Oh, you weren't there, doc, I forgot to explain that little addition.

So, long story short, Joseph revealing his background story about how and why has sort of released a dichotomy. Two faces of a coin. The composite of his whole. A thing that he kept away the moment he nerfed himself as to avoid being what he hated the most.

Bright, the more serene side of his personality. The one more outspoken and eloquate. You look at him, you look at an individual that will consistently try to disarm any volatile situation.

And then, there's dark. The violent one. The angry man. The reason why Joseph's pranks and farces can get particularly harrowing if his target of the day is especially disliked by the man.

This is the man we're talking about. He is angry. Often. And often he and Joseph's other half will split, mostly because the intricate ritual the mesmer used to cur away the source of his old misery wassn't a perfect one. Unsurprisingly, he is the one most prone to make issues where there is none. And when Alex gets a hold of the dark manifestation, she often punishes him in ways that forces him to deal with said anger without the ability to murder whatever pushes him to this vitriol.

Hence, the idea of dealing with an assertive, aggressive species looking to tease Joseph's dark side in a way that would force him to look inward would be something for mesmer Golem to pull.
