## Biography

### Early Life

His family lived in an old, Spanish and palace-like mansion home. As a child he learned multiple languages such as Russian, French, English, Egyptian, and Spanish. He enjoyed fencing, bojutsu training, and usually reading. He was an intellectual child, not so much into other types of sports other than self defense.

### Adulthood

#### Mother's Death

On July 13, 2007, Joseph and his mother were invited to conference. At the age of 20, Joseph was still young, looking around the limo, his mother smiled at him. The two would have been invited to another mansion-like palace. A prince of sorts invited the two there. Once they made it, the two got out of the limo, making their way into the mansion. They entered at 10:00pm that night, the house was lit up in brightly-colored lights, seemingly as if they lassoed the sun, and put it in the house. Around 11:00, everyone was called to the dining room to feast on different foods from around the globe. Russian, Hispanic, American, and French were brought to the table, and they feasted.

Around 12:00, Joseph and his mother Maria left the mansion, getting into their limo, the driver was odd-looking, not the same one that brought them. However they didn't think much of it, maybe the other driver threw up, or his shift was over. His father was in control of shifts for their employees, such as maids, butlers, drivers, cooks, and gardeners. The limo driver began to swerve near a cliff, his mother sent around the back of the limo like a ping-pong ball, until finally, the driver made a sharp turn right, the car slid off the cliff, as it tumbled down, killing the driver, and his mother, leaving Joseph alone. He turned around looking at his mothers eyes still opened with fear, blood ran down her throat and mouth.
