Backstory: Joe is the apprentice to a Apache shaman named Speaks-with-Wind. Speaks-with-Wind found the boy wandering in the woods, the apparent survivor of some sort of supernatural attack (he was covered in slashes and wounds that were infected with evil spirits). Speaks-with-Wind viewed him with his third eye and quickly realized that he had the power to become a potent spellcaster.
Joe desired to learn to hone his magic into a weapon to strike out at the 'monsters' who had taken his childhood away from him. As he grew into a young man, his desire for vengeance tempered into a strong will to prevent what happened to him as a boy from happening to anyone else. When his master was consulted multiple times by people in the Yorkton area regarding supernatural attacks, he asked to be sent to help protect people. His master, however, told him to wait, as although he was powerful, his control was less than perfect. He did, for a while, but ultimately it was too much for him to take, and so he left without saying anything to the only person who had raised him as a father.
Arriving in town, he knew that he would draw attention, so he opened up a business posing as a psychic, which he uses as a cover to gather information regarding supernatural activity in the area, as well as offer people council and what wisdom he had learned from his master.
Joe has been in town for a little over a year, and most people don't pay him and his "hoodoo" any mind. He is making enough money to provide for himself, and he has helped several people with their supernatural problems.
Appearance: Joe is a man in his early 20', with light skin and purple eyes. he is 5'9" and weighs just shy of 175 lbs.
When he is working, he wears a white dress shirt and black slacks; when he is in his downtime, he tends to dress like someone from the pacific northwest: hoodies, shorts, and tennis shoes. When he fights supernatural evil, he wears a dark jacket that he has enchanted to protect him from harm, jeans, and steel-toe boots, with a cavalry sabre that his master gave him on one hip and his lightning rod (a slender 2' long steel bar) on his other.
