Yoseph Calvert is the commander of the Neuron task force, and described as being a genius scientist.

## Appearance

Yoseph is an older man with a thin face, medium-length grey hair swept to the left side of his face, and dark green eyes. He has a short mustache and beard, and wears square-rimmed glasses. Yoseph wears a brown, window-pain plaid suit, with a dress shirt and red tie patterned with a paler line resembling an ECG underneath. He wears simple black dress shoes. On top of his suit, he wears a long, pale-brown coat with a very large block-patterned collar, with a matching pattern down the front of the coat and on the sleeve cuffs.

## Background

While not much about his early life is known, Yoseph Calvert eventually became a leading member of Aegis Research Institute, as well as the commander of the Ark's police force.

## Personality

Yoseph is described as being a genius scientist, as well as usually being quiet and calm but having a strong conviction on the inside. In addition, he is manipulative and Machiavellian, willing to use people as pawns to accomplish his goals all the while claiming that it's for the good of humanity.

Yoseph is obsessed with the power of the chimeras and the Legions, believing they are the key to humanity's evolution and survival. His unhealthy admiration for legions and chimeras is such that he marvels in the player's potential when they become a true legionis and he refers to Jena's second form as "beautiful". His ideology clashes with that of the former head researcher of the ARI, Jena Anderson, in which he believes that humanity must transcend above all beings in order to survive. He is also shown to be massively misanthropic and rather self-righteous, as shown during his discussion with Jena in file 9: while Jena begged him to stop his misguided project (presumably Project Noah) and that humanity should stay as it is, he coldly responded by telling Jena that she was the misguided one and derisively told her to "Cling to your worthless husk, but let the rest of us evolve!"

In spite of claiming that his actions are for the survival of humanity, in truth his plans are for himself, and anybody else is just a stepping stone in his path. As several of Jena's lines to the player note:

- "Yoseph...You've seen how he lies! How he'll trick the entire Ark into giving their lives for his twisted vision!"

-"Your parent's misfortune... The Pandemic in Zone 09... It's all his work! All for his sick ambition!"

After Jena's death, Yoseph stops hiding his more sinister side, setting his Raven Corps to attempt to execute the player, and then carrying out a purge of all dissenters in Neuron, with even him disowning people like Oliver, Brenda and Akira that were rather close to him with open coldness and cruelty.

## Trivia

* His first name, Yoseph, is the Hebrew form of the English name Joseph. It means "God adds" or "God increases."
* His last name, Calvert, is an Anglo-Saxon occupational name which means cattle herder. It is possible that this is in reference to his role as commander of Neuron.
