Joseph Stavries

Joseph Stavries was born in the upscale Skymarn city of Silverhill. He excelled in his studies, but he had a true talent for firearms, which was inspired by stories of his late father Alan, who was a veteran of the Skymar War Force before his passing.

Sadly, when he was only twelve years old, his mother died of illness during the Famine of Skymar, and his father began working later shifts at the Howlett Chemical Management Facility. Things would only prove to become increasingly difficult for Joseph, as his father was killed during an accident one night at the facility, causing it to be shut down. Joseph was then moved to an orphanage, where he did not make many friends. He had become unpopular, seeing as the parents of many of Joseph’s classmates worked at the Howlett facility, and were now out of work due to Alan’s accident causing the shutdown. Joseph was now the target of many bullies, and he managed to fend many of them off.

However, one particularly psychotic young man, Arnold Godfrey, along with his gang, cornered Joe inside of an alleyway. Joe, despite being outnumbered, managed to fight all of them off, leaving only Arnold standing. To Joe’s shock, Arnold drew a pistol and moved in to shoot him. Joseph managed to snatch the gun. Arnold then drew a knife and tried to stab Joe, leading Joe to instinctively shoot Arnold, killing him.

Joe would eventually encounter his father, who had transformed into the Fangwolf.
