=== PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION ===
Joseph is the typical politician from appearance; he is photogenic and always smiles to reassure people. Having great presence in any room he uses it to his advantage to impress and control people.
=== FAMILY BACKGROUND ===
Joseph has two backgrounds really, his deep cover Background as Senator Joseph Blackford became his real identity over time. There was no attempt to cover up his time with in the fleet or his real background but up until now his history with the Intelligence corps was covered.
Joseph Patrick Blackford was born to parents Lieutenant Jack Blackford and Dr Patricia Blackford aboard the USS Drake. Like many children during the fall of the federation years he lived on ships currently on the run from Alliance assaults. Thus like most Children of the time he did not have a real childhood but more accurately was trained rapidly in the horrors of war. At the point of the Battle of Gateway Joseph was still too young to be an active member of the crew but he assisted the Medical crew during the heavy damage that the Drake endured. 
Joseph was accepted into the academy training scheme aboard vessels and immediately fell into place as a tactical and security officer excelling at that aspect of the training but lacking the discipline for such things as science. At the completion of his training he was hand picked by Commodore Gideon to be an operative of the new intelligence services. 
Whilst his placement with the intelligence services suited Joseph his methods at times landed him in trouble. He was brutal to a point and made no mistake in ensuring people told him the truth resorting to bending the rules considerably to the point of breaking on numerous cases. 
At the point of the formation of the new council Joseph was reassigned to be a deep cover operative for the intelligence services to keep an eye on government operations and to remove Joseph from the front lines of the intelligence services. For the past 6 years Joseph has served as a Senator and has been used to secure the arrest of many potential security risks for the Federation.
