- James Winterwood is a fictional English traveller, adventurer and writer of second half of the XIX century and a recurring character of the Brazilian writer Rita Maria Felix da Silva. He was introduced in the short story San Juan Romero. James travelled around the world collecting "curious facts" to use in his books. More frequently than he would like, these facts were supernatural. Among his adventures during his travels he found the dark secret about a Mexican village, was involved in the strange contend between Lord Douglas Whitehill and the bizarre Skykeeper and, by dreams, travelled to Earth's past and knew Mareish-Loh (the Spirit of Winter). At other moment, he had a dangerous meeting with the Egyptian mythological monster called "the Ammut". He was in Brazil (where found about the refuge of monsters and other supernatural beings called "Arena") and in Portugal, when he was, involuntarily, attracted to participate in Jose Fagundo de Solemar's plans, a sorcerer of Coimbra. Four important features define James Winterwood: 1. A melancholy temperament (a result of James´tentative to "understand" the reality, more specifically "evil in the world and in the human heart"). 2. An extraordinary memory. Since he accumulatted a plenty of painful remembrances during his life, James practiced memory-blockage, using a technique he learned from an African shaman. 3. A heart probably sapient that works as his conscience, "talking" to him and advicing him. In Century XXI, Sam Winterwood, of who James was ancestor, had a heart like him. 4. His desire his books can become his name immortal.
