He was always the lesser of his brothers, who all excelled in brute strength. Though Joash was gifted with a sword, he preferred to be reading or writing or studying. Because of this, his father was constantly comparing him to his brothers, which caused him to have terribly low self-esteem and become withdrawn. He hid in his study constantly, but when a proposal of marriage into the Sansora kingdom, Joash jumped at the chance to leave his kingdom. Saskia came during the first month of winter, and though her advisors wanted her to pick Joash's eldest brother, Saskia was nineteen at the time and decided she wanted to pick for herself. She found Joash in his study and the two of them instantly connected, though they were polar opposites. Saskia was there for 3 days until she made her decision and asked Joash if he'd agree to the marriage. He accepted and a week later he was with his queen in Sansora. Though he genuinely loved Saskia, for a while it seemed she loved him back, but after they had Ares, she became distant and cold again, the stress of her entire life weighing on her back. Joash never stopped loving her. When she would send Ares off, he would go visit him once a month. He knew this was the reason Ares never caved to the wickedness that grew in him. The fact that his father still checked on him kept him from caving. Saskia thought she was doing the right thing for him, by giving him something else to do to keep busy, but she was doing the opposite. But because Joash was who he was, he never spoke up about what he thought. He loved all his children dearly and was the soothing to their mother's harshness. When word came Adeline was trying to open up a rift, Joash knew he needed to say something. He sailed to Ecra with a small army to try and meet with Adeline. She would not have him, but he met with Verena, her sister. Verena told him about the rebellion she was growing against her sister and the need for powerful people. Joash knew his generation would not be the one to stop Adeline and her rift, but Kenna's. He could see it at that moment, Kenna was their promised savior, the one to keep the Amaris bloodline from damnation. To keep the world from eternal darkness. That pit of fire in her- she would be the one to change the entire world. So Joash told Verena of his hidden daughter, and in exchange, Verena orchestrated Saskia and Joash's assassination, the one thing that could get Kenna to step into her birthright, the one the world was promised. So in two weeks' time, Joash kept the assassination a secret from everyone, and he was not afraid when the time came. He told all his children he loved them that night for the last time, and died at peace, knowing Kenna would be the light.
