===Appearance=== | |||
Jordi is a handsome man by duck standards, due to his sharp eyes and fine tail feathers. He was well aware of his attractiveness, boasting about it. | |||
Like most Duck Clan warriors, Sgt. Joe wielded a [[Duck Halberd]] in battle. The name of his weapon, Prajuri, comes from the Indonesian word for soldier, being representative of his way of life. His helmet clasps were accented by purple orbs, which matched his coat. He considered him quite fashionable in some regards. | |||
On the battlefield he equipped a green shoulder guard that ran from the left shoulder to the arm as well as a helmet emblazoned with the Duck Clan emblem. Both pieces were designed to mitigate any counterattacks by the enemy after swing his halberd, a heavy weapon. | |||
===Personality=== | |||
Like most [[Duck|Ducks]], Jordi was cheerful and open-hearted by nature but it was his battle experience that makes him more military minded than most. | |||
Sgt. Joe | Always keeping his cool no matter what predicament he found himself in, Sgt. Joe always tried to analyze the situation and face the obstacles in front of him. looking at the situation and facing the difficult obstacles in front of him without giving up. Demonstrating this way of life as a warrior with confidence helped Hugo mature and accept his own growing responsibility as a hero. | ||
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. When [[Hallec]] insinuated Jordi looked tasty on their first meeting, he would jovially deflect the comment onto [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] instead. | |||
==History== | |||
Sgt. Joe was a battle-scarred veteran who fought on many battlefields making him a hero of the [[Duck Clan]]. The nickname "Sgt. Joe" came from the respect others have for him as a soldier, it was not a rank of the Duck Clan, who were egalitarian warriors much like the [[Karaya Clan]]. | |||
It was during the | It was during the [[Solar calendar|SY]] 465 war between the [[Six Clans]] and the [[Zexen Federation]] that he first met [[Lucia]]. The two bonded quickly as fellow warriors, with Joe also falling in love with Lucia's home-cooked meals. It was this bond that meant years later he served as something of a tutor to [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]], supporting him up to and through the [[War of the Champions]]. | ||
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. 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. | 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.

During Joe, Hugo, and Lulu's initial visit to [[Vinay del Zexay]], it was Joe who played the role of elder. When the group were denied entry to the [[Council]], it was Sgt. Joe who urged restraint from the brash youths and negotiated with the [[Zexen Knights|Zexen Knight]] on guard duty, knowing how obstinate they could be. | During Joe, Hugo, and Lulu's initial visit to [[Vinay del Zexay]], it was Joe who played the role of elder.

When Hugo lamented that he was unable to protect Lulu, Sgt. Joe responded harshly. Although filled with anger and grief himself, Jordi knew the reality of battle, and the meaning of wielding a weapon on the battlefield. He saw Hugo's lamentations as a denial of Lulu's warrior spirit. To be a warrior was to be prepared to die in Sgt. Joe's mind. | When Hugo lamented that he was unable to protect Lulu, Sgt.

When Lucia entrusted Hugo to him once more, he vowed not to make the same mistake twice, wanting to redeem himself from the pain and shame he felt for what he saw as his failure. | ||
Later, when the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] Army invaded the Grassland, Joe and Hugo would make their way to [[Chisha Village]] and meet Chris once again. There, Hugo tried to draw his blade, but Jordi stopped him. Of course Joe wanted vengeance for Lulu's death but, again, he knew that they had come to protect Chisha Village and his experience as a warrior ensured he could set aside his personal desires for the greater good. | Later, when the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia|Harmonian]] Army invaded the Grassland, Joe and Hugo would make their way to [[Chisha Village]] and meet Chris once again.
