James Hercules

James Ferdinand Hercules was a heroic dog, a former Military officer and companion of Paula. He's also the ghost of Scooby, Xaq's deceased dog.

As Scooby
Scooby lived with Xaq, who he loved, but Xaq was cruel and wouldn't let him pray.

Ghostly Return
Scooby's ghost began making contact with Paula in the hopes of convincing Xaq to believe in the afterlife so that he could embrace Scooby's existence. However Xaq remained stubbornly atheistic. Finally, rejected, Scooby took on a new name, casting off his "slave name" - he became James Hercules.

James Hercules
James quickly built a new life for himself. He served in the military as a mine-sniffing dog, where he singlehandedly defeated ISIS.

He returned home to live with Paula, where he contracted rabies and she chased him with a shotgun, finally shooting him dead. However he later got better and resented Paula for it.

Family Life
James would later settle down, fathering Little J.

Family
Mr. Hercules has a large family, including his son, Little J, and grandson, Little J Jr.
