Archduke of Rosaria's second born son and Clive's younger brother. Despite being the younger child, Joshua inherited the power of the Eikon of Fire, Phoenix, and serves as its Dominant, with the ability to assume the Eikon's form.


Joshua is kind-hearted, compassionate, and bookish, and despite being frail and sickly, he wants to do his part to help his family and their home. As a child he was especially close to his older brother, Clive, viewed Jill as a sister, and had a close bond with Clive's wolf pup, Torgal. Joshua admires and respects his father Elwin, coming to him for advice regarding his role as the Phoenix's Dominant. His relationship with his mother, Anabella, is uneasy despite being her favorite. Joshua feels constrained and pressured after being chosen by the Phoenix, as Anabella often kept him in the confines of the castle and objected to how he mingled with the people due to her obsession with prestige and lineage. Though he would later on come to be disgusted with his mother's actions, a piece of Joshua nonetheless still loves her and he even tries to save her after all of her plans come crashing down, leaving Anabella to bedriven mad.
Speaks in clipped bursts, keeps an eye on the road and the waterline; slips in dry jokes.
