Biography

Joseph participated in a disastrous mission overseen by Xavier Chen: among those killed were his lover Christian.[1] He disappeared, letting the Assassins believe he died too.[2]

Joseph met with the Templar Didier Hawking in San Diego, claiming he was defecting and wanted to draw Xavier into a trap. However, he still loathed Abstergo, and had an explosive disguised as false teeth. He let the Assassins now of his survival, claiming he would disclose to the Templars that a Piece of Eden had been hidden in Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of 1692. Chen believed him, but his new partner Galina Voronina was suspicious.[3]

To verify his claim, they recruited Charlotte de la Cruz to explore her ancestor Tom Stoddard's memories of the event.[3] When Charlotte witnessed Joseph's Assassin ancestor Jennifer Querry's death, it made the Assassins believe that he was telling the truth. Galina and Xavier immediately headed to the Abstergo office in San Diego to rescue Joseph. However, as Charlotte dug deeper in her own ancestor's memories, it was revealed that Joseph was lying since Querry's child, David, knew where the precursor seer, Dorothy Osborne's body, was laid.[2]

Joseph chained himself to an interrogation table in a gym. Beforehand, while in Didier's office, he had him punch out a couple of his teeth to make it appear he'd been tortured. When Xavier and Galina came to rescue him, he lunged at them and broke Galina's leg. Xavier pushed him into the gym pool, but Joseph suffocated him to death with his wrist chain, drowning him. Joseph emerged and prepared to kill Galina when Charlotte attacked. Joseph threw her and proceeded to explain his motives and revealed that the Assassins had recruited her for her precognitive powers, trying to sway her to join him. He detonated his bomb to prove he was trustworthy, but Charlotte refused to join him, and she fled with Galina when Abstergo entered the gym and opened fire.[1]

Trivia

  • Joseph had over sixty kills during his career as an Assassin.
