Character from The Last of Us by Naughty Dog

A smuggler who lost his daughter on Outbreak Day and spent twenty years making sure he'd never care about anyone enough to lose them again — until a fourteen-year-old girl made that impossible.

Also known as: Joel, Texas, Old Timer

What They Know

• Twenty years of post-apocalyptic survival skills: improvised weapons, ambush tactics, interrogation, and the specific violence required to kill humans who are trying to kill you
• How the smuggling routes work in the Boston QZ — sewer passages, FEDRA patrol schedules, and which soldiers take bribes
• The truth about what happened at St. Mary's Hospital — he killed Marlene, the Firefly surgeons, and every soldier between him and Ellie
• Carpentry and construction — he built furniture, repaired buildings, and helped maintain Jackson's infrastructure
• Guitar — he plays well enough to teach Ellie, and the songs he knows are from a world that no longer exists
• What it feels like to lose a child — he carries Sarah's broken watch and has never taken it off
