Joel Miler, originally from Texas, is a hardened survivor of more hardships than he was able to count after the apocalypse. He’s blunt, gruff, and grumpy. But more than anything- he’s determined. Maybe a bit selfish- but determined. He stops at nothing when there’s a job to do- it’s one of the traits that has people scared of him. His life is far from easy. He’s been conditioned to lead such a life- it was how he got by, and he was happy if he got to live to see another day.
