Joshua Lane (Joshua Lane Character)

Joshua Lane is the title character in the web serial Joshua Lane, and is the main protagonist in the first season of the series. A wealthy, young company figurehead, Joshua Lane notices the actions of the equally-wealthy people surrounding him every day, taking issue with the sour taste their indecent ways afford them luxury and comfort. Refusing to trust the justice system to do right by the people most-defeated by such wealthy figureheads, Joshua Lane takes measures into his own hands, becoming a vigilante-murderer by the night, targeting the most depraved of New York's elite. Conflicted by past trauma, Joshua Lane begins taking roads that often question the morality of his actions, leading to the question to be asked, debating whether or not Joshua Lane is as truly evil as the monsters he claims to be bringing justice upon.
== Representation ==
In the first season of the series, Joshua Lane is shown to be a mostly unlikeable character, his actions serving a purpose bound in good, though being committed in the classic fashion of evil. His well-kept look degrades through the season, his ongoing feud with Eric Devine only further allowing him the ability to be cold towards the people he's closest to, wishing to stay as private as possible. Though most people feel put-off by Joshua during the first season, this is most-notably shown by Eliza Bradburry, who is used by Joshua Lane to obtain information about his potential-victims, whilst being forced to put the pieces of Joshua's crimes together on her own.
