Heroes and Villains Wiki

I lost a sister in Chicago! You have no sympathy for me!
―James Savoy explaining his motivations for wanting to eliminate the Autobots.
James Savoy: Tough luck, Yeager! We all have family!
Cade Yeager: Yeah, but at least I'm going to live to see mine.
―James Savoy's last words to Cade Yeager before his death.

James Savoy is the secondary antagonist in the 2014 film Transformers: Age of Extinction. He is a human who developed a hatred for Cybertronians regardless of their alignment since losing his sister during the Battle of Chicago in Dark of the Moon (2011).

He is a ruthless, corrupt and sociopathic CIA agent who served as the second in-command of the agency's black ops unit known as Cemetery Wind, as well as being the second in-command of Harold Attinger. Furthermore, he is also the arch-rival of Cade Yeager.

He was portrayed by Titus Welliver.
