"I lost a sister in Chicago, you have no sympathy for me!"

- Savoy to Ratchet for his sister's death in Chicago.

James Savoy was the secondary human antagonist of Transformers: Age of Extinction

Biography
He was the right-hand man of Harold Attinger and the leader of a CIA black ops group known as the Cemetery Wind to capture Cade Yeager, his daughter, Tessa and Shane and kill all Transformers. He wants to kill Optimus Prime and all the other Autobots and Decepticons since his sister was killed in the battle of Chicago.

At the climax of the film, He engages in a fight with Cade where they are punching each other in a building in Hong Kong. He loses the fight when he pulls out a knife to kill Cade but instead Cade throws a football at his head and pushes him out of the window, causing Savoy to fall to his death, breaking his spine, killing him and put an end of his wrath for good.

Personality
James was a loyal Attinger's right-hand man whom held the grudge against Cybertronians, either the good ones (mostly Autobots) and the evil one (mostly Decepticon). Perhaps since the death of his sister in Chicago at the hands of Sentinel Prime and Decepticon army, it was implied that he has went insane since then. This was due to her death has drove him wrathful and highly sadistic, takes enjoyment out of inflicting the suffering and pain toward the helpless Cybertronians and humans alike like he did to Ratchet and Tessa(which forced the Optimus Prime out of his hiding). Even before his death, James himself had been twisted into somewhat thinking that Cade, along with his Autobot allies and his family, mocking him over his sister's death as he went on the blind fury with his knife to stab Cade when Cade tries to reason with him for the final time before being forced to send him to his death. This might the reason why Attinger appointed him as his right-hand man, though his homicidal wrath eventually put into an end at hands of Cade at the last moment during their final fight.

In the lesser extend, James also considered as anti villain due to he clearly love his sister, something which made him held a deep hatred towards Cybertronian in his crippled heart.
