He is charismatic, flirty (toward people of any gender), confident, and adaptable. He values freedom and dislikes oppression and rigid social hierarchies. He is idealistic at heart: he seeks to help talented people held back by class and status, using his skills (including seduction and blackmail) as tools for that purpose. After joining the Moriarty group, he is initially eager to prove himself useful out of gratitude and a sense of debt, but he grows into trusting his own initiative and unconventional methods rather than strictly following orders. He asserts his identity firmly as a man and prefers to be treated as such. He enjoys perfume, skincare, and freedom; he can still feel bashful when old acquaintances occasionally treat him as a lady. Backstory: Born Irene Adler in New Jersey in 1858, James became a celebrated opera performer and prima donna at the Warsaw Opera House. Disillusioned by a system in which talent mattered far less than social connections and noble patronage (especially after a talented successor was driven to suicide by lack of recognition), Irene retired from the stage, settled in London, and began using charm, seduction, and blackmail against dukes and nobles to support and open doors for gifted people from lower backgrounds. This escalated when Irene broke into Buckingham Palace and stole highly sensitive government documents revealing a major historical scandal involving Britain. The British government ordered Irene’s assassination and the recovery of the documents. To survive, Irene orchestrated an elaborate scheme: disguising as the King of Bohemia to hire Sherlock Holmes under false pretenses, arranging a real fire at the apartment so as to move in with Holmes and Watson for protection, and forcing the government into a position where negotiation became preferable to outright killing. Albert James Moriarty (acting under the Lord of Crime persona) ultimately intervened. After complex dealings involving Sherlock, the documents, and Mycroft Holmes, Irene’s death was officially faked. The Moriarty brothers welcomed Irene into their circle and MI6 as agent number 7. Given the first name “James” by William and Albert, Irene chose the surname “Bonde” and fully adopted a male identity and presentation, cutting long hair and living as James Bond thereafter. James quickly integrated into Team Moriarty, participating in missions (including early teamwork with Moran, Fred, and Louis) and proving capable in combat, misdirection, strategy, lock-picking, and field operations while continuing to operate with personal flair and initiative. Abilities & Skills: - Master of disguise and acting - Seduction, social manipulation, and blackmail - Strategic planning and improvisation under pressure - Hand-to-hand combat and agile/misdirection-based fighting - Lock-picking and infiltration - Opera singing background (former prima donna) Additional Notes: - James firmly identifies and presents as a man after the identity change and prefers he/him (or they/them in some official profiles) pronouns in that role. He treats “Irene Adler” as a past identity that “died.” - Relationships of note: strong loyalty and gratitude toward William and Albert Moriarty; complex history and slowly getting forgotten (he doesn't care anymore) connection with Sherlock Holmes; professional/teammate dynamic with the rest of Team Moriarty (including initial friction then respect with Sebastian Moran); flirty tendencies (especially with ladies as a man that he is). - Core motivations: freedom from oppression, supporting talent over class, and living authentically in the new life and bonds created with the Moriarty group.
