James Frampton

James Frampton is a cop and a witch. He has a Familiar, Portia and used his powers to solve crimes.

History
James Frampton met Sam and Dean at some undisclosed time in the past where he helped them face a homicidal Alchemist. Afterwards he developed an interest in the occult and became a witch. Using his new found powers, he rose from a rookie to a Grade A detective almost overnight and had a 100% success rate as a homicide dectective.

Dual Life
He lives a dual life of a cop and a witch. James has a familiar named Portia and, agaist the norm, he began a sexual relationship with her. This turned Spencer, another witch, against him because he wanted Portia as his familiar and was even more enraged when he found out they were romantically involved. Spencer started to implant memories of grisly murders into James' mind causing James to think he was responsible for the killings, which in turn drove James to misery and panic. Worried about him, his Familiar called Sam and Dean for help. Initially, they were skeptical and thought he had lost control of his powers, but gave him the benefit of the doubt because he had saved their lives so they began investigating to see if another witch could be responsible.

After finding nothing, they decided to kill him but Portia managed to stop them in time and convince them to keep looking. They discovered that word was being spread he had gone psycho, which was turning the other local witches against James. Following Astral projection he discovered, that Ed (the person he surpassed as lead detective) was building a case agaist him, and he had been testified against by Philippe.

In rage, he telekinetically threw Sam and Dean, and ordered Portia to leave, before confronting Philippe at the club, there he discovered it was Spencer who was responsible, who up to this point he thought was his friend. Spencer explained how he was angry that not only had he lost out on having Portia as his familiar, but they had disregarded the rules and had a sexual relastionship. James tried to kill him, but Spencer proved to be the stronger Witch, and overpowered not just him, but Sam and Dean (who had recovered and caught up). Spencer tried to kill James, but the combined efforts of Portia, Sam and Dean defeated him, saving James. In the end though James had to run, as he still had Ed after him. So he bid Sam and Dean goodbye, and left with Portia.
