Joker is a male anime and manga character who features in Fire Force.

Biography

Joker (Japanese: ジョーカー, Hepburn: Jōkā) was a male human born in the Tokyo empire after the events of the Great Cataclysm (大災害, Daisaigai). The young boy was abandoned by his parents and lived as an orphan where at a young age he came to be taken in by the Holy Sol Temple. This saw him being inducted into the Holy Sol's Shadow (聖陽の影, Seiyō no Kage) that were secret assassins deployed by the church to eliminate their enemies. Given the name Five-Two, he came to be trained alongside the other children that were a member of the group. Exceptional among his peers, his skills drew the attention of the captain of the unit who began to abuse Five-Two for his supposed pride in his skills. This abuse occurred both publicly and in private with Five-Two experiencing regular beatings. In one case, the captain was responsible for burning Five-Two's watch that was the only item that connected him to his old life before joining the order whilst being told that he was not special.

Five-Two would later work with Leonard Burns, acting as a liaison between the Temple's secret and public organizations, but Burns would also look after him in the process. At one point in time, the pair hunted Infernals that spawned within the Amaterasu and upon finding the last one, Five-Two recklessly dashed to attack it despite Burns noticing something strange and warning him against it. The creature screamed belligerently and forced the pair into an Adolla Link, an experience that caused both men to lose an eye. During the Link, Burns and Five-Two were transported to the Adolla realm and were bestowed upon by the Evangelist. Returning to reality, Burns quickly kills the Infernal, whilst Five-Two finds himself holding a piece of ignited stone, an object he was able to retrieve from Adolla, proving they were transported to another world and it was not an illusion. Five-Two comes to believe that the church's teachings are lies while Burns continues to follow his life regardless of Sun God's existence or benevolence, something Five-Two sees as a painful life. Burns would later store the burning stone in a bottle and begin investigating the Adolla using his position within Company 1.
