Name: Joel Miller
Alias: Texas, Crazy Man, Old Timer.
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: Straight
Faction: Formerly a smuggler, now a survivor.
Role: The protector of the cure.
Location: Most likely Tommy's Dam in Jackson County.
Physical Description: Joel is most notably shown in a green checkered collared shirt, which is rolled up to his elbows, and jeans. He carries an old, worn canvas backpack which holds a gas mask and a flashlight attached to the strap. Throughout the game, Joel picks up different items (pendants, letters etc.) and the player can have Joel craft Health kits, cocktails etc. which are stowed in his pack. Like Ellie, he also changes his appearance slightly in accordance to the seasons (e.g. in the winter, Joel is seen in a different shirt and a coat).
Personality: Joel is considered by some a torturer or murderer/killer, but he basically does what's necessary to survive. The killing of his daughter made him a more hardened, darker man as he progressed to who he is today.
Alignment: Joel is considered good simply because he's one of the protagonists, but in actuality he's an anti-hero.
Likes: Surviving, Ellie's surviving, Tommy, Maria, Sarah (though he dislikes the details and memories of her death)
Dislikes: Hunters, Fireflies (most of them), speaking about deceased people he knew personally.
Strengths: Skilled in various fighting techniques, using weapons, killing infected, killing in general.
Weaknesses: Like everyone else in this world, Joel is definitely not immortal. He's been saved by many other people, his strength sometimes failing.
History and Background: Joel was born on September 26, most likely between 1984 and 1985, and grew up in Texas with his younger brother Tommy. It is also stated during the 'Fall' section of the campaign that Joel raised Tommy and that they both struggled with it.
Sometime in his youth, Joel had a daughter named Sarah and was married to his wife for a short period of time. Saddled early in life with the responsibilities that come with being a father, he never had the opportunity to attend college. No mention is given as to the fate or whereabouts of Sarah's mother. However, it is revealed in a conversation between Joel and Ellie that the subject of whatever happened is very painful for Joel to talk about, and that he raised their daughter as a single parent for most of his life. They live in a typical two story single-family home somewhere in or around Austin, Texas. This is clarified in the opening scenes when Tommy and Joel state they need to leave Travis County by taking Texas State Highway 71. Joel was possibly a carpenter, which kept him fit.
Arsenal: Assault Rifle, revolver, baseball bat, shiv(s)
Equipment: Health kit, crafting tools, various notes and firefly pendants.
Extras: Joel seems to be fond of coffee. He may also approve of the University of Eastern Colorado, as he remarks "Go bighorns." He also seemed to enjoy sports, as he explained football to Ellie on their way to the University. Although not seen in the game itself, the on-stage play One Night Live features Joel singing to Ellie after she requests that he does it. Joel also intended to teach Ellie guitar.
