Biography[]
James Harmon began curating at the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities around 1975. He eventually would get his hands on the Sword of Alexander, which he felt was the culmination of his forty-year career as a museum curator. However, the sword was actually a fake, and had been sold on the black market in 1998 to later hang over the bed of the Sultan of Hajar.
During a gala party at the museum, James Harmon showed the sword to Diana Prince, who was at the museum during a visit to Gotham City.[2]
