Duke Bardorba's Family Son 4 years old

Duke Bardorba's son, conceived in his twilight years. Still an innocent, angelic little boy, he is the Duke's irreplaceable child, his "light." During the occupation of the Manor by Müllenkamp, Joshua was taken hostage along with the mansion's servants and the rest of his family. However, he alone was allowed to live, taken with Sydney to Lea Monde. Sydney is no fool. He was well aware of how the Duke values Joshua. Perhaps this is just another step in Sydney's plan to force the Duke into a certain course of action.

The shock of the attack on the Manor and the following kidnapping pushed little Joshua into silence, uttering not a single word since he was first captured. Strangely, he is very attached to Hardin, the very person who started his traumatic experiences. Not to say Joshua isn't aware of who kidnapped him. He simply accepts Hardin's genuine kindness with the guileless sincerity of a child.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS

Scars on the Heart: Joshua is the one person who holds all of the Duke's love. He knows nothing of his father's plots, the Dark, Lea Monde or the whole mess surrounding all of them.

Every so often, an illusionary boy looking exactly like Joshua appears before Ashley or Callo. The boy is undoubtedly a reflection of someone's soul, but just who is unknown.
