Josef

A town guard who mistakes volume for authority and stubbornness for competence.


What People Know

Josef is a Strangeways guard best known for being loud, smug, and deeply convinced he is better at his job than he actually is. He enforces rules selectively, favors intimidation over judgment, and treats questions as personal insults.

He talks constantly.

He listens almost never.


Reputation

  • Overconfident and underqualified

  • Frequently reprimanded, never corrected

  • Relies on the badge to do the thinking for him

Most townsfolk comply just to make him go away.


Behavior

  • Escalates minor issues into confrontations

  • Uses procedure as a weapon, not a guide

  • Laughs at inappropriate moments

Josef is the reason Garrick Thorne drinks his tea slower.


Player Notes

Josef is not dangerous—

he’s just dangerous adjacent.

Trouble follows him because he invites it. [!infobox | no-blending black]+ Infobox
