james ellison






Played by: Richard T. Jones

Occupation:
FBI Field Agent

Signature Look:

An Attractive Appealing Professional













Personality: While he is definitely charming and has a good nature, Ellison is a charismatic enigma whose persona is too complicated to fully understand yet. What is truly driving him to seek answers is still a mystery.
Skills: Highly intelligent, doggedly determined. Has an uncanny knack to put things together at a steady pace. A man who looks for answers and help in religion and faith. Will ask questions and willing to take risks to get them answered.

Bio: Ellison was once one of the FBI’s top agents until he was assigned the seemingly simple task of hunting down and bringing to justice a dangerous fugitive, Sarah Connor. His pursuit of Sarah Connor went awry when she mysteriously vanished, leaving many unanswered questions. Ellison’s stature was diminished in the eyes of his fellow agents. Eight years later, Sarah Connor would mysteriously reappear on the wanted scene, leading Ellison to have an unrelenting resolve to apprehend Sarah Connor to exonerate himself. However, as his pursuit continues he is beginning to learn that there may be more to the story Sarah Connor than meets the eye.


REPORT#1: In "Pilot", a man named Charley Dixon reported that his fiancee had gone missing to the police. This would lead to the FBI getting involved and they would dispatch Agent James Ellison on the case. He explained to Charlie that his fiancee was none other than Sarah Jeanette Connor, who is a wanted fugitive that escaped a mental facility, blew up Cyberdyne Headquarters, and killed Miles Dyson. Charlie refused to believe Ellison's claims.

Ellison would then begin tracking Sarah, which would lead him to New Mexico. However, when he found the house the Connors had purchased, he found it wrecked with signs of fighting, but no blood. He then was informed that the students at the school her son, John Connor was attending, saw a shooter with a "robotic leg."(Cromartie). This began to complicate Ellison's assignment as he tried to put the connection between the "shooter" and the Connors together. His hunt for Sarah would temporarily end when she was believed to be dead after bombing a bank during an armed robbery. She wouldn't be seen again for eight years, and Ellison's reputation would be diminished. In 2007, the news reported what was thought to be a college prank of three people(one male and two females) naked on the freeway. However, Ellison was busy working and missed the news bulletin.

Agent Ellison would then look into a streak of eccentric murders that seem to be connected in some fashion. He looked into the murder of the three resistance soldiers murdered by Vick Chamberlain,who was really a terminator. It was there he would find the remnants of a T-888 arm. He would also look into the case of Dr. Flemming who was murdered and had his eyes gouged out, and the murder of plastic surgeon David Lyman, who were both killed by Cromartie. He also looked into the murder of FBI worm, Enrique Salceda, who was killed by Cameron.

He saw the security tape of Lyman's murder and believed that criminal was actor George Lazlo. Ellison knew that these 6 murders were somehow connected and questioned Lazlo and got a blood sample from him, which ended up being false. Ellison was able to figure that the murderer must have killed the plastic surgeon Lyman after making him look like Lazlo. He would then go to Lazlo's apartment and warn Lazlo that someone was trying to frame him. He gave him his card. However, what Ellison did not know that the Lazlo he warned was really Cromartie, who now looks like Lazlo and killed the real Lazlo recently.

Ellison began looking into the murder of Andy Goode, who was an interm at Cyberdyne at the time Miles Dyson was still alive. In " Queens Gambit", he questioned the captured suspect, Derek Reese. He reveals to Derek that a blood sample connects him to the murder, but Derek dosen't tell him anything. Sarah would secretly visit Derek to get answers as to why he killed Andy, and ends up helping him in a jailbreak during a transport. A fight would ensue in the jaillbreak in which the terminator Vick Chaimberlain would fight Cameron and be shut down by her. Sarah, John, Cameron and Derek would escape. When Ellison arrived to the scene, he found only Vicks arm.

In "The Demon Hand" Ellison, who had lost all of his leads then started watching tapes of Sarah Connor during her time at Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, hoping to find answers. Her words in the video clicks in his head and he grabs the T-888's hand, which he had been illegally hiding, in his freezer. He took a visit to the mental institution and asks if there were any people who worked here during Sarah's time. He was told only one person. Peter Silberman, her counseler. He was told that he had retired and was living in the mountains alone. Ellison finds Silberman working in his yard and shows him the cybernetic hand, and asks him about Sarah. Silberman invites him in for tea. As the two talk about Sarah, Ellison suddenly becomes dizzy and passes out. When he awakens, he finds that Silberman has tied him to a chair. Silberman tells Ellison that he thinks he is from the future sent here to kill him. He procedes to toturing Ellison by inserting a small knife in his leg. Ellison screams in agony, confirming him to be a human. Silberman, harshly, wraps Ellisons wound. Silberman then begins speaking like a madman about the apocalypse and Judgement Day, using bible references. He even talks about how the T-101(From T2) came to save Sarah from the T-1000. Ellison reveals that he came here for his help, and he could prove that Sarah is not crazy. Silberman goes into Ellison's trunk and finds the T-888's hand in a cooler. He wants to destroy it, so he drugged Ellison and sets his house on fire, with Ellison still trapped inside. As Silberman begins to leave the house, he is confronted by Sarah, who punches him in the face, takes the arm, and saves Ellison from the exploding house. Later, as it rains, Ellison, now drug free, kicks Silberman and demands to know where the arm is. Silberman tells him Sarah took it and begins laughing like a maniac. This event made Ellison to realise that what happened in the bank eight years ago was an elaborate ruse of Sarah faking her own death with her son and unknown accomplice in order to cease fleeing. Later he watches as the guards lock Silberman in a cell at Pescadero. As he walks away, he hears him sceaming maniacally about the coming apocalypse and the machines. As he seeks solace admist a Bible reading group, he realizes that the words of the mentally-ill Dr Silberman may indeed be true. Despite knowing that Sarah is still alive, he did not alert the FBI of what he discovered, but seeking to learn more of the impending future from her as he has a desire to stop Skynet and its machines himself.

In the season finale "What We Beheld", Ellison decided to visit Charley Dixon. He believed that Charley knew where Sarah was hiding, and told him that he is starting to actually believe Sarah's story. Charley says he'll him what he told Agent Kester, he doesn't know anything. Ellison accepted his answer, but has one thing on his mind. There was no other agent on this case. Ellison then began to suspect that there was an impersonator among the FBI. Ellison asked a clerk to look up the file of Agent Kester and saw that he looked like the actor George Lazlo, confirming that he was the killer of Drs. Flemming and Lyman. Ellison immediately formed a 22 man squad Kester's hideout, which was a motel. Despite of Ellison strongly suspect that the Kester is one of the machines, known as T-888 Cromartie, he is trying to find, he has no idea how to stop it. The raid would quickly turn into tragedy as the squad was simply no match for the ruthless cyborg, who killed nearly every agent accept Ellison. As Cromartie was about to kill Ellison, he stopped and identified him as James Ellison. Cromartie then for some reason decided to not kill Ellison and left him alive. Ellison's belief in the possibility of terminators would unfortunately be forever changed when he witnessed the carnage Cromarite caused. When Dixon arrived to the scene, he saw a despaired Ellison. It was now clear to him, that in the hunt for Sarah Connor, he has found a horrible discovery.(REPORT#1 complete.)

Report#2:
After Cromarties's carnage, Ellison later found the real George Lazlo's body in his apartrment. Knowing that no one would believe him of killer machines from the future, Ellison had Lazlo to take the blame of Cromartie's crimes. After a leave of absence from the FBI, Catherine Weaver, CEO of ZeiraCorp, offered him an employment opportunity to find Skynet technology. The agent is surprised to find a believer of the impending future of Skynet and its army of machines. Unknown to Ellison, Weaver is actually another cyborg, a T-1001, looking to reverse engineer Skynet technology in the present to bring the rise of the machines.

Ellison also becomes a friend of Charley Dixon after what happened at Lazlo's home. After he arrived the Dixons' resident, he discovers that Charley has acquired a firearm for protection, despite the paramedic's dislike of them. Realizing that Charley's stress is about to be on a breaking point, Ellison suggests that he should leave town for safety, and gives him a copy of the Bible as a gift, establishing a better relationship. He later attended Dixon's wife's funeral, after she was killed by a piece of Cromartie's bomb's shrapnel.

Ellison recently find himsef being targeted by a double sent by Skynet to take his place. However, he was saved by Cromartie, who's disagreeing with Skynet, of believing Ellison still has an importance of locating Sarah and John Connor. This, along with the deaths of the twenty one HRTs and Michelle Dixon's death, intensify the former agent's obsession to bring the cyborg down as he is unwilling to be a machine's pawn.

NOTES
  • Because Cromartie spared Ellison, it is hinted that Ellison's role in the show may have something to do with the creation of Skynet (Cromartie also could have spared him because he analyzed he was no threat).
  • Ellison's character in the show, is more and more becoming the essence of a quintessential "tragic hero", as he has become involved in a saga that he has taken many lives, while he only wants to save them.


QUOTES


  • "Somebody came back here for whatever was in that safe, they're out there and I'm going to find them."
  • "I'll never do the devil's work."
  • "Glad you kept the name."


EPISODES | SCENES

  • Episode 3- The Turk: "Did your crime scene guys find any peculiar blood. Lab says, some blood evidence found at my CI crime scene is almost human, except there's no red-blood cells present. I want to see the blood evidence from your guys."

  • Episode 3- The Safe-house: "I got an uncle thats like a father, I also got one thats like a stranger, how about you two." More like an aunt, chatty chatty. (Carlos in white) (both laugh) "Alright, so your not too close, (Carlos takes a drink) but he did call you three times the day he was murdered. What you chat about?" Boss, those laker's! "Really, what about them?" Cobby, he's the bomb. "I always thought he was a ball hog." He's all alone man, hes got no one else that can shoot. "Is that you Carlos, now that your uncles dead, you all alone." Hell, all these boys can shoot. (James laughs, with a smile/ shifting mood) I didn't kill my Uncle. "No,(with a nod) and your too smart to know nothing about who did." Then he gave his card to bodyguard.

There is no information on the history of him anywhere. I guess it’s all up to theories at this point.

My theory is that he served in the Marines as a sergeant or higher. He has that walk, if you know want I mean. He also has a bachelor’s degree, most likely in law. Very determined, can always find a way to get a lead.
