics: Typically, if he plans on killing someone for either his own kill ritual or his brother's kill ritual, he'll knock them out with Chloroform or paralyze them before bringing them back to the pre-planned kill area. But if he is unable to preform that, he is willing to kill/incap the person with his gun or with another one of his instruments such as his taser, pepper spray, tear gas, or if he's in a dire situation & doesn't have his gun, he'll use a morphine shot or lethal injection. If barehanded, he'll resort to his skill and pressure points to take someone down
- Kill Ritual: When given the chance, James will set up his kill ritual. In this ritual, his victim is paralyzed but kept consious as he guts them with a knife, removes their organs, and fills the cavity with pigs blood before stitching them back up and burying them in a random area. Although he enjoys the kill ritual, he will sometimes break it, experimenting with different ways to kill
Weaknesses: Reminding him of his father or mother can cause him to have a panic attack. Earlier in the series, he was hesitant to kill people, even in self-defense. However, as the series went on, he slowly got more comfortable with killing and even became his own recognised serial killer
