James Chapel

''This page is about a player character. To view the character sheet, click here.'' James Chapel is a private detective working under the thumb of Claudia Calabrese and La Famiglia Nostra after an honorable discharge from the United States Military and a dishonorable discharge from the Chicago Police Department.

A guile schemer, James' recklessness and his unpredictable, improvised gambits make it often difficult to say if his help is an asset or a liability.

Early Life
James was born in Chicago to Olivier and Margaret Chapel. Despite his french surname, Olivier's French-Catholic family had disowned him for marrying an Irish Protestant, meaning James was raised far more in touch with his mother's heritage. The testimony of this can still be seen in James' distinct accent when he speaks freely. During his high-school years, he worked part-time as a dishwasher at a local pub until he graduated and joined the military.
