Joel is the main protagonist of the PS3 and PS4 video game The Last of Us. He is a morally ambiguous figure who is determined to survive no matter what in a post-apocalyptic world. Though he is an incredibly violent, ruthless, and ethically sketchy individual, he is not completely without positive traits or heroic moments and consistently looks out for the well-being of Ellie, the young girl he travels with. In essence he is a parental figure looking out for his daughter. He is voiced by Troy Baker, who also voices Rhys in Tales from the Borderlands.
