Captain James



Captain James is a main character of Space Rover, one of the three crew members aboard the Rover, and the first one introduced. He is the first character heard in the pilot episode "Undocumented Features". He is described by the writers as "clever, but rarely wise" which is why, although capable in many respects and possessing in wit, he can make massive mistakes or have very poor judgement. His primary ambition was stability and freedom from responsibility, having enjoyed his job in Commonwealth haulage for those reasons.

He spends his time in the series in an attempt to recreate what he had. He is also not that resistant to trips of greed and is not averse to doing illegal things to acquire wealth, though he is not immoral and instead generally does not see the laws in question as legitimate. He has a gruff, world-weary tone of voice. He is also technically registered as the owner of Peter and Hologram, as well as the Rover, although neither of them would consider this so. He is played by Hamish Wilson.
