James Malum has a legendary and virulent need for vengeance. Once crossed, he will make it his life’s work to ensure that whatever slight was received is repaid tenfold. This need for vengeance can be all-consuming, and can often lead to short-sighted decisions.

James Malum looks at any problem he comes across and instead of immediately complaining about it sets out to figuring out a solution. He will work tirelessly to find workarounds or a solution, but can often overthink the resolution and come up with a "fix" that is actually more complex than needed. This driven approach to fixing problems can be helpful at times but grating at others when a simple "restart" would have accomplished the task quicker than re-programming the entire device.

James Malum possesses a cold and completely uncaring demeanour. This will manifest itself in the fact that when push comes to shove, James Malum will just as soon leave a struggling ally behind rather than put themselves in danger. While this may ensure his survival, it often leaves him as an outcast amongst his peers.

James Malum is a lateral thinker, and when he encounters problems or dilemmas, he is very good at improvising and coming up with alternative solutions. This allows James Malum to find ways out of situations others might give up on. While these solutions are often not so obvious to others, James Malum can typically explain and lead others through his plan...as long as they are patient and willing enough to trust him outside thinking.

Through careful study and dedication to isolated martial-combat, James Malum has turned the act of dueling into an art form. A keen eye and attention to detail allows him the ability to learn their opponent's idiosyncrasies while fighting. James Malum then uses his own skills to capitalize on the opponent's weakness. Because of this calculated approach to isolated duels, James Malum has a harder time taking on multiple opponents at once at higher skill levels.

James Malum wears out his opponents through use of the Force, agility, and evasion. Once he has sufficiently tired his foes through the Force, physical, or mental assault, he quickly tries to find a means of cleanly and swiftly dispatching them - usually resulting in a somewhat risky all-or-nothing attempt at a deathblow.
