— Sgt. Joe's profile
Sgt. Joe is a battle-scarred veteran who fought on many battlefields making him a hero of the Duck Clan. The nickname "Sgt. Joe" comes from the respect others have for him as a soldier. It is his battle experience that made him more military minded than most. Like most Ducks, he was more cheerful and open-hearted by nature.
Jordi was a handsome man by duck standards, due to his sharp eyes and fine tail feathers. He was noted as being able to make sly comments about people without them noticing and his surprisingly jovial sense of humor contributed to his popularity. He was well aware of his attractiveness, boasting about it.
Jordi used to live with his beautiful wife and two children until tragedy struck the family when his eldest son suddenly became ill and died. At the time, Sergeant Joe was away fighting for the Grassland in their war against the Zexen Federation. He was informed of his son's illness but was unable to leave the battlefield and so never got to see his son before he died. Torn between his life as a warrior and his inability to protect his family, he left them.
Greatly trusted by Lucia, chief of the Karaya Clan, he 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.
Following the war, he would reunite with his wife, dedicating himself to his children.
