He is a clever, cautious, and crafty man who prefers to fight strategically and defensively, as he moves around constantly while using projectile attacks and illusory tricks, and, when he believed Kenshiro to be dead, he made sure to check if he had actually died.

Although Joker is a fighter who is based on the use of optical illusions and who always tries to avoid direct confrontation, it can be seen that he is a warrior with a sense of honor, since he preferred to die to be Kenshiro's messenger.

Joker was watching [[Yuria]] and Shin's conversation, waiting for Yuria to leave so he could inform them that the man with the seven scars had attacked the valley prison and Heart was on his way. Shin orders him to do whatever it takes to finish off Ken. Soon after, during Kenshiro and [[Heart]] fight, Joker threw one of his cards at Heart's cheek, cutting him off and making him see his own blood, activating his berserker state. After Mr. Heart was defeated, Joker retreats.

After Kenshiro infiltrated Shin's fortress, Joker set him the trap that his boss has ordered: first he sent four thugs to entertain Kenshiro, giving him time to make gasoline fell down the stairs, hitting the ground, to later turn fire on. As soon as ~~The~~ fire starts, Ken jumped up, trying to catch Joker. He followed him to the roof of the fortress and there, Joker fled with the help of his hawk.

Before Kenshiro could finish off [[Jackal]], Joker appeared from nowhere, throwing several of his cards at Kenshiro, taking advantage of the distraction to rescue Jackal.

Safe in a building, Joker advises Jackal to kill Kenshiro, because, if he doesn't ~~kilo~~ him, not only Kenshiro will chase him: KING gang would do it as well. To accomplish ~~his~~ mission, Joker tells him to use [[Devil Rebirth]], giving him a medallion with the portrait of his mother. Then, he fly away in his hawk.

As Shin watched his [[Southern Cross|city]] alongside Yuria, Joker informed him that [[Dante]] had just returned from crushing a peasant rebellion. He was next to Shin in his throne room, and before Dante and his gang left to find Kenshiro and his companions, Joker gave them instructions on where Ken was going.

With the intention of ending Kenshiro again, ~~joker~~ forged an alliance with [[Baron]] and [[Junk]], two rival gang leaders, to unite and finish him off. That doesn't ends pretty well.

Joker kept watching and listening from the shadows to Shin's meeting with his generals. He surprised [[Saki (HnK)|Saki]], listening, but he let her go.

He was present with Shin when [[Balcom]] returned, claiming to have killed Kenshiro. Joker didn't trust his words and went to see in person if Kenshiro was alive or not.
