Biography:
Daffydd James was born in the family home in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales on the 29th of December 1973. His father worked the local slate mine and his mother looked after the home. For the most part Daffydd’s childhood was uneventful, his school grades were good and he was your average welsh boy. The only noticeable feature he had was the unusal colour of his hair being a blue / purple. Children being children this was of course something which he had been teased about, but then it was only similar in colour to his grandfathers so for the most part Daffydd ignored it.
As his father worked long hours at the slate mine and his mother was always glad to have him out of the house and “not cluttering the place”, Daffydd often visited his grandfather who lived close by in the Rhymney Valley near Abertysswg. Daffydd still remembers the fanciful stories his grandfather would tell about dragons and magic, looking back ha has often wondered whether there was a small grain of truth to them.
It wasn’t until he reached his late teens that Daffydd’s powers began to manifest, and even then it wasn’t until his later twenties that he actually began to understand what was happening to him.
At the tender age of 17 Daffydd joined up for queen and country as a welsh borderer and then because of his mechanical aptitude went on to the royal engineers, but after 4 years service he finally realized the main reason he had joined was so he didn’t become a slate miner like his father and he decided not to re-enlisted and returned to Merthyr. Faced with the reality of no money he used his engineering experience and managed to get a contract as an engineer to the Norwegian company Norsco, who run several oil rigs in the Northsea. Whilst working the rigs Daffydd was finally able to realize a lifelong passion, he took up a part time course in esoteric studies and began to realize his magic ties to the storms and winters of his homeland.
It was this oil rig engineering experience that was to finally see Daffydd move to the USA, once he had completed his doctorate. However the oil plant he was working at was soon attacked by a group of small robotic villains, Daffydd finally forced to use his magical powers to aid his fellow workers realized his potential for aiding others was far greater than the worlds need for another engineer and so he returned to England and enrolled with the Dawn Patrol and Capt. Cymru was born.
