Origin

After his wife Gloria died, James' world crumbled. He took out his grief and anger on his son James Sangster Jr. A hardened detective on the streets of Philadelphia, James discovered a gang of vampires. He was lured to their base and attacked. Seemingly dead, James was buried by his son. Tidying up his father's house, James Jr. discovered his father's diary. Wanting to get to know his father, James Jr. read the diary. His father seemed to think that vampires were real and that the second president of the United States, John Adams, was behind it. James Jr. met his father's partner, Jose Padilla, who confirmed his father's theories about vampires. Having a nagging feeling, James Jr. dug up his father's grave, discovering James Sr. to be a vampire.

Taking up his fight against the vampires in Philadelphia, James Sr. was finally killed by Toussaint Louverture.
