James McGahren

James is a minor character in Action Taimanin and possibly other Taimanin games.

He supposly works for an Anti-Nomad Faction in the UFS, the DSO. As his unique design is used for a Task Force G member named the "The Corporal", he may appeared first in Taimanin Yukikaze 2.

Personality
Formal to an almost robotic degree yet amicable. He remains laser focused on the mission objective. He presumingly is part of an Anti-Nomad group within the UFS in Action Taimanin.

The Taimanin Yukikaze 2 views Taimanin as outdated and is loyal to Task Force G a pro-Nomad group.

Appearance
A man with a bald head and black glasses.

History
Introduced as the Coporal together with the Master Sergeant. They were the body guards send for Yazaki Muneichi to bring him to the UFS, that used his information about the Dark World and its technology as a bargain chip. As Muneichi was at this point a criminal fugitive, his escape was done at night, unoffically at Haneda International Airport. The group was stopped by the arriving Taimanin, Yukikaze and Rinko, which were ordered to kill Yazaki for his revealed many crimes. The Coporal and the Sergeant revealed themselves as Cyborg Soliers but were both defeated with Rinko killing the Coperal and Yukikaze killing the Sergeant.

Timeline TABA and RPGX
Appears as a Cyborg Soldier that works for Task Force G against the anti demon DSO. He and other "CS" come into conflict with Fuuma Kotaro and die shortly after. His TABA card mentions explicitly, that he disguises himself as State Department, inviading other countries for assassinations.

Timeline Action
Requesting help from the Taimanin Task Force. This UFS agent requestes a rescue or recovery mission, for another UFS research team which including Emily Simmons, that had been overun by Zombie Creatures on Kotrara Island.

The island that at that point was overrun by monsters, thanks to Momochi Toyo use of the stolen, UFS created, CD Virus. Though members of the task force question if this is the true reason of the operation, as the corpse of Toyo was also searched by that missing team.

When the Task Force Confronted Emily Simmons, she confirmed that if James was present it meant that the UFS assumed everybody in the research team was already dead and the mission was more about finding a corpse.

After the Task Force was done on the island and fought a powerful demon named Astaroth, James and his group engaged with her in combat as well which he survived but suffered heavy loses.

Trivia

 * Speculation: Action Taimanin hints that James is not truthworthy and works for "G"
 * The model used was consistantly, only used for the "Corporal", tie and all.
 * The mission in Action Taimanin first showing him, also mentioned Task Force G for the first time.
 * James obstructs the true meaning of the mission, is not rescue but the recovery of the corpse of Momochi Toyo. Though the Task Force assums he just put up a show for UFS Pro-Nomad members.
 * Emily Simmons does not react possessive to James presence.
 * Emilies 2 Drone weapons, with which she is seen in the beginning, were discharged. Emiliy brings the drones up infront of James later on, talking about an "Insider enemy" on that mission. (hacking)
 * Though he does not to reveal to be a cyborg in Action, the fact he survived a fight with Astaroth, implies he must be superhuman.
 * The second time he is seen in the DSO base, the group talks about insider agents of "G" once more just for him to walk in.
 * Though TY2 does not give much detail about the "The Corporal" outside of him working for a corrupt part of the UFS, which tries to get demonic tech. As his model is used later for Task Force G in TABA and RPGX, it can be assumed, he even back then worked for "G".
 * His english TABA card reads: "...Currently working as a spy. He disguises himself as State Department personel..." However, a more clean translation of the Japanese Text would be: "...Spy who infiltrates target countries as an employee of the State Department...". The difference being, "disguised as State Department" VS "disguised for the State Department". As other cards with CS Agents type cards also mention "FOR" the Department. This seems to be a mistranslation in english. This is relevant because the UFS State Department is Pro Nomad and uses Cyborg Soldiers.
