A revered figure in the drug game, James was an elusive kingpin from humble beginnings who ran a major drug organization in New York, with best friend Tommy Egan and wife Tasha St. Patrick. The arrival of his long unseen first love, federal prosecutor Angela Valdes, furthered his desire to leave behind his criminal life in pursuit of legitimacy, which threatened and eventually shattered the family he built with the drug business. Despite several setbacks, James achieved his dream as he became New York's potential candidate for Lieutenant Governor, but not without personal losses, including the deaths of Angela and his daughter with a now estranged Tasha, Raina. His rise to the top was ended when he met his demise at the hands of his son, Tariq, who was influenced by James's former criminal associate Kanan Stark, and was motivated by his frustration with his father's dishonesty.
James St. Patrick was born in Queens, New York and was raised by his father who had his own club which inspired James of wanting his own club. James was particularly close to his Uncle Gabe. At some point, James stopped a couple of thugs from beating up Tommy Egan who was picked on due to his standout race and the two became close friends sticking up for each other ever since. At another point, James' father was killed by drug dealers who he attempted to report to the cops for harassment. As a result, James left his old home and moved in with Tommy. However, this was still not good enough because they struggled to survive on the streets, ultimately causing him and Tommy to start hustling on the corner for Kanan and Breeze in their original hometown South Jamaica Queens. He was soon given the nickname "Ghost" by Breeze as he became so professional in selling that he vanished before the police could spot him. He met Angela Valdes in high school, while Ghost and Angie were together her family hated Ghost for his drug dealing ways. Eventually, Angie went away with her family and Ghost never got a chance to see her again.
While hustling on the streets, he worked under Breeze who was a strong street leader but wasn't too smart. His decisions often put Kanan, Tommy, and Ghost in danger. While still in High School, Ghost came up with a plan to kill Breeze. Ghost and Kanan snuck into Breeze's apartment while he was watching Jeopardy, Ghost offered Breeze the chance to join his plan but was rejected. With no other choice, Ghost shot Breeze in the back of the head before he could react while he was distracted by television. With Breeze dead, Kanan becomes the Boss while Ghost and Tommy worked the corners for him.
As a young adult, Ghost met and ended up marrying Tasha and having three children with her (in accordance to an iron-clad prenup agreement with Tasha) Ghost had plans to expand his business beyond the streets, but Kanan would not go for it and was Ghost main obstacle in his plans of moving forward. Kanan was a young, ambitious, hotheaded drug dealer, who simply was content with what he had.
This caused Ghost to wonder what to do with him, as Tasha told Ghost to kill Kanan but he loved him too much like a big brother to do so, instead he put Kanan in prison with Tasha aiding him in the act.
Now free to fulfill his plans, Ghost and Tommy used all the money they made on the drug corner to buy parking lots and then laundry-mats. Ghost then fulfilled his plan to open a night club, which was the dream Ghost wanted for years. Whereas Tommy only wanted it to clean their drug money. Julio was their 3rd in command but originally Julio was part of a street gang & Ghost managed to get him out of the gang by paying for his freedom and having him come work for him.
