Biography

Believed to be dead until 2015, Joseph had contacted the Templars and disclosed that a Piece of Eden had been hidden in Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of 1692. He informed the Assassins, explaining that he was trying to draw out the Templar Didier Hawking in San Diego; Xavier Chen believed him, but Galina Voronina was suspicious. He was then captured and locked in a Templar safehouse in San Diego.

To verify his claim, they recruited Charlotte de la Cruz to explore her ancestor Tom Stoddard's memories of the event. When Charlotte witnessed Joseph's Assassin ancestor Jennifer Querry's death, therefore, made the Assassins believe that he was telling the truth. Galina and Xavier immediately headed to a Templar safehouse 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.
