"Another job well done by Agent James."

"My father is Philip Aubrey. Maybe you've heard of him. He stole billions from his clients, so I know how this works. So you say that you don't have an account worth 4.6, because today the value might be 4.63 or 4.8. So, in your twisted little mind, you've told the truth. And if the account's in the name of some holding company, then you can honestly report that you don't have anything that belongs to Christopher Pelant and Associates. Now, you should know that I actually helped bring down my own father, Mr. Dunlop. So bringing you down will be a piece of cake. And as my friends here can attest, I love cake."

Aubrey is witty, smart, and clever, although he can break down. He can be arrogant at times. He also gets easily excited and can be described as eccentric; for example, he finds it easier to remember a specific fact when he is distracted about something completely unrelated. Early in his career, he tended to focus more on the implications of certain cases before recognizing the human element, such as when he was enthusiastic about the potential of nailing a human trafficking ring before he saw the victims of the ring and realized the human element of the case. He likes children and is shown to be good with them as well.
Unlike Booth, James demonstrates a voracious appetite for learning the science behind their investigations though his ability to comprehend it is still limited. He is an avid history buff and, while dating Jessica Warren, got interested in listening to podcasts on a wide range of subjects.
Despite regularly eating his own body weight in food, he maintains an excellent physique. In The Lost Love in the Foreign Land, he told Booth that he has a blood sugar issue. Caroline refers to him as 'scrawny.' Jessica tried to motivate him to go on a "junk food cleanse" in The New Tricks in the Old Dogs, but he fell off the wagon after a day describing it as a sacrifice that a man should not have to make. His penchant for eating also gives him the ability to discern whether certain foods are artificial or organic simply based on the aftertaste.
"Huh?! Come on! I'm, like, a Forensic Food-ologist!"

This is due to his father, a Wall Street banker and fraudster, building a Ponzi scheme, and then skipping bail after being arrested and leaving Aubrey and his mother alone and destitute.

•He is shown to have a more-than-competent understanding of chemistry, which he took as a subject (perhaps at AP level).
