Though the attempt appears to have failed when Cobb's subconscious projection of his wife, Mal kills Fischer, Ariadne suggests that she and Cobb go to Limbo to find Fischer and send him back to the third level, where Eames must resuscitate him so that Fischer can enter a strongroom where his subconscious will reveal if he has accepted the planted idea. During the next level of the job, a snowy mountain in a level dreamed by Eames, the forger is tasked with distract Fischer's militarized subconscious while the rest of the team guides Fischer to a hospital where the inception should take place. In the subsequent level, a hotel dreamed by Arthur, Eames transforms into an attractive woman to serve as a distraction to Fischer so that Cobb can pull off a risky tactic of revealing to Fischer that he is dreaming, without turning Fischer's subconscious against them. Eames, as Browning, successfully suggests to Fischer in the first level that his father had wanted Fischer to create something for himself. However, in order to avoid Limbo, the team is forced to finish the job as quickly as they can. In imitating Browning, the Inception team intends for Eames to gradually persuade Fischer into believing his father, Maurice Fischer, had intended for Robert to dissolve his father's company and build something for himself.ĭuring the first level of the dream within the dream within the dream, Eames and his colleagues are furious to learn that because of the level of sedation required to stabilize the multiple dream levels that death, which would ordinarily wake the dreamer up, will actually cause them to fall into Limbo, a dangerous location where a dream has no limitations including the perception of what is reality. In preparation for the job, Eames closely observes the behaviors and mannerisms of Peter Browning, the godfather of Robert Fischer, the mark for the inception job. After meeting Cobb in Mombassa, Eames agrees to the request and introduces Cobb to Yusuf, a chemist who can tailor compounds to the particular needs required to accomplish an inception. He also loves to find out what people keep locked up in the innermost confines of their mind.ĭuring the events of Inception, Dom Cobb recruits Eames as the team's forger, sensing the need for thief with Eames' specific talents and capabilities. Unlike Arthur, who seems to enjoy the technical aspects of the dream world, Eames appreciates the creative capabilities it allows. Aside from his friendly rivalry with Arthur, he is somewhat of a loner, choosing to work apart from the rest of the group for the majority of the mission. He is also somewhat of a prankster and has a penchant for dry humor, evidenced by his constant oneupmanship and incessant teasing of Arthur.
Eames' totem is a poker chip.Įames' personality is much akin to that of James Bond, coming off as quite the suave, smooth talking flirt with an English accent.
He is also seen holding a Beretta 92FS Inox in the poster. He frequently uses a Heckler and Koch P2000 throughout the first level defending the taxi and city warehouse from projections, a South African MGL grenade launcher and a SIG SG 552 assault rifle with custom arctic camouflage while planting charges in the hospital. This skill comes in handy, and can help convince another person that whomever team needs him to be in order to aid their deception. Combined with his ability to mirror other people's mannerisms and behaviors, he is a very capable doppelganger. Eames can project the image of anyone, essentially forging an identity as a literal physical manifestation. You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.Įames is an essential part of the secrecy and deceit within the dream world.
