Sharon Costigan

An intelligent man who nonetheless enjoyed a life seeped in violence, lust and cocaine, James managed to avoid being killed by Kate Birchfield when he was thirty but had to pay the price of going into hiding. When he re-emerged ten years later with the intention of becoming Leader of the Gargoyles once more, James not only ended up discovering he had a twenty-year-old daughter, Andrea Costigan, but also managed to convince an old friend of his, Colin Johnson, to reveal the illusive secret of Deveraux College. After James's fight with Jessica Ellie Steel during his invasion of Deveraux, the vast amount of money he had left for her in his will prompted his own daughter to shoot a bullet through his head.
