Eames at the Inception wiki, which really isn't very detailed in terms of history, so have a Plot Synopsis at IMDb. Even then, let's just elaborate a little more on Eames and his role in the film.

In terms of his pre-canon history, not an awful lot is revealed in canon, but some things can be inferred. He has worked with Cobb and Arthur before, and likely quite a few times, judging by his familiarity with either of them. Whether or not he considers them friends is a different matter, and given the nature of Eames's personality, he's much more likely to view them as repeat business partners -- not exactly with animosity, but they aren't really buddies, either. Still they have built up a significant rapport, and Eames does trust the both of them more than he would trust the average coworker. The three of them are all the best in their respective fields, they work well together, and Eames can at the very least trust them not to screw things up.

An unfilmed exchange between Cobb and Eames ( in the shooting script, page 41 ) has Eames stating that he would be willing to sell him out, despite Cobb's apparent faith in him. He's probably just fucking around, but it's quite heavily implied that his relationship with any member of the team is purely professional, and even then, since their work involves a lot of questionable activity, anyway, his loyalty probably only extends so far.

Onto the actual movie, Eames is gambling around in Mombasa when Cobb comes up and offers him a spot on his team to perform inception, which is something considered basically impossible by just about everyone in the business. Eames accepts the offer anyway, likely because of the very pretty price tag and his rapport with Cobb and Arthur -- but also because while he's tried inception once with a different team and failed, he does believe it's possible. Just exceedingly difficult.

On the team, Eames's creative, resourceful nature also means he's a key part of brainstorming their exact approach to the plan, with his unique abilities providing a certain flexibility in how the team can choose to approach the job. He thinks out of the box to find solutions to their problems, though outside of that, Eames seems like he would be more involved in his own specialized preparation than those of his coworkers, needing careful observation of whoever he's planning to impersonate. He ends up being largely responsible for at least the concept of the overall plan, given that the entire point of it is to manipulate someone into believing something, and that just happens to be what he's good at. Within the dream itself, Eames primarily serves the role of the forger, using his abilities at impersonation to ease the process of tricking the mark by pretending to be someone he trusts -- in this case, Fischer's godfather, Browning. While forgery is obviously a specialization, for him, he also functions along with the rest of the team as a regular old extractor when the job doesn't call for forging, and is more than capable of taking on trained and militarized projections.

To put it simply, Cobb ends up fucking him and the rest of the team over, pretty damn badly. He tricks them into taking a ridiculous risk that none of them were aware of ( save for Yusuf, he took a bribe ) , and Eames does not take it lightly. At that point he's basically automatically decided that the job isn't worth it, choosing to sit it out, and the only reason he continues with it at all is because Cobb's managed to get them stuck in a situation where carrying on is the only solution. It all works out well enough in the end, with Eames getting a touch of personal satisfaction in getting to see how his own personal manipulation of Fischer through impersonating Browning plays out, and the whole team gets to prove that inception is possible after all.

Cobb's eventual reunion with his family -- as well as his eventual retirement -- really doesn't affect Eames in the slightest, and it's most likely that he simply continues on with his life and his work post-movie. If not for the whole being drawn into another reality thing.
