After losing his family, James "Jay" Brightwood joins the U.S. Army. Eight years later, he decides to join the FBI as a Supervisory Special Agent. Jay reunites with his childhood friends, Dr. Spencer Reid and Agent Aaron Hotchner, even though neither of them initially knows they share a mutual acquaintance. Despite some initial doubts from certain members of the team, James is gradually welcomed and integrates into his new role at the FBI, ready to face upcoming challenges alongside his colleagues. *I've always imagined Hotch as a big brother to Reid, so I decided to add a character that ties them together and finally gives Spencer the family he deserves.*
