During their journey, they uncover a plot by Colonel Alan Richard to overthrow the monarchy. Joshua's past is tied to the secret society Ouroboros: Professor Alba reveals himself as Georg Weissmann, a high-ranking member of Ouroboros, and states that Joshua is a former member of the society, restoring his memories of his service with them.

Reader's Guide

Joshua is one of the 8 playable characters in Trails in the Sky. Apart from the protagonists Estelle and Joshua, other characters rotate in and out of the party while playing the main story. In combat, which is turn-based on a grid, each character has three methods for action: Arts (magic spells that take an extra turn to cast), Crafts (character-specific abilities that use Craft Points), and S-Crafts (powered-up Crafts usable when a character has over 100 CP, depleting the gauge). S-Breaks allow characters to immediately perform an S-Craft regardless of turn order. Joshua's role in the story is central: he and Estelle are the only characters who remain in the party throughout the main story, which is split into a prologue and four chapters.
