Background
Being one of the many local legends in Portland, this mysterious figure is fairly popular with the local scavenger population; he is seen as a vigilante, silently helping those who are in need. Legends of the Hanged Man date back to before the arrival of the NCR Exiles. It is said that the Hanged Man was a serial killer in Sandlot who was hanged in the gallows. For his crimes he was denied the peace of death, and now his ghost walks the wasteland, delivering retribution onto wrongdoers.

He was a sniper for the NCR First Recon and transferred to the First Brigade during the Brotherhood War. During this time, he was a close friend of Jackson Bannon, and the two bonded over Joseph's frequent pranking and silly antics. He left the Brigade after the Bright Town massacre due to guilt. He was once the boyfriend of Temperance, but she did not like his brooding "loner" ways and the fact that he also tried to kill himself in her bathtub, causing her to dump him. His sister Star also mysteriously disappeared.

He was eventually captured and hung from a lamppost at The Gallows by legionaries. He survived, but the damage to his vocal cords left him only able to speak with a very hoarse voice, making him insecure about the way he sounds and preferring to keep quiet.
