James Lethbridge-Stewart (Inferno Earth)

Gordon James Lethbridge-Stewart, also known as James Gore or the General, was a human major and later general. James was born in 1926 on Inferno Earth. (PROSE: Mind of Stone)

On the Inferno Earth it was young Alistair who died in 1938, after accidentally falling down Golitha Falls. In that reality James never met Maha, and went on to become a major in the Coldstream Guards. In 1959 he met a man who he came to learn was his dead brother from a parallel future Earth, Colonel Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. James travelled to a middle-reality in the 1940s with the colonel and there met another version of his brother, Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart. He was instrumental in saving Alastair, transporting him to the Inferno Earth where he met their father Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, Director of External Security. (PROSE: The Schizoid Earth)

At some point around 1969, James crossed realities, arriving on Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart's Earth around 1954. (PROSE: Ashes of the Inferno) James took the name James Gore (using the surname of his maternal grandmother) and, known as General Gore or simply the General, became the head of the Vault.

In October of 1969, James hired a man named Simon to gain the trust of Owain Vine, whom he had learned to be his reincarnation. (PROSE: Times Squared)

In November of 1969, James attempted to kidnap Owain in Santorini. (PROSE: Blood of Atlantis, Mind of Stone)

On 24 December of 1969, James learned of Leslie Johnston's attempt on Alistair's life and killed him. (PROSE: Mind of Stone)

While events occurred at the Inferno Project, James was haunted by memories and images of the Inferno Earth. Getting a vision of Brigade Leader Alastair Lethbridge-Stewart, James contacted Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, who informed him of Inferno Earth's fiery end and agreed to take him to the now-closed Inferno Project. While there, James saw a vision of Brigade Leader Lethbridge Stewart; when Section Leader Liz Shaw shot the Brigade Leader, the bullet also hit James. James died in Alistair's arms.
