Josiah Hargraves
I Agree
Yes
Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No
Age
29
Blood Type
O+
Personality
Temperamental, prideful, high-strung. He's the type of person who is always competitive. He wants to be the best and wants recognition for it. He's loyal and glory-seeking. In the end, he just wants to be seen as better than the others. Morally, he understands that violence is an intricate part of the world. Especially now. However, he still holds humanity within himself to try to walk in the path of compassion when it is reasonable and if he is in the right mood. Unfortunately, his temper and his pride is also a glaring weakness that can be exploited.
Character Motivations
He's motivated to climb the ranks and to recognition for himself. He wants his name to be remembered rather than to be swept away in the annals of history. He's felt insignificant for a long time and he wants to distinguish himself to be remembered.
Physical Appearance
He stands at 5'4'' and has black hair with a short, full beard. He appears to be strong for his size and has a self-confident posture. He's got dark-brown eyes with thick eyebrows. The man doesn't look very approachable as he has an RBF.

Biography
He was born in New York, New York. He was born in a poor family, living inside a trailer park most of his life and his family was barely skating through. His parents were not perfect, his mother was a stripper and his father went MIA before he was even born. He was 16 years old when the apocalypse started. He didn't have much but his mother and she was already gone by the time he made it back home. Whether or not she died is something he doesn't know. It wasn't long until the desperate teenager joined a group of ragtag survivors. It all started with stealing and robbing. For a while, he stayed with the same group - gaining lots of notoriety for their petty lifestyle. It was when a robbery turned sour that shook him out of his delusions of invincibility. Bounty hunters laid an ambush, baiting them into their usual robbery scheme. They shot and killed those not clever enough to accept defeat, rounding the rest of them up including Josiah.
Under captivity, he was sold off and forced to work in a mine. Living conditions were rough, they were given the minimum necessities of food and water to live, working at least twelve hours a day with short breaks. This continued on for a whole year for Josiah until he was selected by the mine overseer to become one of the chosen few slaves who would work under his wing assisting in enforcing, administration, and parts of the mining operation that required more experience and skill in exchange for a higher status, better living conditions. Despite his inferior position, this was an upgrade. Certainly better than before. This time in the indentured labor within the mine he helped assist in carpentry, hard labor in extraction, working the explosives with dynamite. It also gave him an inflated ego. His career in the mine ended when the mine collapsed, luckily, he able to get out safely along with the majority of the workers. With what skills he had in handling explosives, carpentry, and the endurance for hard labor - he was relocated in the construction where he continued to endure the lifestyle until word was spread about the plan to break out. He worked intricately with the escapists in procuring the explosives needed to make the exit whilst the others smuggled and fashioned weapons.
During the night of the execution, they wore stolen uniforms, outfits - at least to appear to look like guards or otherwise during the execution. At this moment in time, this was the first time he's ever experienced having killed someone living, uninfected with the red-eye with his own hands. A guard that he befriended. Admittedly, so that he would cut him some slack and in the end put some trust in him. Nevertheless, he liked him. The guy had a family, had kids who depended on him. In the end, it didn't matter. He ended up cutting him in the jugular, watching the man gurgle his own blood and the life flash out of their eyes. The spur of the moment, the urge to survive, and regain control of his own life after years justified that for Josiah. He took his rifle, escaping with the others and fled into the countryside. Every man after his own from that point. They all had lives they wanted to return to, no matter how long ago it was. For Josiah, this was nowhere - there is no home to return to. He ended up joining a band of wandering mercenaries providing protection to caravans, escorting people through different towns, etc.
He was essentially a caravan guard for the Brighton caravans. Through this work was the first time he encountered Brighton prior to when they became an isolationist. From then on, he went through and became a permanent Brighton resident as a hired gun. He's felt insignificant his entire life and now taking what life has given him to drive his ambition and ego. For whatever reason, Brighton is going to send him down in Monroe to assist in whatever interests they have in the region.
