Biography[]

Joel was an adult Caucasian male with red hair and glasses, who appeared to be in his late twenties or early thirties. Joel was a science-fiction/fantasy enthusiast who was married to a woman named Amy, with whom he had a daughter named Arwen, presumably named after the character from Lord of the Rings.

A viral epidemic spread across the United States, infecting people and turning them into homocidal, obscene maniacs, which came to be known as the Crossed. Joel and his family met up with other survivors and sought temporary refuge in a cave.

Joel erroneously believed that volumes of salt would kill the Crossed from seeing a Crossed fall into salt and die, but he soon learned to his horror how wrong he was.

When Joel, Amy, and Arwen were fleeing through the woods with the group, Amy tripped and sprained her ankle. She fell to the ground and Joel went back for her. As the group walked away and left them behind, the crossed came closer to the family. When they got close enough, Joel attempted to drive off the cross and protect his family by having them stand inside a ring of salt. The Crossed broke the salt line and ravaged them. Arwen was dismembered, Army was raped, and Joel was anally raped and forced to watch his loved ones die horribly as he himself presumably died as well. [1]
