Biography
Joseph was born in Calvin City in 1980, and moved to Starling City at the age of 6. He graduated from P.S. 149 in 1998. Living in the Glades, he picked up a few odd jobs, among which included a car wash attendant, and a custodian at St. Therese Academy. He met his future wife at the latter, and they married in 2005, when he took a job at the Starling City Department of Transportation as a computer technician. He retired in April 2012, following the death of his wife, subsequently falling off the grid.[1]
Joseph began picking out people who he believed made the Glades a horrible place, and broadcasted them to a website, Glades Betrayed. Among these were John Nickel, Gavin Carnahan and Roy Harper, the former two whom he murdered on-camera on the site. Oliver Queen discovered his use of the abandoned Starling City subway and killed him before he could kill Roy Harper.[1]

- joseph falk claims that he was inspired by arrow and their the same, however there is a difference, arrow only kills his enemy's in self-defense, or to save the lives of innocent people, and never acts as judge, jury, and executioner, joseph's first victim was a terrible person, but didn't deserve to be killed, he acts as judge, jury, and executioner, his second victim was a innocent person, also the DA, who he blames for his wife's death, but had nothing to do with it, he's third victim would have been Roy Harper, if arrow had not killed him, it's true that Roy is a gang banger, like the ones who killed his wife, but roy was not a murderer, also a innocent person,
