Joe

Joe (ジョー), also known as Joseph outside Japan, is a mysterious character appearing in the beginning on Mega Man Legends 2 in Yosyonke City. He was found on the Calinca continent 10 years before the events of the game with no memory of his past and was taken in by Yosyonke City's bartender, Maria. He is determined to go to the Forbidden Island for reasons unknown even by him. When the owner of Yosyonke's Junk Shop told Roll Caskett that Joe is building a Dropship like the one her father designed, she believes that he must know her father, and goes after him to ask. In Joe's laboratory, Maria's daughter says he went to Yosyonke's Abandoned Mine, and that her mom would make Joe her dad after he goes to Forbidden Island and returns. Mega Man and Roll go after Joe, he is found injured by one Jaiwan when he tried to take the Refractor from the mine to power his Dropship, and after Jaiwan's defeat is taken back to Yosyonke to be treated. Mega Man and Roll talk with him and he lets them use his Dropship, and says he can't help Roll about her father as he has amnesia, and had the Dropship's blueprints with him when he was found collapsed.

Joe is later seen again in Calinca during the search of the last key, where he worked day and night until he collapsed to modify the old train in Yosyonke's station to protect the city from the pirates, but as he is in no condition to use it, he gives the Train Key to Mega Man so he and Roll can use it against the Gemeinschaft. After Mega Man and Maria exit his room, he looks to an old photo of Roll with her parents, being implied that he recovered his memory and is Roll's disappeared father, Banner. He decides to stop thinking about the past and that he would start a new live. If Mega Man return to Calinca after Geetz's defeat, Joe is no longer in Yosyonke, the man in the condominium saying he moved with Maria and her daughter to a warmer place to help his old wound.
