Originally a florist and herbalist in the imperial town of Great Moss in Arnak, Josef was forced to flee his home and business following a domestic dispute. A devotee of Gourna and now a member of a group of her worshipers known as The Pride he wanders the border lands of the empire continuing to trade herbs and flowers while gathering knowledge and writings. Josef is recognisable by a weather beaten white hat, a friendly smile and a large bucket of herbs.
