To be re-written.
Before Sugar Pine 7, James was part of many secret, yet "prestigious" groups. A major plot point early in season one was "the draft". James said he was being drafted, but couldn't tell any more. It was later revealed that he was being drafted by NASA to lead their whole organization. He avoided the draft by hiding in his secret storage facility.
Death of a Water Warrior[]
In season two, Steven and Cib became sceptical of James' water warrior past, and gave him the silent treatment until "Death of a water warrior." Steven, Cib, and Devin were talking about not trusting James anymore due to his most likely fake past. James, while practicing his "Water Warrior skills", hears them and after some pressure opens up about his true past. He tells them that he never had a family, and in fact lived in an orphanage until he became 18. While at the orphanage, one day a real Water Warrior visited the kids, telling them about his job and how he protected the country from "bad guys". This fascinated young James and after the visit was over the Water Warrior gave James an honorary Water Warrior medal, and told him that someday he could become a water warrior too. This stuck with James and he came up with his fake, Water Warrior past. After he tells the boys the truth he leaves the office.
