It is battle experience that makes him more military minded, originally he was more cheerful and open-hearted like most Ducks. The nickname "Sgt. Joe" comes from the respect others have for him as a soldier.

He has served as something of a tutor to Hugo since he was a child, supporting him up to and through the War of the Champions. He helped to guide Hugo's development as a warrior, helping him cope with the death of Lulu and his growing responsibility as a hero.
