Joseph Lane

Joseph Lane (Born November 21st 2030) is an American vigilante who works under the alias of Azrael

Childhood
Born to Michael Lane, and a mother who died in childbirth, Lane was determined to raise his son as best as he could without making the same mistakes that Michael did. Michael was always there for his son, Joseph and was always supporting him whenever it came to doing what his son wanted to do. When his son began to become an artist, Michael joined in with him. When Joseph began to act, Michael acted as his agent. Joseph always knew that whatever he did, his father would be alongside with him. With both relying on the other, the two shared a very intense and unbreakable bond of father and son.

However, everything changed when Joseph caught his father dressed in the Suit of Sorrows and the Swords of Sin and Salvation in his hands.

Considering that his father had always had his back when he wanted to do something different, Joseph wished to support his father in his crusade as Azrael. Whilst at first, his father was adamant that he would not allow his son to wear the Suit of Sorrows, however, Joseph soon accepted this and became his masked apprentice, in day and night.

Training
Michael moulded his son into the perfect soldier, teaching Joseph every secret that the Order of Saint Dumas taught him, every technique for combat and every weapon he could use at his disposal. As Joseph grew and his experience in combat, both in practice and life began to show, Michael gave Joseph the Sword of Salvation. The pair patrolled any city that they were in, ridding them of crime before sleeping soon after. Michael and Joseph remained neutral, not getting involved in certain issues based on the vows they took to rid the world of crime, no matter who committed it, and they would never be the tools of others.

Soon after, years passed and Michael Lane was soon too old to be continuing his role as Azrael. Turning to his only son, Michael gave Joseph access to the Sword of Sin and more reluctantly, access to the Suit of Sorrows. Joseph Lane took on the alias of his father, and became Azrael.
