Born into a peasant family in a small town, James was apprenticed to a carpenter and the age of 10. THere he learned to work with with some degree of skill. It was also during this time he learned of a connection with he gods. They seemed to lead him to places and situations he would not otherwise have encountered. At the age of 17 he became an acolyte with the village priest, starting off by doing repair work for the shrine and the priest's home.
At the age of 24 it was decided that he would become an itinerant monk. Which life began with a year of training and preparation at the Temple. With that done young James set off on his journeys.
For the next six years he wandered the land, learned how to beg (which serves him well when soliciting assistance with the shrine), how to use a staff in defense, and the tending of injuries.
Then came word from the Temple that his mentor, the village priest, was retiring, and had suggested him as his replacement. So it was back to the Temple for instruction and preparation, then on to his new duties.
For the last 8 years James has been the village priest, tending the shrine, making the sacrifices, soliciting help from the neighbors when necessary, andf using his carpentry skills to maintain the shrine. Between gifts, donations, and his carpentry work (probably better known as a carpenter than a priest in some circles) he lives comfortably.
Has never pulled off a miracle, but is certain that one day he will. It's all in the hands of the gods. (Actually, he was granted a miracle once. But, he was treating a gash at the time, and the miracle asked for was that the wound heal swiftly. Which it did. But, he wasn't here to witness this miracle, and so has no idea it happened.)
