Joker, once called Five-Two, emerges from a fractured past marked by abandonment and indoctrination into the Holy Sol's Shadow, a clandestine assassin cadre serving the Holy Sol Temple. Brutalized by his captain through public humiliations and the shattering of his sole connection to a forgotten life—a weathered watch—he honed lethal skills that earned begrudging respect and intensified his contempt for power structures. A mission alongside Leonard Burns fractured his reality: colliding with an Infernal ignited an Adolla Link, hurling them into the surreal Adolla realm. There, Joker sacrificed his left eye, Burns his right, both glimpsing the Evangelist’s machinations. Seizing a smoldering artifact from that void, Joker unraveled the Temple’s deceptions. Fleeing the Shadow, he briefly tasted peace with a surrogate family—until their slaughter by his former handlers etched his resolve in blood.
Now a self-styled disruptor, Joker weaponizes truth through calculated manipulation, uneasy alliances, and controlled chaos. He orbits figures like Shinra Kusakabe, prodding the young pyrokinetic toward ruthlessness with riddles and half-truths, yet betrays flickers of empathy—acknowledging Shinra’s buried grief or Burns’ tormented loyalty. His Third Generation flames birth volatile playing cards and searing projectiles, merging pyrokinesis with acrobatic precision and psychological warfare. Even without fire, his raw strength and unorthodox tactics—like launching himself with a coiled tongue—rival elites such as Shō Kusakabe.
Later gambits see him storm the Holy Sol Temple alongside Benimaru Shinmon, executing the captain who once broke him. Teaming with Burns, he unearths the Evangelist’s historical forgeries, including a shapeshifter’s theft of Raffles I’s throne. Collaborations with Viktor Licht fuse science and subterfuge to corrode institutional lies. Yet Joker remains an enigma—cynical yet idealistic, solitary yet intermittently aligned with heroes. He navigates a razor’s edge between nihilism and fractured hope, his actions defying labels as he dismantles corruptions, one incendiary truth at a time.
