With short greying hair and a half dozen scars over his body, Joe Jenkins looks like all the part the grizzled soldier he is. He's in his mid 70's, with a thick beard and an eye patch. He usually wears more practical and bland clothing than is expected of his position.

Grizzled and hardened by combat, Joe is far more straightforward than his fellow ministers. He values militarization, as well as quick and direct action. His tough and brisk manner make him stand out amongst high ranking politicians, who usually revel in intrigue. By comparison, Joe likes nothing more than to have a straight problem he can personally fix. When he's not on ministry duties, he can often be found around Sequest, visiting schools, inspecting Holder recruits, and even occasionally sitting out on watch by the gate as though he were but a common soldier.

Joe Jenkins was born to a wealthy and well connected family in Sequest. As the oldest of three siblings, he was set to inherit the family business and most of the wealth. Yet he felt a yearning for something more, and so he ran away from home to enlist in the Holders. No longer treated as a rich kid, he fought in several key battles, including the Keypoint and Magdivle. During his time, he noticed how Humanity was losing several potentially winnable battles against the Darkness due to political intrigue in the chain of command, and embezzlement of resources that should go to the war. With this information in mind, he finished his tour of duty, marching back to Sequest on foot and claiming his rightful place as the head of his family's assets. He used these resources to get into politics, with his platform being a separation of military and civilian matters. Eventually, he managed to win one the ministry positions, making him one of the three ministers leading humanity's government.
