..History...:
James Mercer is the son of Constantine and Theodora Mercer, his parents where of the Aristocracy, though they were rather impoverished. His father was the Captain of the Guards before him and since his father passed away, the position passed on to James. The position was not a hereditary one, atleast not officially. James became a member of the guard at a young age, and his father had groomed him to succeed as the captain. James while still a guardsman was involved with one of the kings daughter, though this entire thing has been covered up from the public, even though James was of the aristocracy, his family was considered to be minor nobles and his relationship with a princess would have been scandalous for all involved. 

When his relationship with Princess Aurora was discovered, he was reassigned from the Royal Guards and became a officer in the Kingdom's army. James distinguished himself as a capable officer and soldier during his career in the army. When his father died, James was recalled back from the army and to the family estates to take over. James himself preferred to stay in the army until he was informed he was to succeed his father as head of the Royal guard. James himself was puzzled at why he would succeed his father in that post due to his previous relationship with Princess Aurora. James was informed that he was going to be given the position due to his fathers urgings and that loyal and competent people were hard to find. James also informed that he was to stay away from the Princess unless absolutely needed.

When James took over the position as Captain of the Guards, James has tried to stay away from Aurora, mainly because of his belief that Aurora has long since moved on, and that bringing back the past would not be good for everyone involved. James still does care about Aurora, but has come to the decision that avoiding Aurora would be for the best, the relationship they had would only cause problems for both of them. James also discovered that he had a daughter with Aurora, he does try to spend time with her, but at the same time, he tries avoiding her. His reasons for trying to avoid his own daughter are quite similar to his reasons for avoiding Aurora, he believes that it would be better for everyone involved.
