Joshua Nolan is a former lieutenant in the Earth Military Coalition who fought in the alien conflict. Born prior to the aliens' arrival, he saw his comfortable life turned upside down when the war between the humans and Votans began. The conflict took its toll, and in the aftermath of Arkfall, he found himself a wanderer in a dangerous new world. There he was joined by Irisa, a young Irathient he raised as his own and who served as his lone companion in the lawless badlands. Nolan believes in right and wrong, but adminsters it by his own code.
