personality

Joel is often described as an antihero. He is a hardened survivor whose obsession with survival is fueled by his desensitization due to his daughter's death. Joel's years of survival have led him to become resourceful, practical, and emotionally impenetrable, although he is still traumatized and vulnerable.

background

As revealed throughout The Last of Us, Joel's origins showcase him as a loyal, loving, fun, and protective single father to his daughter Sarah. The year is 2003 when Joel, Sarah and Joel's brother Tommy flee their Texas home as the infection begins to spread rapidly, creating dangerous and lethal infected humans that continue to multiply. During their escape, Sarah is shot and killed by a soldier. Twenty years later, Joel is a smuggler embedded within the quarantined zone of Boston, run by the corrupt and authoritative Federal Disaster Response Agency (FEDRA). He's been desensitized by the death of his daughter during the beginning of the pandemic. He's also separated from his brother Tommy, who lives in Wyoming. He struggles to find a way to escape Boston and reach Tommy, but it's been difficult to find the transportation he needs to do so. He and his smuggling partner Tess are duped into buying a needed car battery that the dealer has sold to a group of Fireflies, a rebel group that opposes FEDRA. They soon encounter Marlene, the head of the Fireflies. She begs Joel and Tess to smuggle Ellie out of the quarantined Boston, offering them a working truck in exchange. Joel slowly begins to show what we saw in his origins — the loving and protective side of him that also has a sense of humor.

background

Beyond the military skills (and others) he clearly learned earlier in his life, Joel's strengths lie in his various weaknesses — and vice versa. Joel is initially laser-focused on survival and getting back to his brother. These survival instincts are unparalleled, which drives him to overcome nearly every obstacle he comes across. The weakness in this otherwise strength is the necessity to shut off all emotions and disregard the ethical and moral dynamics of killing and sacrificing others for the task at hand. That is what it takes to survive the world he inhabits. Joel is a loving, loyal, and kind-hearted character haunted by the past and forever scarred by the death of his daughter. His undying struggle to survive this barren world of turmoil has created mental and physical scar tissue that covers his more endearing qualities. After two decades of mourning the loss of his daughter and using his skills and instincts to survive a brutal post-apocalyptic world, only the responsibility of protecting a newcomer
